Engineer II, Future Concepts

About the role

The Future Concepts team shapes next-generation technical concepts and solutions for Hivemind applications across multiple domains. Working with Product, Engineering, Architecture and customer-facing teams, Future Concepts Engineers turn emerging technologies, operational needs and novel ideas into detailed concepts and models. This role drives innovation by exploring new applications for Hivemind and using data-driven analysis to assess alternatives, and contributes to white papers, proposals and technical presentations that shape the Hivemind roadmap.

Key responsibilities

• Develop technology-driven future concepts for Hivemind applications across air, space, land and maritime domains.
• Translate customer needs, operational challenges and technology trends into credible concepts and mission-oriented use cases for autonomous systems.
• Produce concept studies, analytical reports, white papers, RFIs, proposals and other technical artifacts.
• Use quantitative programming or analysis tools to organize data, build models and communicate results.
• Deliver technical briefings to internal and external audiences, adapting complex material for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Architecture and Go-To-Market teams to align concepts with roadmaps and early-stage product development.
• Monitor aerospace, defense, autonomy, robotics and related technologies for new opportunities and challenges.
• Travel to customer sites to support engagements, gather insights and present concepts and analysis.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, operations research, data science or another relevant quantitative field.
• 2+ years of experience in engineering, technical analysis, concept development, modeling and simulation, product management or a related area.
• Ability to explain complex material clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, written and verbally.
• Familiarity with aerospace, autonomy, robotics or defense systems.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a USG security clearance.

Required skills

• Experience with at least one quantitative programming, modeling or analysis tool such as Python, MATLAB or C++.
• Qualitative and quantitative analysis to support technical decision-making.
• Preferred: trade studies, modeling and simulation, sensitivity analysis, data visualization, customer briefings, product roadmaps, white papers and proposals, and prior military or defense-industry experience.
