Top Engineering Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead enterprise systems and data architecture across business domains, define target-state architectures and integration patterns, rationalize shadow IT, guide sensitive-data placement in regulated multi-environment contexts, support major strategic programs, establish architecture governance and review practices, and coach engineering teams to raise architectural maturity.

Lead operational reliability and platform enablement for Databricks: build monitoring, CI/CD, deployment standards, compute and job policies, observability, runbooks, and governance to support secure, cost-aware, production data workloads across regulated environments. Mentor engineers and align platform with cloud/infrastructure and compliance requirements.

Serve as the end-to-end Test Director for integrating, verifying, and flight testing Hivemind autonomy on small UAS. Own test readiness and execution, plan and run fly-fix-fly campaigns, set test strategy and success criteria, lead cross-functional teams, manage risk and safety-of-flight, define test infrastructure (SIL/HIL/simulation), approve procedures, document results, and report to leadership and customers.

Deploy and integrate Shield AIs Hivemind autonomy software with customers worldwide. Provide on-site technical support, training, debugging, and documentation. Collaborate with sales and product engineering to support pre- and post-sales activities and improve autonomy products.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV. Perform CAD modeling, hand calculations, limited FEA, generate drawings and documentation, support validation and testing, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and iterate hardware through manufacturing and flight tests.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV platform from concept through production. Create CAD models and drawings, perform hand calculations and basic FEA, collaborate with cross-functional teams for system integration, support structural testing and validation, resolve manufacturing and flight-test issues, and produce engineering documentation in compliance with aerospace standards.

Design, develop, and field high-performance Ground Control Station and C2 software using C++/Qt/QML and QGroundControl. Lead architecture and technical direction, mentor engineers, define APIs/ICDs, debug integration/latency issues, support field tests, implement post-mission debrief tools, and ensure interoperability with C2 standards.

Perform finite element modeling and structural analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV airframes; validate FEA with hand calculations and test data; develop test plans, define load cases and material properties, optimize structures for weight and strength, and document technical recommendations.

Lead and grow a team of autonomy engineers to stand up autonomy on novel platforms (space, maritime, rotorcraft), own delivery from design through fielding, write and integrate latency-sensitive autonomy code, coordinate with platform and cross-functional teams, support live tests and deployments, and evolve R&D efforts into longer-term programs.

Lead and grow a small autonomy engineering team to design, integrate, validate, and field autonomy software for launched effects. Own delivery, hiring, mentoring, technical direction, ICDs, pre-deployment validation, live test support, hardware/software debugging, and cross-team collaboration for multi-agent and air-gapped fleet deployments.
