Design, implement, and integrate advanced autonomy capabilities across unmanned and autonomous platforms for national defense.
Requirements
Demonstrated experience in integrating autonomy software into physical platforms (air, ground, maritime (surface or subsurface), or space).
Hands-on experience building DevSecOps environments for complex software systems, preferably in autonomy or mission-critical applications.
Experience deploying and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in classified or secure environments.
Familiarity with autonomy testing and integration environments, including SIL/HIL and real-world test campaigns.
Strong software engineering background with experience in building and deploying full-stack autonomy solutions.
Experience with autonomy technologies such as AI/ML, perception, planning, control systems, and sensor fusion.
Understanding of DevSecOps principles and experience implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, or ArgoCD.
Responsibilities
Contribute to the design, build, and deployment of a robust Autonomy DevSecOps environment to support continuous development, testing, security scanning, and deployment of autonomy software across multiple programs, platforms, and security domains.
Work as part of a multi-discipline engineering team to develop, integrate, and test full-stack autonomy capabilities—including perception, decision-making, control, and user interface layers.
Establish automation pipelines to support AI/ML model training, validation, and deployment (MLOps), ensuring secure and efficient delivery to edge platforms.
Collaborate with Systems Engineering and SI&T teams to align sprint tasks and deliverables with system-level milestones and integration priorities.
Assist in coordinating software development and integration across autonomy, sensor fusion, and mission planning components, including subcontractors and mission partners.
Participate in system-level test events, including lab-based testing (SIL, HIL), and field/operational demonstrations.
Travel independently to customer and test sites to support field integration, platform validation, and mission demonstrations.
Other
Ability to obtain a US TS/SCI Security Clearance which requires US Citizenship
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical content to both engineering and non-technical audiences.
Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, program management, and customer teams.
