ML/AI Founding Engineer
Navi captures everything a pilot sees and hears and turns it into automated debrief intelligence. You're building the AI that makes sense of it all — the models that listen to cockpit audio, identify maneuvers, attribute instructor vs. student behavior, and generate debrief reports that match what a seasoned CFI would catch.
About the role
This is a founding AI/ML role. You'll own the intelligence layer that sits at the core of everything Navi does — from audio diarization and speech recognition to maneuver detection, safety event classification, and automated debrief generation. The data is messy, multimodal, and high-stakes. Cockpit audio is mono with overlapping speakers. Avionics telemetry arrives in dozens of formats. ATC comms bleed into crew conversation. Your job is to make machines understand all of it — and get it right, because the output goes directly to pilots, instructors, and military operators.
Navi is live at Embry-Riddle, Purdue, UND, Sling Pilot Academy, and the United States Air Force. Your models are already in production. This isn't research — it's AI that flies.
What you'll do
