À propos

Lead the software architecture for Shield AI’s XBAT program across Mission, Vehicle, and Autonomy software domains. Build a safe, secure, and scalable architecture that enables high‑assurance, cyber‑relevant software development for an advanced airborne system and its ground stations, reporting to the XBAT Software Lead.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Define and evolve the system‑wide software architecture for XBAT, spanning airborne vehicle, ground station, and autonomy layers.
Translate safety and security goals into technical requirements, standards, and design patterns that guide engineers across multiple software teams.
Ensure architecture supports safety‑critical and cyber‑relevant workflows. This includes formalizing architecture decisions, traceability, and compliance pathways appropriate for advanced airborne systems.
Drive cross‑team alignment on APIs, data flows, fault handling, verification strategy, and risk management so mission, vehicle, and autonomy components integrate cleanly.
Partner with engineering leadership, system architects, and validation teams to balance innovation speed with rigorous assurance practices.
Set technical direction for long‑term scalability: modularity, maintainability, testability, and support for future capability growth or certification needs.
Mentor senior engineers and architects, raising the bar for design rigor, documentation quality, and architectural judgment across the organization.
Produce and maintain architecture artifacts: high‑level system diagrams, component interfaces, data models, risk analyses, and design rationales.
Lead technical reviews for major features, changes, or integration points; ensure alignment with architectural standards and safety/security constraints.
Define architecture governance: decision records, change control processes, quality gates, and collaboration flows among development, verification, and operations.
Collaborate with systems, hardware, and avionics teams to manage boundaries, timing, resource allocation, and failure modes that affect overall aircraft and mission performance.
Drive technology evaluation and roadmap: select or validate frameworks, middleware, and tooling that meet performance, assurance, and cyber‑hardening needs.
Support external or internal readiness evaluations: provide architectural evidence, participate in reviews, and help the program articulate compliance posture as requirements evolve.
Advocate for continuous improvement in architecture practice: metrics, architecture reviews, knowledge sharing, and onboarding for new team members.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Deep expertise in software architecture for complex, multi‑domain systems—ideally aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, or similarly safety‑critical fields.
Proven track record designing and delivering production software that must satisfy stringent safety, security, or mission assurance requirements.
Strong systems thinking: able to navigate tradeoffs across performance, latency, reliability, testability, and certification or compliance considerations.
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to convey architecture vision and rationale to engineers, program leads, and stakeholders.
Experience driving architecture adoption and discipline across multiple teams, not just authoring designs in isolation.
Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Familiarity with aerospace software assurance frameworks or standards that guide high‑assurance airborne software development.
Experience working on or integrating autonomy, mission planning, or AI‑enabled software into real‑world systems.
Strong understanding of cyber hardening and secure design practices for distributed or networked vehicle systems and ground infrastructure.
Prior leadership or mentor role with responsibility for building and scaling architecture practices and design culture in a fast‑moving engineering organization.
Experience dealing with constrained platforms: real‑time requirements, limited compute, or avionics‑style integration challenges.
Hands‑on experience in VTOL or other advanced aircraft programs, or in programs that require austere operations, long‑range operations, or resilient autonomy.
Exposure to end‑to‑end product lifecycle from concept through flight test or operational deployment.
Practical knowledge of modern software tooling that supports traceability, CI/CD, automated verification, static analysis, or high‑assurance pipelines.
Comfort working in a highly collaborative, fast‑paced environment where requirements can evolve quickly and architecture must adapt without losing rigor.
