True Anomaly seeks to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability, specifically by developing a next-generation missile defense program.
Requirements
- Proven track record architecting real-time command-and-control (C2) or fire control systems for defense, aerospace, or comparable domains.
- Deep expertise in distributed systems, autonomy, and real-time decision-making architectures.
- Experience with DoD software standards, cybersecurity frameworks (RMF, Zero Trust), and mission assurance processes.
- Strong knowledge of networking, middleware, and high-availability architectures for space and ground systems.
- Demonstrated success leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams in high-stakes environments.
- Experience with missile defense systems, battle management systems, or space-based C2 architectures.
- Hands-on knowledge of AI/ML-enabled autonomy, simulation frameworks, and digital twin architectures.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the end-to-end software architecture for the Common Ground Element and Fire Control Element, spanning mission planning, engagement management, decision logic, and interceptor command/telemetry.
- Develop and enforce architectural principles for scalability, resiliency, security, and autonomy across the CGE–FCE ecosystem.
- Architect modular frameworks that enable multi-vendor integration and rapid evolution of algorithms, ensuring vendor-agnostic interfaces.
- Lead the technical baseline for real-time fire control software, including adaptive weapon–target pairing, in-flight target updates, and distributed kill chain execution.
- Direct the design and implementation of data pipelines, including telemetry ingestion, decision-making algorithms, and mission visualization.
- Oversee cybersecurity architecture aligned with Risk Management Framework (RMF) and mission assurance standards.
- Drive integration of simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and operational prototypes to validate software against high-fidelity raid scenarios.
Other
- Act as the senior technical authority across software teams, guiding principal engineers and system integrators.
- Collaborate with systems engineering, mission operations, and hardware development teams to ensure a unified engineering baseline.
- Interface directly with government stakeholders, industry partners, and subcontractors to align technical decisions with mission objectives.
- Mentor engineering staff, cultivating a culture of rigor, innovation, and accountability.
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
