Develop, fine-tune, train, and optimize computer vision and machine learning algorithms. Manage experiments, data, testing, validation, and reproducibility using MLOps tools. Research emerging ML techniques, analyze field-test data, and transition algorithms into production across cloud, on-premises, and embedded environments. Collaborate with engineers and national security customers to deliver mission-critical AI and natural language processing capabilities.

Provides part-time optical test and controls engineering support for a lunar camera environmental test campaign. Responsibilities include operating optical instrumentation and Linux-based camera-control software, developing test routines, executing and documenting benchtop and environmental tests, monitoring data and anomalies, supporting optical alignment and verification, and coordinating with multidisciplinary engineers. The role is remote with periodic on-site work in Massachusetts and Connecticut, approximately 25% travel, and a six-month independent contractor engagement.

Leads systems engineering for flight management avionics, including software requirements definition, hardware and software integration, deployment, troubleshooting, laboratory test-bench integration, and verification and validation. Provides technical leadership for complex engineering projects and ensures compliance with aviation certification, security, and systems engineering standards. Requires extensive Flight Management or Flight Guidance experience and collaboration with software and systems engineering teams.

Leads new-business development across U.S. defense and maritime markets. Identifies and shapes opportunities, builds senior customer and industry relationships, develops capture and pursuit strategies, supports bids, and converts long-cycle opportunities into funded programs. Partners with engineering, operations, finance, and executives to validate technical fit, capacity, pricing, risks, and schedules. Maintains CRM pipeline data, supports forecasts, develops teaming relationships, and transitions awarded opportunities to account or program owners.

Leads supplier quality for high-reliability printed wiring boards by conducting audits, capability assessments, source inspections, first article inspections, and process evaluations. Analyzes supplier metrics and defects, drives root-cause and corrective-action efforts, reviews PPAP and FAI submissions, and leads continuous improvement toward zero defects. Partners with quality, category management, and supply chain teams while providing technical guidance on PWB standards, manufacturing processes, testing, and acceptance requirements. The remote role requires approximately 50% travel to suppliers across the country.

Design, build, maintain, and operate hypersonic propulsion test infrastructure and test cells. Develop high-pressure fluid and fuel control systems, combustion devices, sensors, and controls; collaborate on experiments; analyze propulsion performance data; and design scramjet and ramjet components. The role requires hands-on testing, mechanical and fluid-system design, data acquisition, and safe operation of high-energy tests, with up to 10% travel.

Lead Vantor’s sales and business development with the U.S. Space Force operational force. Own account strategy, pipeline, capture, forecasting, senior customer relationships, industry partnerships, and new-business pursuits. Drive adoption of spatial intelligence products as programs of record, navigate non-traditional acquisition pathways, influence requirements and product roadmaps, and lead pursuits exceeding $5 million. The role requires extensive USSF acquisition and technology-sales experience, an active TS clearance, and travel up to 50%.

Own and evolve a portable data platform infrastructure across commercial cloud, government cloud, and on-premises environments. Responsibilities include infrastructure as code, security and compliance, observability, SLOs, incident response, capacity planning, backups, upgrades, deployment tooling, and runbooks. The role will establish SRE practices, support regulated customer deployments, collaborate with distributed systems engineers, and mentor a future SRE hire.

Provide technical leadership for structural and/or thermal-fluids analysis of aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. Perform FEA, fatigue, fracture, thermal-stress, CFD, and 1D fluid modeling; validate models against test data; support loads development, anomaly investigations, and nonconforming hardware disposition. Collaborate with design, systems, manufacturing, and test teams while improving analysis methods, mentoring engineers, and supporting safety-critical aerospace systems.
