• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable leading design reviews and justifying trade-offs.

AI Tools & Mindset

• Active daily user of AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or similar).
• Genuine drive to become an internal AI champion — introduce tools, identify new use cases, raise the bar for the whole team.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery across multiple workstreams (autonomous drone, turret control, and future platforms): planning, tracking, risk management, reporting.
• Primary technical liaison between software (CV/ML, ROS) and hardware/embedded teams — translating requirements, surfacing blockers, resolving misalignments.
• Attend polygon and field tests; translate results — including HIL/SIL outcomes — into structured engineering feedback and task descriptions.
• Work with the Lead Architect to research new approaches; prepare structured proposals for architectural decisions.
• Coordinate module integration (optical guidance, servo control, ROS layers) — interfaces, latency requirements, milestones.
• Maintain project documentation: requirements, test reports, decision logs, vendor deliverable tracking.
• Introduce and evangelize AI tooling across engineering workflows.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with autonomous drones, FPV, or UAS platforms.
• ArduPilot or Betaflight ecosystem experience.
