About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Maritime Autonomous Systems Engineer to join our team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As a key member of our team, you will play a critical role in prototyping and adopting new maritime robotics technologies for uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs), and other robotic vehicles.

Key Responsibilities
  • Apply Systems Engineering best practices to autonomy, AI, and uncrewed vehicles, ranging from early prototypes to formal acquisition by the Navy and other sponsors.
  • Ensure successful system development through mission decomposition and analysis, requirements definition, architecture development, and design trades.
  • Design, coordinate, and execute testing of autonomous systems through software-in-the-loop Modeling and Simulation and in-water test.
  • Use Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) throughout system development and implementation.
  • Lead technical teams at APL who are prototyping software and hardware for maritime uncrewed systems. Develop and lead design reviews and coordinate development of technical reports and briefings.
  • Collaborate with US Navy end users to understand their missions, needed features, and establish a basis of confidence in maritime autonomous systems.
  • Work closely with partners in other research labs and industry to demonstrate uncrewed maritime vehicle capabilities.
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of relevant Systems Engineering experience and bachelors in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Naval Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field.
  • Experience developing and integrating uncrewed vehicles, autonomy software, and/or maritime systems.
  • Experience developing requirements, performing trade studies, managing system integration, and guiding test and evaluation.
  • Experience working with DOD or other government sponsors.
  • Familiarity with SysML and experience in developing MBSE models applied to these systems.
  • Possess outstanding organization and planning skills, social skills, and outstanding written and oral communications skills.
  • Willing and able to travel up to 10% of the time.
  • Able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Experience developing, integrating, and testing software architectures or software test pipelines, leading scrums or software teams, and/or implementing Agile software acquisition and DevSecOps.
  • Applied Systems Engineering and Test & Evaluation skills for the prototyping of US Navy USV, UUVs, or other US Navy uncrewed systems.
