Job Description

The Tactical Autonomy Group develops and delivers AI-enabled autonomy and robotic systems where it counts - at the tactical edge. As an FFRDC, we combine academic depth in algorithms, controls, and machine learning, the execution speed of industry, and direct mission pull from operational end-users to solve problems others can’t. We don’t stop at papers: we design, build, integrate, field-test, and transition autonomy stacks - spanning perception, decision-making, learning, and control - into real operations across the DoD and Intelligence Community.


Position Description

This position is for an autonomy-focused Lab Manager responsible for coordinating the day-to-day operations of the Autonomous Systems Development Facility (ASDF). The Lab Manager supports engineering staff from across the organization in the development of autonomous system prototypes, from implementation through indoor and outdoor testing and field experimentation.
