Technical Contribution

Work as a practising engineer across robotics, systems integration, design and fabrication, and test and evaluation

Client & Stakeholder Relationships

Serve as the primary engineering point of contact for client companies, SMEs, and end users, scoping technical work and setting realistic expectations for what the site, lab, and team can deliver in a cycle
Work with challenge sponsors and end users to define and validate challenge statements, and report candidate solutions and outcomes back to them
Communicate program status, technical risk, trade-offs, and resourcing needs to senior leadership, funding partners, and government clients
Contribute to proposals, statements of work, and cost and effort estimates

Produce program status reports, technical summaries, and funder reporting on a defined cadence, with accurate supporting evidence
