TL;DR · Senior Software Systems Engineer

Senior Software Systems Engineer, Launched Effects joins the Tactical Recon & Strike team to develop aerial small drones and associated operational equipment. This role involves defining systems engineering strategies, managing requirements, and executing verification for products like Altius, Anvil, Bolt, and Ghost. The engineer will design and implement automated system-level integration tests on SITL, HITL, and hybrid testbeds, while ensuring compliance with NATO UAV and MIL-STD-882E standards. Key responsibilities include managing cross-team dependencies, resolving systemic execution issues, and translating ambiguous requirements into actionable plans. Required skills include proficiency in Python, C++, or Rust for analysis and simulation; experience with cloud infrastructure like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud; and expertise in large-scale data modeling using Palantir Foundry or Tableau. The role focuses on solving complex problems in safety-critical defense technology and autonomous systems.

What you'll do

  • Define systems engineering strategies to drive requirements and verification for core drone products.
  • Design and implement automated system-level integration tests across SITL, HITL, and hybrid testbeds.
  • Develop testing strategies for both hardware and software requirements using various modalities.
  • Execute field test events ranging from in-lab simulations to full hardware-in-the-loop demonstrations.
  • Ensure product compliance with industry standards such as NATO UAV and MIL-STD-882E.
  • Manage cross-team projects by identifying, resolving, and escalating critical dependencies.
  • Translate ambiguous high-level problems into actionable engineering processes and detailed verification plans.
  • Propose technical alternatives at the architectural level to ensure alignment with the technical roadmap.

What we're looking for

  • Degree in Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years experience with programming languages such as Python, C++, or Rust for analysis and simulation.
  • Experience in the safety-critical industry with software development standards, hazard analysis, and requirements-driven V&V strategies.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for software deployment and scalability.
  • Proficiency in large-scale data modeling, analysis, and visualization using tools such as Palantir Foundry, Tableau, or AFSIM.
  • Skilled in Statistics and AI/ML.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
  • Experience with sensor modeling, simulation, and analysis to support system design (preferred); active clearance status (preferred).
