Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Develop guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for advanced aircraft in a blue-sky defense project. Responsibilities include vehicle dynamics modeling, flight-control design, simulation, real-world control-system tuning and optimization, and applying modern control theory. The role requires strong aircraft dynamics and handling-qualities expertise, production C++ experience, and MATLAB/Simulink proficiency. Candidates must be able to obtain a Secret clearance and collaborate effectively in a fast-moving engineering environment.

Design, analyze, integrate, test, and support mechanical systems for aerospace platforms across the full product lifecycle. Responsibilities include avionics packaging, harnessing, connector selection, structural design, CAD, engineering calculations, prototyping, production support, troubleshooting, and field operations. Collaborate with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Program Management, and external suppliers to deliver reliable, buildable, and mission-ready hardware.

Lead design, development, integration, and validation of complex ground-system software. Define software architecture, derive and trace software requirements, participate in system reviews, collaborate with hardware/network/test teams, and support customer-facing technical deliverables.

Lead end-to-end U.S. federal, international government, and commercial proposal efforts for the Asia/Middle East go-to-market team. Coordinate cross-functional teams, manage compliance and schedules, oversee reviews and submissions, improve proposal processes, mentor contributors, and support briefings, customer meetings, demonstrations, and events. Develop related deliverables including RFIs, ROM pricing estimates, and white papers.

Lead development and technical delivery of maritime autonomy capabilities for USVs, UUVs, and cooperating UAVs. Design motion planning, localization, tracking, safety assurance, COLREGS-compliant behaviors, and heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration. Build high-performance, well-tested software, integrate it onto real platforms, support deployment and demonstrations, analyze mission logs, and contribute to R&D roadmaps. Collaborate across perception, planning, simulation, hardware, and operational test teams while helping customers define requirements and technical approaches.

Develop and deploy autonomy software for unmanned surface, underwater, and aerial vehicles in maritime missions. Responsibilities include motion planning, localization and tracking, safety assurance, COLREGS adherence, multi-agent coordination, distributed optimization, rigorous software testing, platform integration, deployment support, mission-log analysis, and autonomy R&D. The role also involves cross-functional collaboration, customer and demonstration support, roadmap development, and mentoring junior engineers. Travel is typically approximately 25% annually.

Lead technical direction for maritime autonomy capabilities across multiple programs. Develop motion planning, localization, tracking, safe maritime behaviors, COLREGS-compliant operations, and heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration for USVs, UUVs, and UAVs. Build and integrate high-performance, rigorously tested software; support deployment, vehicle testing, demonstrations, and mission-log analysis. Mentor engineers, guide architecture and roadmaps, research new algorithms, and collaborate across perception, planning, simulation, hardware, and operational test teams. Travel is typically about 25%.

Own the V-BAT unmanned aircraft system reliability model and failure-prediction strategy. Build fault trees, analyze field and test data, identify single points of failure, guide design-for-reliability decisions, lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions, manage reliability testing and production screening, and track MTBF, failure-rate trends, and reliability growth for leadership.

Lead the architecture and implementation of Shield AI’s knowledge-graph-centered data platform. Build production APIs, DataOps infrastructure, storage and compute integrations, ingestion paths, SDKs, and reference architectures. Establish data-modeling, schema evolution, lineage, observability, security, reliability, and lifecycle standards. Partner with autonomy, ML, testing, infrastructure, product, and customer teams while evaluating technologies and remaining hands-on with implementation, benchmarking, and debugging across cloud and customer-managed environments.

Conducts environmental reliability testing on electronic flight hardware, including thermal, humidity, vibration, shock, HALT, and HASS testing. Develops test plans, fixtures, procedures, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and reports. Operates and improves the environmental test lab, investigates failures, manages equipment and consumables, coordinates external laboratories, and advises stakeholders on test and design-for-reliability practices.
