About the Team
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) brings world-class expertise to the nation's most critical defense, security, space, and science challenges. We are dedicated to solving complex problems and pioneering new technologies. What makes us truly outstanding is our culture: a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere where you can bring your authentic self to work, continue to grow, and build strong connections with inspiring teammates. We celebrate differences of perspective and encourage creativity and bold, new ideas.
About the Role
We are seeking a Maritime Autonomous Systems Engineer to join a highly creative, adaptable, and success-driven group. In this role, you will help the US Navy prototype and adopt new maritime robotics technologies for uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs), and other robotic vehicles. You will have a direct impact on the Navy's biggest challenges by applying your systems engineering, test, and team leadership skills to achieve the goals of APL prototype projects and modernize our sponsors' acquisition approach for autonomous systems.
You will be joining a team that builds on APL's legacy of scientific research and development and trusted service to the nation. As a subject matter expert, you will lead and mentor multidisciplinary technical teams, oversee the design and integration of autonomous maritime vehicles, and collaborate with the US Navy and other government and industry sponsors. This is an opportunity to take ownership of technical problems, seek creative solutions, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can lead collaborative teams on new and exciting challenges.
