Mission Software Lead

About the Role

North Vector Dynamics is building the mission software that enables the CM-70 interceptor to operate as part of a networked, multi-sensor air defence system. We are seeking a Mission Software Lead to own this function from the ground up: command and control, sensor and effector integration, and the interfaces that let CM-70 and its launch platforms interoperate with third-party sensors and systems, including standards such as SAPIENT. This is a senior software role at NVD and the successful candidate will be responsible for growing the mission software team and establishing the architecture, standards, and practices that will scale with the company. The successful candidate will work closely with the Mission Systems Lead and the broader engineering organization to ensure mission software keeps pace with NVD’s growing family of launch architectures.

• Lead the design and development of command and control (C2) software, sensor and effector integration layers, and engagement sequencing logic.

• Build and lead the mission software team, managing software engineers working across command and control, integration, and mission planning.
