Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

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.

Design, build, secure, and operate Crucible’s cloud infrastructure across commercial cloud, GovCloud, on-premise, and air-gapped environments. Responsibilities include Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, GitOps, networking, identity and security controls, CI/CD, observability, distributed-system debugging, deployment tooling, and infrastructure reliability. The role partners with software teams to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable, secure platform solutions.

Build automated end-to-end tests, frameworks, harnesses, services, and infrastructure for autonomous aircraft software across SIL, HIL, and VIL environments. Automate release testing, orchestration, data collection, analysis, and reporting; debug failures across software, networking, hardware, and simulation; expand system coverage; and integrate testing into CI/CD and release workflows.

Build and improve platform security for software operating across cloud, factory, edge, and air-gapped environments. Responsibilities include implementing identity, access control, secrets management, data protection, and system boundaries; hardening Kubernetes, Linux, cloud, and edge deployments; securing software supply chains; automating CI/CD security controls; conducting threat modeling and vulnerability remediation; and supporting accreditation through technical controls, evidence, and system designs.

Design, analyze, prototype, test, and support production of mechanical and electromechanical components for UAV systems. Responsibilities include aircraft structural analysis, SolidWorks CAD modeling, engineering drawings, GD&T, FEA, hand calculations, DFM, rapid prototyping, hardware integration, troubleshooting, configuration management, and collaboration with electrical, manufacturing, and flight-test teams.

Build and own the Linux-based edge platform powering factory, deployable, and air-gapped Crucible environments. Responsibilities include system provisioning, networking, security, updates, recovery, device lifecycle management, hardware and peripheral integrations, disconnected operation, fleet management, and full-stack debugging across applications, operating systems, networks, and physical equipment. The role also partners on edge-to-cloud architecture, deployment topology, and system security.

Build end-to-end manufacturing software for Crucible, covering MES, MRP, production planning, inventory, supply chain, data models, APIs, frontends, testing, and rollout. Design workflows for work orders, BOMs, routings, scheduling, capacity, and production state. Collaborate directly with factory, manufacturing, supply chain, product, and engineering teams to convert operational needs into production-ready capabilities across cloud, edge, and classified environments.
