  • Familiarity with relevant autonomy frameworks, simulation environments, and flight test support for autonomous systems
  • Demonstrated ability to work across the full development lifecycle — concept through prototype — in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Experience or strong aptitude for evaluating technical feasibility of early-stage concepts, not just executing against defined requirements
  • Comfort operating as a generalist when needed — willingness and ability to contribute outside your core focus area in support of program needs
