PeopleTec, Inc. is currently seeking an Integration Architect/Engineer to support our Huntsville, AL location.
The Integration Architect/Engineers role is to plan, coordinate, architect, evaluate and test the integration and interoperability of collaborating software intensive subsystems. This includes integration of software components or agents, within a computing environment as well as the supporting hardware. The position will require a strong working knowledge of software architecture, software integration, IP networking, as well as software and systems test. The ideal candidate will have experience integrating and testing artificial intelligence (AI) and/or autonomy solutions. The ideal candidate will have experience working with avionics, aviation data buses, unmanned systems, and robotics with a focus on software. This position will be an individual contributor supporting software and systems integration and evaluation in a laboratory and live flight test environments.
Typical duties of the successful candidate include:
Plan, coordinate, conduct integration, testing, and evaluation for autonomous computing systems applicable to the aviation vehicle domain. Evaluate and assess software architecture and design against open architecture and autonomous systems objectives and requirements; evaluating the applicability and effectiveness of a set of integrated artificial intelligence-enabled subsystems against mission goals when integrated into a distributed, multi-agent computing environment. Supports the architecture and design of custom software modules and components to bridge capability and performance gaps. Optimizes autonomy algorithms for a variety of conditions and environments. Performs systems and software architecture modeling, simulation, and analysis within the applicable toolsets. Participates with multidisciplinary engineering teams to provide hands-on support for client-directed on-site and off-site integration and testing needs both at the client locations and other various test locations within the continental United States. Collaborates with other Government offices, industry, and engineering teams to evaluate methods to improve air vehicle autonomy behaviors using the Government managed and/or Industry autonomy software frameworks. Works with the engineering and operations team members to plan, analyze, and integrate current and emerging operational, system, sensor, and other subsystem capabilities to achieve desired warfighting mission effects in an end-to-end system. Reduces and consolidates collected test result data into well-organized and structured formats for presentation to management and transference to the engineering team for further analysis and interpretation. Generates test reports and white papers. Maintain regular communications with the program technical lead, various cross-domain engineering teams, and industry solution providers to establish strong working relationships and facilitate an agile approach to evolving customer needs. Duties Include:
Evaluate and assess software architecture and design against open architecture and autonomous systems objectives and requirements Evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of a set of integrated artificial intelligence-enabled subsystems against mission goals when integrated into a distributed, multi-agent computing environment Support the design of custom software modules and components to bridge capability and performance gaps Optimize autonomy algorithms for a variety of conditions and environments Maintain regular communications with the program technical lead, various cross-domain engineering teams, and industry solution providers to establish strong working relationships and facilitate an agile approach to evolving customer needs Inspect and provide support to integrate industry and Government developed software solutions into modeling and simulation environments Perform routine systems and software modeling, simulation, and analysis Participate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to provide hands-on support for client-directed on-site and off-site integration and testing needs both at the client locations and other various test locations within the continental United States Evaluate the application of open systems aligned frameworks and tools such as the Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability (VICTORY), Future Airborne Capabilities Environment (FACE), Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST), and Sensors Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Evaluate the application of autonomy software frameworks, interoperability profiles, middleware, and tools such as the Robot Operating System Military (ROS-M) ecosystem, the Robotic Technology Kernel (RTK) software library, the UAS Interoperability Profile (IOP), STANAG 4586, Unmanned Systems Control Segment (UCS), the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) open architecture, the UGV Interoperability Profile (IOP) extension to JAUS, the Autonomous Ground Vehicle Reference Architecture (AGVRA), and others as applicable Collaborate with other Government offices, industry, and the engineering teams to evaluate methods to improve air vehicle autonomy behaviors using the Government managed and/or Industry autonomy software frameworks. Develop test and demonstration plans to exercise and improve air vehicle autonomy and collaborative teaming algorithms Work with the engineering and operations team members to plan, analyze, and integrate current and emerging operational, system, sensor, and other subsystem capabilities to achieve desired warfighting mission effects in an end-to-end system. Deploy autonomy software principles to support the prototyping, integration, and evaluation of complex computing systems operating on a heterogeneous team of manned and unmanned aviation platforms Assist with translating test and demonstration observations and records of measurable results from integration, test, and demonstration events Reduce and consolidate collected autonomy test result data into well-organized and structured formats for presentation to management and transference to the engineering team for further analysis and interpretation Assist in evaluating and determining user needs for the maintenance of models, software, and subsystems Interface with the leadership, other engineers within the team, other Government research laboratories, as well as industry vendors, including large defense contractors and smaller research focused commercial entities.
