Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Owns requirements, functional architecture, traceability, safety integration, and technical change-impact analysis for an autonomous yard truck program. Coordinates software, hardware, autonomy, controls, vehicle, safety, integration, and test teams; ensures requirements are implementable and verifiable. The role also matures systems engineering processes, evaluates AI-assisted engineering tools, leads cross-functional technical reviews, and mentors systems engineers.

Designs and owns vehicle-level test strategies for autonomous vehicle features and safety-critical functions. Translates requirements into test plans, executes testing across simulation, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and live vehicles, analyzes failures, automates checks, and communicates system risk and readiness. Partners with systems, software, hardware, and safety teams on verification and validation strategy, testability, and program milestones.

Own end-to-end command-and-control software integration across autonomous vehicle systems, middleware, networks, and operator control units. Define message contracts, bridge autonomy and middleware, support legacy and next-generation interfaces, deploy software to customer hardware, and debug field issues across constrained networks. Translate program needs into C2 capabilities, collaborate across engineering teams, analyze test results, and support real-world missions. The role requires Linux development, middleware experience, cross-stack troubleshooting, communication skills, and willingness to use agentic AI and travel.

Develops and edits compliant proposals and business development materials for U.S. Government and defense opportunities. Translates complex technical, operational, and programmatic input into persuasive customer-focused content, including RFIs, sources sought responses, white papers, solution briefs, capability statements, and executive summaries. Collaborates with capture, growth, technical, program, and leadership teams to create win themes, tailor messaging, manage reviews, maintain content libraries, and improve proposal-writing processes.

Manages manufacturing builds from kickoff through commissioning, customer turnover, invoicing, and warranty transition. Owns scope, schedule, budget, quality, resource allocation, risk management, safety, and contract execution. Leads engineering and technician teams, coordinates across Operations and Engineering, reports build status, mentors personnel, and ensures compliance with ISO 9001, SMS, and other applicable standards.

Lead company-wide technical training for autonomous ground vehicle operators, maintainers, safety personnel, and customers. Develop curricula, instructor materials, hands-on exercises, assessments, and certification criteria; coordinate delivery with trainers and field teams; support program kickoffs and deployments; establish scalable intake and execution processes; track readiness and enablement metrics; and continuously improve training through cross-functional and customer feedback.

Build and operate agentic AI infrastructure, including agent definitions, MCP servers, multi-agent orchestration, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, enterprise integrations, identity controls, and production services. Establish reliable autonomy boundaries, observability, security, cost controls, and human escalation processes. Lead adoption through training, onboarding, platform standards, contributor enablement, and cross-functional influence across engineering, safety, IT, cybersecurity, product, and leadership.

Lead technical execution for complex defense autonomy programs, owning system architecture, requirements, integration, verification, validation, safety, cybersecurity, schedules, and technical delivery. Direct multidisciplinary engineering teams across software, hardware, mechanical, electrical, autonomy, and systems integration. Collaborate with government customers, partners, and vendors, oversee autonomous vehicle and weapons-payload integration, manage technical risks, and support lab and field demonstrations.

Designs, validates, debugs, and supports production of high-reliability electrical hardware for autonomous military and commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include PCB and power supply design, circuit simulation, prototyping, hardware bring-up, signal and power integrity analysis, verification testing, design documentation, manufacturing support, cost and yield improvements, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring junior engineers.

Designs, manages, and secures multi-account AWS infrastructure supporting autonomous vehicle platforms and enterprise operations. Responsibilities include Terraform infrastructure-as-code, inventory management, production change control, incident response, monitoring and observability, security compliance, vulnerability remediation, cost optimization, and technical documentation. The role collaborates with cybersecurity teams and manages AWS commercial and GovCloud environments, including networking, compute, storage, IAM, and EKS infrastructure.
