** Standard

Job Description *
* Responsible for developing, integrating, and deploying autonomy and artificial intelligence algorithms for mission systems, supporting the technology development life cycle from requirements generation through development, integration, and testing, as well as research in some organizations.

Develops, integrates, and implements algorithms to enable perception, motion/mission planning, controls, etc. functionality in LM products and platforms;
Translates requirements and applies requirements to development code, integrating autonomy, AI or machine learning algorithms to LM products and platforms;
Determines software methods to best acquire and execute knowledge;
Implements algorithms into software to train systems to recognize patterns and perform specific functions;
Responsible for various phases of developing and maintaining autonomy software from requirements generation, software design and development to integration, testing, troubleshooting and debugging, and implementation;
Review test outcomes, conducts troubleshooting, and works to debug issues;
Develops human-machine interface scenarios, breaking missions into tasks;
Documents interface requirements and implements human-machine interfaces

You will be responsible for advancing AI‑driven engineering automation across the defense acquisition lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

+ Define and own the product roadmap, translating sustainment and design engineer needs into a defensible software architecture. Govern the core data ontology and direct the AI‑powered software development effort. Lead research and development of machine‑learning, knowledge‑representation, and deep‑learning models that automate the creation of engineering and sustainment work products. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams- software, ontology, simulation, UI/UX, test, and external partners-to ensure seamless integration and validation.

Deliver prototypes through operational release, optimizing performance, security, and compliance for defense and commercial customers. Serves as the senior algorithm and AI research expert with current knowledge of modern machine learning research and contributes to the inception of ideas that drive development cycles from research, through prototype and test, for a major project or a component of a major project.
