*About the role* We are building autonomy software for unmanned systems for use with the Department of War. Our software engineers are moving autonomy and flight software from the lab to the aircraft, and we need someone who can keep that engineering on schedule between flights and make sure the flight test itself proves what the engineers set out to prove. This is a hands-on management role, not a program office seat. You will spend most of your hours with the engineering team keeping work on track, and you will be at the field on flight days as the person who owns the link between the software intent and what actually gets flown. *What you will do* * Own the engineering schedule across 2-3 active projects: track milestones, surface slips early, and clear blockers. * Assess and document Technology Readiness Level for each subsystem, define the evidence needed to advance a TRL, and tie flight test objectives to those gates. * Work with the software engineers before each test to...
