Build integration tools, debug issues across networking, hardware interfaces, and distributed systems, and deliver production-ready software. Collaborate across autonomy, avionics, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering teams. Support field testing and operational integration activities.

Maintain cloud and on-premises infrastructure across secure and air-gapped environments. Responsibilities include provisioning servers and virtual machines, monitoring systems, responding to incidents, automating administration, managing networks, implementing backups and disaster recovery, hardening systems, remediating vulnerabilities, planning capacity, and documenting operational procedures. The role supports Microsoft 365 GCC-High, AWS-Gov, CUI, ITAR, CMMC, and NIST compliance requirements.

Develop and maintain software integrations connecting payload hardware, mission applications, and autonomous systems. Integrate SDKs and APIs for cameras, radios, sensors, and other equipment; build configuration, monitoring, and control tools; customize mission applications; debug Linux, networking, hardware, and distributed software systems; create Docker deployments; and support field testing and upstream production integration.

The Buyer manages full-cycle procurement for prototype and production hardware, including RFQs, supplier evaluation, negotiations, purchase orders, delivery schedules, cost analysis, and supplier performance. The role maintains BOM and procurement records, supports NPI and lifecycle changes, ensures FAR, DFARS, ITAR, cybersecurity, and audit compliance, and collaborates with engineering, operations, finance, quality, receiving, and warehouse teams to mitigate supply risks and improve costs.

Leads defense business development for unmanned ground vehicle systems by identifying DoD opportunities, managing relationships, shaping capture and teaming strategies, and overseeing proposals through contract award. Analyzes markets, acquisition cycles, competitors, and pipeline health while translating technical capabilities into mission-focused solutions. Requires federal and DoD business development experience, familiarity with procurement processes, and the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance. The role is remote with travel up to 25% domestically and internationally.

Leads complex technical recruiting searches across electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, avionics, hardware, and related engineering disciplines. Partners with engineering leadership on talent strategy, market mapping, sourcing, pipelines, candidate engagement, compensation, and closing. Advises on specialized talent markets, mentors recruiters, develops scalable recruiting practices, and represents the company in engineering communities. The role supports defense technology hiring subject to ITAR and security-clearance requirements.

Own product strategy, roadmap, and backlog for a defined portfolio area. Gather insights from factory floors and test events, translate feedback into user stories and prototypes, define success metrics, evaluate build-versus-buy decisions, and communicate product status and risks. Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, operators, and leadership while supporting defense and autonomous-systems products.

Lead technical development of unmanned aerial systems from concept and prototyping through first flight and productionization. Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering, systems architecture, requirements, integration, verification, testing, certification, and risk management. Establish scalable systems engineering, configuration management, design review, and agile execution processes across UAS programs. Collaborate with suppliers, customers, government agencies, and leadership while supporting airworthiness, safety, and regulatory compliance.
