About The Role

Mission Control is a tailored collection of UIs for our customers to interact with our autonomy in Defense. We and our users (warfighters, program managers, test engineers) need a strong user interface through which to test, understand, and operate our autonomy in simulation and in the field. This collection of UIs will provide multi‑agent workflows around mission planning, monitoring, and debrief.

The role is a “startup within a startup,” moving with day‑long iteration cycles and supplying much‑needed autonomy tooling to the Defense industry. Each engineer on Mission Control works on building a highly configurable, stable, and intuitive frontend platform, including:

• Frontend UI/UX (including 2D/3D rendering and selection tools) for Defense applications such as mission planning/debrief, command and control, and simulation tools
• Data‑oriented design to support user interaction with live and simulated data
• Principled architecture with clear roles and responsibilities, including strong test fixtures

Responsibilities

• Design and implement a data‑oriented frontend UI/UX platform
• Work closely with the Design team to understand user workflows and develop a vision for the Defense Tooling UI/UX
• Collaborate with other teams to integrate the frontend implementation with a state‑of‑the‑art in‑house simulator, data‑transmission pipeline, autonomous systems, and other defense applications

Requirements

• Experience with full‑stack web development
• Interest in spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering problems
• A strong vision and good taste for intuitive user interfaces
• A hunger to learn and grow into a position of ownership and impact on a new product team
• U.S. citizenship (legally required) and eligibility to obtain a security clearance

Nice to Have

• Aptitude with spatial reasoning and 2D/3D geographic map rendering
• Experience with React, TypeScript or Angular technologies
• Experience with real‑time command and control interfaces for robotic systems
