Software Engineer - Frontend Autonomous Air System V&V

About the role

As a Frontend Engineer on the Autonomous Air System V&V team, you'll build simulation and validation interfaces that enable rigorous testing of AI-driven autonomous air systems. You'll create Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop environments, developing complex technical UIs that turn simulation data into human-understandable visualizations for engineers and operators in high-stakes defense applications.

What you'll do

• Own user interfaces end-to-end from wireframes to production code, working with product and UX teams
• Build data visualizations for complex simulation outputs, test results, and AI behavior analysis
• Develop real-time interfaces for live test execution dashboards and streaming data displays
• Create and maintain component libraries ensuring consistency across multiple front-end products
• Translate complex technical data into intuitive, actionable interfaces for engineers
• Review code contributions and mentor colleagues as part of collaborative development culture
• Connect with backend systems written in Rust to improve integrations and unblock development
• Develop comprehensive tests and benchmarks to ensure robustness in critical applications
• Present work at weekly demo sessions and participate in technical knowledge sharing

What you'll need

• Strong frontend development experience with JavaScript and modern frameworks like React
• Experience designing technical products and data-heavy user interfaces
• User research and prototyping skills for complex technical applications
• Proficiency with APIs and server-client communication including REST and GraphQL
• Ability to work with unfamiliar backends, ideally with exposure to Rust
• Skills in writing legible, maintainable, and performant code
• Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written
• Experience with collaborative development including code reviews and pair programming
• Comfort with asynchronous work including PRs, RFCs, and email discussions
• Commitment to ethical engineering considerations
