TL;DR · Technical Lead, Containerized Effects

The Technical Lead - Containerized Effects joins the Expeditionary Systems team to define and shape the electrical architecture for AI Factories and deployable command and control centers. This role involves bridging systems and electrical engineering by translating high-level concepts into detailed electrical requirements, architectures, and functional modules. You will own the end-to-end architecture of air-transportable, modular systems designed for austere, contested environments. Key responsibilities include conducting architectural trades, designing for extreme temperatures and electromagnetic hardening, and leading prototyping and field testing. Required skills include experience with embedded systems hardware like MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs, as well as full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, PCBA design, and harnessing. The work focuses on building high-performance computing centers that process petabyte-scale data for tactical edge AI inference.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end electrical architecture for AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command centers.
  • Translate high-level Concepts of Operations into detailed electrical requirements, functional modules, and architectures.
  • Design air-transportable, modular systems optimized for rapid deployment in austere and contested environments.
  • Build infrastructure capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, limited power, and electromagnetic hardening.
  • Partner with defense customers to convert operational needs into technical architectures.
  • Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments.
  • Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide production designs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products.
  • Experience with full-cycle ECU/LRU electronics design, including PCBA design, harnessing design, and connector selection.
  • Familiarity with embedded systems hardware including MCUs, CPUs, and FPGAs.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and communicate across diverse engineering disciplines.
  • U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
  • Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time.
