  • Ability to support ambiguous, research-driven, and mission-focused technical efforts
  • US Citizenship with ability to obtain/maintain an FAA Public Trust

Desired Qualifications
  • 5+ years of startup, founder, innovation lab, early-stage product, applied R&D, or similar experience
  • Experience building applications, prototypes, demonstrations for aviation, air traffic control, airport operations, aerospace, NAS modernization, or FAA
  • Experience developing multi-user digital twin, immersive training, or operational visualization environments
  • Familiarity with AI/XR convergence, agentic AI, advanced analytics, or data-driven simulation
