As the Mission Autonomy Lead on the Maneuver Dominance team, you will own the autonomy software stack for a maritime autonomous vehicle. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of mission execution, including system design, planning, perception, debriefing, and developing the underlying software infrastructure such as CI/CD and simulation environments. The role involves defining how vehicles navigate and learn across long ranges of open ocean while managing requirements through MBSE artifacts. To succeed, you must possess expertise in C++, Python, Linux-based real-time operating systems, and tools like Git or Jenkins. You will also leverage knowledge of ROS/ROS2, computer vision, and modular architecture standards like MOSA to solve complex problems involving autonomous aviation operations in contested environments. This role requires a blend of technical leadership and experience with high-assurance software for mission-critical maritime applications.
