Eligible from: Unclear

Job Description

This position is ideal for an individual who thrives on solving complex integration challenges that span hardware, software, and systems engineering. A successful candidate will be skilled at deploying autonomy solutions onto unmanned platforms, preparing systems for flight, and troubleshooting mission-critical issues in both lab and field environments. The role is highly dynamic, requiring hands-on experience, strong systems thinking, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, real-world test conditions.

Responsibilities

What you'll do:

System Integration & Deployment — Integrate autonomy software onto unmanned aircraft systems, ensuring seamless operation across onboard compute, sensors, and control interfaces.

Pre-flight Preparation — Own the build, configuration, and validation process for flight-ready systems; coordinate hardware/software compatibility and mission readiness.

On-site Flight Test Support — Travel to test sites and support live flight operations, including safety checks, system bring-up, and troubleshooting under time-critical constraints.

Hardware/Software Debugging — Diagnose and resolve integration issues across complex autonomy software stacks and embedded systems in lab and field environments.

Flight Data Capture & Analysis — Manage data collection during missions and post-test analysis, working with autonomy engineers to refine behaviors and identify improvements.

Collaboration Across Teams — Work closely with autonomy, GNC, systems, and test teams to ensure mission-critical functionality is delivered on time and validated thoroughly.

Continuous Improvement — Build tools and processes to improve integration timelines, flight test reliability, and team efficiency across deployment cycles.

Support Certification and Compliance — Assist with documentation and system-level validation required for certification, airworthiness, and compliance in defense-relevant environments.

Travel Requirement – Members of this team typically travel around 30-40% of the year (to different office locations, customer sites, and flight integration events).

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and/or similar degree, or equivalent practical experience

Typically requires a minimum of 7 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 5 years and a Master’s degree; or 4 years with a PhD; or equivalent work experience.

Proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and Python, and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS)

Proficiency in Linux-based development and experience working with embedded systems, shell scripting, and system diagnostics.

Knowledge of sensor integration, sensor fusion, and middleware frameworks (e.g., ROS, DDS).

Hands-on experience supporting flight demos or live exercises.

Experience with simulation tools and environments (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS) for testing and validation.

Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.

Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

Direct experience supporting unmanned aerial systems or similar flight test campaigns.

Familiarity with autonomy stacks, flight control systems, or GNC pipelines.

Competence in sensor integration, electronics debugging, or avionics bring-up.

Proficiency in developing automation tools for system testing, logging, and data parsing.

Comfortable interfacing with government stakeholders during field events or technical reviews.

Experience with UCI and OMS Standards.
