Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Owns end-to-end design of new battery packs from concept through production. Responsibilities include optimizing performance, size, weight, manufacturability, and reliability; leading prototyping, testing, qualification, production handoff, requirements definition, drawings, failure analysis, cross-functional architecture execution, design reviews, mentorship, and program leadership.

Designs, develops, integrates, and fields next-generation autonomous aircraft systems. Responsibilities include electro-mechanical avionics packaging, electrical interconnects, thermal management, aircraft integration, structural and modal analysis, environmental and EMI/EMC compliance, design reviews, validation, failure analysis, and flight test readiness.

Lead the architecture, design, development, integration, verification, and production transition of autonomous aircraft power systems. Responsibilities include power generation and distribution, custom high-voltage power electronics, battery-backed uninterruptible power, component trade studies, laboratory development, troubleshooting, reliability verification, and cross-functional technical leadership. The role also involves building and mentoring an engineering team, conducting design reviews, and driving program execution in a fast-paced defense aerospace environment.

Leads strategic Talent Acquisition and People Experience programs, including recruiting process optimization, technology implementations, change management, governance, and adoption. Partners with recruiting, HR, systems, legal, finance, IT, and business stakeholders to redesign workflows, establish operating models, manage risks and dependencies, improve candidate and hiring-manager experiences, and use data to measure outcomes and drive continuous improvement.

Build and operate Kubernetes-native platform services and distributed orchestration capabilities supporting AI workloads across cloud, on-premises, edge, sovereign, and air-gapped environments. Design production software, data-processing infrastructure, observability, deployment patterns, and operational standards. Establish reference architectures, reliability practices, benchmarks, and recovery procedures while partnering with autonomy, ML, simulation, infrastructure, and product teams. Provide hands-on technical leadership in distributed systems architecture, implementation, troubleshooting, performance analysis, and platform reliability.

Leads mechanical sustaining engineering for V-BAT aircraft across production, testing, and field operations. Resolves hardware issues through containment, root-cause investigation, corrective action, verification, and implementation. Provides hands-on troubleshooting, coordinates cross-functional investigations, reviews deviations and nonconformances, and updates CAD models, drawings, specifications, and bills of material. Documents findings and applies lessons learned to improve designs and manufacturing processes.

Leads software and system verification for autonomous aircraft platforms. Owns automated test infrastructure and end-to-end testing across SIL, HIL, and VIL environments; designs mission-critical test cases for autonomous behaviors, safety scenarios, degraded modes, and requirements compliance; coordinates flight testing and software release campaigns; and manages cross-functional test teams supporting avionics, embedded systems, autonomy, flight operations, and safety engineering.

Designs and optimizes low-observable aircraft features, including RCS shaping, edge treatments, radar-absorbing materials, and subsystem integration. Conducts electromagnetic signature modeling, supports RCS testing and validation, translates threats into survivability requirements, and collaborates across propulsion, avionics, structures, materials, manufacturing, and AI teams. The role also contributes to threat modeling, customer assessments, and program milestone decisions for autonomous aircraft.

Leads cybersecurity architecture and risk management for airborne aerospace and defense platforms. Responsibilities include threat modeling, vulnerability and attack-surface assessments, secure architecture, encryption and key-management protections, defense-in-depth, DoD RMF authorization evidence, supplier design reviews, security verification, penetration testing, and remediation coordination. The role supports aircraft safety, availability, and mission effectiveness while working with engineering teams, suppliers, customers, and program leadership.

Own the architecture, analysis, design, integration, testing, and flight validation of aircraft environmental control systems. Perform thermal and fluid-system sizing, aerothermal design, modeling, supplier management, test planning, instrumentation, and flight-test troubleshooting. Deliver flight-ready ECS hardware for a special access defense program while managing rapid design iterations and technical tradeoffs.
