Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead a multidisciplinary engineering team across firmware, software, electrical, and mechanical domains. Provide technical direction on architecture, system integration, testing, and validation for an autonomous defense turret. Manage execution from concept through deployment, establish engineering processes and documentation, and collaborate with product, operations, and leadership to deliver mission-critical, military-grade systems on schedule.

Design and develop schematics and PCBs, perform electrical simulations and testing (signal integrity, thermal, EMC), develop real-time embedded software in C++/Python, integrate electromechanical systems, validate designs to military standards, and optimize performance and power for autonomous turret robotics systems.

Design, implement, and validate motor and motion control systems for real-time autonomous platforms. Build simulation and test tools, integrate controls with embedded hardware and vision systems, tune and field-test control algorithms, document strategies, and improve system performance using control theory and state estimation.

Design, build, and operate CV/ML infrastructure: manage 130+ GPU bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with AWS burst, own CI/CD for ML, enable model/versioning, experiment tracking, testing, performance analysis, and optimize models for edge deployment (Jetson).

Design and develop schematics and PCBs, implement real-time embedded software (C++/Python), run simulations (signal integrity, thermal, EMC), integrate electromechanical systems, test and validate hardware/software to military standards, and optimize performance and power.

Design, implement, and optimize real-time computer vision and machine learning models for an autonomous anti-drone turret. Integrate algorithms with embedded hardware, collaborate with electrical engineers, and test/validate performance across environments while hardening prototypes into military-grade systems.

Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and embedded Linux configurations for NVIDIA Jetson platforms. Integrate and optimize drivers for PCIe, FPGA, Ethernet, USB, and MIPI cameras; debug low-level system issues; collaborate with hardware and computer vision teams; and document driver implementations and hardware interfaces.

Ensure incoming materials and components meet company quality standards by auditing and qualifying suppliers, driving APQP/PPAP, leading RCCA for supplier defects, reporting supplier performance (DPMO/COPQ), reviewing ECO impacts, and providing on-site technical support to resolve production-critical supply issues.

Lead mechanical design for a military-grade autonomous turret: perform FEA, modal, vibration and thermal simulations; ensure MIL-STD-810 compliance; integrate electromechanical components; drive structural testing, prototyping, and DFM/DFR for reliable, manufacturable designs.

Develop and optimize real-time Unreal Engine simulations and rendering for autonomous defense systems; implement high-performance C++ code, integrate AirSim and control/vision data, debug and profile systems, and mentor junior engineers.
