Set the standard for hardware produced for clients, and make and defend decisions on technical approach, tooling, and build-versus-buy

Technical Contribution

Work as a practising engineer across robotics, systems integration, design and fabrication, and test and evaluation
Translate sponsor problem statements into technical requirements, development scope, and evaluation criteria, and assess the merit and feasibility of candidate solutions
Assess client technology and maturity, identify gaps against program requirements, and define the engineering, prototyping, or evaluation work needed to close them
Define technical approaches for trials across robotics, sensing, uncrewed, and agricultural platforms, including measurement objectives, validity criteria, and reference data
Perform hands-on work including system-of-systems integration, sensor and payload onboarding, IP networking, scripting, test design, data analysis, and fault diagnosis
Resolve escalated technical issues across laboratory, fabrication, and field environments

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
Represent Area X.O professionally at demonstrations, site visits, industry events, and stakeholder meetings

Reporting & Data

Define, track, and report the performance indicators committed under each program, including participation, milestone completion, technology advancement, and client-reported outcomes
Produce program status reports, technical summaries, and funder reporting on a defined cadence, with accurate supporting evidence
Maintain records of client engagements, engineering effort, test results, and deliverables sufficient to withstand audit and claim review
Use program data to identify trends, forecast risk, and inform decisions on scope, resourcing, and future program design
