About the Job

Requirements

  • A B.S. in Systems, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is required.
  • At least 10 years of engineering experience, including at least 5 years architecting autonomous, robotic, or uncrewed systems, is required.
  • Experience integrating third-party or OEM systems with in-house designs into a working, fielded product is required.
  • Experience extending or modernizing an existing autonomy stack is required.
  • A deep understanding of autonomy software stacks, sensors, networking, and embedded and distributed systems is required.
  • Experience writing and managing interface control documents and system requirements is required.
  • A strong grasp of communications and data links, middleware such as ROS 2 and DDS, and message standards is required.
  • A track record of making and defending architecture decisions with engineers, partners, and customers is required.
  • Access to ITAR/EAR-controlled data requires U.S. person status as defined by 22 CFR 120.62.
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time when needed is required.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the system-of-systems architecture for autonomous platforms, from vehicle to command-and-control, using existing baselines.
  • Assess the baseline architecture, identify gaps, and lead a prioritized upgrade roadmap.
  • Integrate third-party OEM systems with company-designed systems by evaluating partner products, defining integration approaches, and managing technical dependencies on outside vendors.
  • Specify and control interfaces for hardware, software, data, power, and communications across in-house and OEM components.
  • Lead the evolution of the autonomy software architecture, including perception, planning, navigation, and vehicle control, extending the existing stack to new capabilities and platforms.
  • Design open, modular standards that allow systems from different suppliers to connect and be swapped out.
  • Lead architecture trade studies and document key decisions, balancing performance, risk, cost, and schedule.
  • Derive and flow down system requirements and own the system architecture model, such as SysML/MBSE.
  • Define system-level approaches to safety, cybersecurity, resilience, and degraded-mode operation, including GNSS- or communications-denied operation.
  • Serve as technical point of contact with OEM partners and customers in design reviews and integration planning.
  • Guide GNC, software, hardware, and test teams so subsystem designs remain consistent with the overall architecture.

Desired Qualifications

  • An M.S. or Ph.D. in a relevant field is preferred.
  • Experience with defense open-architecture standards such as MOSA, UCI, or similar government reference architectures is preferred.
  • Eligibility to obtain a U.S. Secret or higher security clearance is preferred; an active clearance is not required.
  • Experience with MBSE tools such as Cameo or Capella is preferred.
  • Experience architecting multi-vehicle or collaborative autonomy and command-and-control systems is preferred.
  • A background in maritime autonomous systems is preferred.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks for defense systems such as RMF and NIST 800-171 is preferred.
  • Experience supporting government programs through design reviews such as SRR, PDR, and CDR is preferred.
