## About the role

Autonomy is only as good as the link that carries it. Thunder is a compact airframe with weapons, sensors and radios competing for the same antenna real estate, flying low and in formation, in a spectrum that is actively contested. That is the problem you are solving. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Software programming or embedded systems experience (familiarity with C++, MATLAB, Python, PERL scripting, etc.)
- Familiarity with air to air weapons, MIL STD 1553, and logical Interface Control Documents
- Experience integrating weapons, payloads, or avionics onto aircraft
- Experience with weapon or tactical datalinks
- Experience directly leading or technically directing a small multidisciplinary engineering team (software, electrical, mechanical)
- Experience designing or validating safety critical state machines and interlock logic (arm and fire sequencing, consent based release)
