UAS Systems Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a UAS Systems Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of air systems, tactical networks, edge compute, and AI-driven data platforms. You will architect and integrate UAS systems into tactical networks and modern data-layer ecosystems. You will enable military units to move from disconnected sensor feeds to integrated operational awareness by bridging UAS platforms with TAK ecosystems and AI-enabled platforms like Maven Smart Systems.

You will ensure sensor data from UAS platforms flows securely from the edge to enterprise environments, enabling real-time targeting, ISR fusion, and multi-domain decision advantage. You will know how to design edge-to-enterprise data pipelines, and you will have the ability to translate operational targeting workflows into technical data architectures.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• 2+ years of experience in systems engineering, tactical networks, and UAS integration

• Experience supporting military exercises or operational deployments

• Experience integrating UAS feeds into TAK server ecosystems and tactical COP environments

• Knowledge of API integration and data pipeline concepts

• Knowledge of edge computing platforms and containerized deployments

• Knowledge of IP networking, routing, switching, VPNs, and secure enclaves

• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance

• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have:

• Experience designing end-to-end UAS architectures, including air vehicle, payloads, data links, GCS, and edge nodes

• Experience integrating ISR systems or FMV into operational networks

• Experience engineering secure RF, SATCOM, MANET, and LTE/5G transport solutions

• Experience architecting resilient communications for contested, degraded, and operationally limited (CDO) environments

• Experience integrating full-motion video (FMV), telemetry, and sensor metadata into TAK environments

• Experience designing data transformation pipelines to move UAS ISR data into enterprise AI systems

• Experience building API-based integrations between tactical systems and modern data platforms
