General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a world leader in proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft and tactical reconnaissance radars, as well as advanced high-resolution surveillance systems.
We have an outstanding opportunity for a Principal AI Battle Management Lead in Poway, CA. This role blends strategic leadership with hands-on technical development, guiding the architecture, prototyping, and deployment of AI-enabled battle management systems across GA-ASI's unmanned and collaborative combat aircraft portfolio. The Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence Solutions Software group is charted to develop and deploy end-to-end autonomous systems that enable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to execute autonomous missions.
The Principal AI Battle Management Lead will act as a technical authority, hands-on engineer, and customer-facing leader, shaping the next generation of autonomous mission execution and decision-support capabilities for the U.S. Department of War.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Set the technical vision and roadmap for AI-enabled battle management systems, aligning GA-ASI autonomy solutions with DoD Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) initiatives.
- Lead cross-functional engineering teams in developing and integrating multi-agent autonomy, real-time decision-support, and adaptive mission planning capabilities.
- Serve as principal investigator and program lead for advanced R&D efforts in AI/ML for battle management.
- Interface directly with senior government customers, DARPA, AFRL, and DIU to translate mission needs into executable autonomy architectures.
- Provide capture and proposal support, including shaping technical volumes, white papers, and executive-level presentations.
- Partner with industry and academic collaborators to bring cutting-edge AI research into operational prototypes.
- Establish best practices for DevSecOps, MLOps, and mission assurance in autonomy software development.
- Guide testing and evaluation strategies, including simulation, SIL/HIL, and flight demonstrations of AI-driven battle management capabilities.
- Mentor and grow technical talent across the autonomy and AI teams.
- Ensure compliance with ITAR, export control, cybersecurity, and DoD acquisition regulations
- Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in computer science, information systems or related discipline and progressive software development experience as follows; fifteen or more years of experience with a bachelors degree, thirteen or more years of experience with a masters degree, or ten or more years with a PhD. May substitute equivalent experience in lieu of education.
- Demonstrated track record leading development of battle management systems, C2 decision-support, or collaborative autonomy architectures in defense/aerospace.
- Expertise in reinforcement learning, multi-agent coordination, deep learning, probabilistic reasoning, and decision-theoretic planning.
- Strong customer-facing experience: ability to present to senior DoD stakeholders, influence CONOPS development, and shape technology roadmaps.
- Proven success in capture and proposal efforts, including technical volume authorship and program strategy.
- Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills to inspire teams and build trusted relationships with customers.
- Hands-on expertise in:
- Languages: Python, C++, Java, or equivalent
- Frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Ray RLlib, or equivalent
- Data/AI Tools: Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, JAX
- Simulation/Integration: NTGS, AFSIM, or similar
