Responsibilities

• Own customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software and hardware roadmap that spans across many teams across the company.
• Design and build robust, MOSA-compliant systems (HTTP, gRPC) and data models that allow plug-and-play integration of first and third party sensors, payloads, and legacy defense platforms.
• Develop and execute the frontend and backend systems, in partnership with other software teams across the company, that power our Single Pane of Glass orchestration engine, enabling a single operator to manage multi-domain, multi-vehicle operations.
• Deploy to the edge, working closely with end-user customers and robots, to push capabilities to the maritime hardware operating in highly constrained, communications denied environments.
• Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time.
• Drive architecture selection and design for robotic systems, including hardware selection, compute, storage and network architecture, service orchestration and other software platform concerns that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Contribute to the design and development of a company wide roadmap for software inputs to autonomous systems.
• Lead teams that develop software that runs on-and-off-platform, using a variety of technologies.
• Act as a subject matter expert for software engineering, representing software equities in a multi-stakeholder environment including engineering, business and sales leadership.
• Drive the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of software, including full lifecycle testing.
• Drive the creation of test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop.
• Treat the ocean as validation, building and scaling high-fidelity Software-in-the-Loop (SITL/SIL) environments that test our systems continuously before they’re validated in the water.
• Lead teams of multi-disciplinary engineers, including as a mentor for Senior Software Engineers from differing backgrounds.
• Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
