Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Manage schedules, budgets, logistics, and requirements for Forward Deployed Engineering projects; coordinate field operations, vendor contracts, BOMs, and cross-functional stakeholders; run design reviews, track risks and resource constraints, and improve operational processes to scale international deployments.

Design user-centered interfaces and end-to-end experiences for autonomous surface vessels. Lead discovery, ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation while collaborating with engineering, operations, and DoD stakeholders. Drive product and design strategy, craft high-quality visual and interaction design, communicate design rationale, and balance short-term and long-term product goals within a fast-paced environment.

Lead design, analysis, and development of autonomous surface vessel hulls, structures, and systems; perform stability, resistance, propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering analyses; support CAD modeling, testing (model and at-sea), autonomous system integration, design reviews, and technical reporting.

Develop, deploy, and debug autonomy, networking, and mission software for autonomous surface vessels. Integrate sensors and hardware, analyze field data to improve performance, troubleshoot systems during deployments, and work with operators to adapt systems to mission needs.

Design, develop, test, and deploy software for autonomous surface vessels. Implement perception, navigation, path-planning, control, and sensor-fusion algorithms. Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams, ensure performance and DoD compliance, and maintain software through the full development lifecycle.

Lead R&D for navigation and positioning on autonomous vessels: evaluate and benchmark GNSS/INS/IMU/LiDAR/radar systems, design integration architectures, prototype electrical configurations, run lab and sea trials, perform trade studies, author technical reports, mentor junior engineers, and support system qualification and IP generation.

Design, build, and validate structural and fluid systems for autonomous surface vessels. Develop test stands and fabrication drawings, supervise integration and instrumentation, execute field-based mechanical and structural tests, collaborate with naval architects and autonomy teams, and maintain test records for DoD certification.

Design, develop, and implement perception systems for autonomous surface vessels: build sensing and navigation algorithms, create metrics for performance evaluation, and work with large datasets for model training and evaluation.

Lead integration, deployment, and optimization of maritime autonomy systems. Perform field testing, debug cross-disciplinary issues, analyze mission data, architect autonomy capabilities, mentor teams, and author deployment protocols to ensure reliable, scalable autonomous vessel operations.

Design, develop, and maintain web-based applications for autonomous surface vessels using JavaScript/TypeScript and React. Build server-side components with Node.js/Express, integrate third-party APIs, optimize performance/security, and collaborate with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment.
