Own the architecture of the vehicle software system and drive it toward a modular design: clean, versioned interfaces across onboard software, GNC and state estimation, sensing, vehicle management, and mission autonomy, with swappable sensor and payload modules, so subsystems evolve independently and software carries across vehicle variants and future scaling. You'll work across GNC, vehicle management (faults), onboard comms, hardware, sensing, software, and field operations, spend time in the loop with real vehicles, and champion practical AI adoption so the team spends its time on the hard autonomy problems.
