• Ability to exercise high ownership over complex systems (design, integration, test, delivery).
• Capacity to work holistically on complex robotic systems (design, implementation, operation, sustainment).
• Capacity to act as technical owner for complex subsystems (stakeholder engagement, requirements, roadmap, team coordination, design, implementation, sustainment, evolution).
• Capacity to learn, grow, and mentor junior team members effectively.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Good to Have

• Experience with design, implementation, and support of robotic and/or autonomous systems.
• Experience working within the defense, maritime, and/or aerospace domains.
