Greywright Inc Boston, Massachusetts
Job Description Job Description Greywright is hiring an Autonomous Systems Architect to lead the build-out and improvement of end-to-end architecture for autonomous systems. You will define how multiple interconnected systems fit together and work as one: their interfaces, data flows, autonomy, communications, and safety. You will be the technical authority on system-level design decisions, balancing performance, integration risk, cost, and schedule across hardware, software, and partner teams. Requirements What you'll do Own and evolve the system-of-systems architecture for Greywright's autonomous platforms, from vehicle to command-and-control, starting from our existing baselines. Assess the baseline architecture, identify gaps, and lead a prioritized upgrade roadmap. Integrate third-party OEM systems with Greywright-designed systems: evaluate partner products, define integration approaches, and manage technical dependencies on outside vendors. Specify and control interfaces (ICDs) for hardware, software, data, power, and communications across in-house and OEM components. Lead the evolution of our autonomy software architecture, including perception, planning, navigation, and vehicle control, extending the existing stack to new capabilities and platforms. Design for open, modular standards so systems from different suppliers can plug in and be swapped out. Lead architecture trade studies and document key decisions, balancing performance, risk, cost, and schedule. Derive and flow down system requirements; own the system architecture model (e.g., SysML/MBSE). Define system-level approaches to safety, cybersecurity, resilience, and degraded-mode operation (e.g., GNSS- or comms-denied). Serve as technical point of contact with OEM partners and customers in design reviews and integration planning. Guide GNC, software, hardware, and test teams so subsystem designs stay consistent with the overall architecture. What you bring B.S. in Systems, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. 10+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ years architecting autonomous, robotic, or uncrewed systems. Proven experience integrating third-party or OEM systems with in-house designs into a working, fielded product. Experience extending or modernizing an existing autonomy stack. Deep understanding of autonomy software stacks, sensors, networking, and embedded and distributed systems. Experience writing and managing interface control documents and system requirements. Strong grasp of communications and data links, middleware (e.g., ROS 2, DDS), and message standards. Track record of making and defending architecture decisions with engineers, partners, and customers. Clear writer and communicator who can explain complex systems to technical and non-technical audiences. Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time when needed. This role requires access to ITAR/EAR-controlled data; U.S. person status is required as defined by 22 CFR 120.62. Nice to have M.S. or Ph.D. in a relevant field. Experience with defense open-architecture standards such as MOSA, UCI, or similar government reference architectures. Eligibility to obtain a U.S. Secret or higher security clearance; an active clearance is not required. MBSE tooling experience (e.g., Cameo, Capella). Experience architecting multi-vehicle or collaborative autonomy and command-and-control systems. Background in maritime autonomous systems. Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks for defense systems (e.g., RMF, NIST 800-171). Experience supporting government programs through design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR). Benefits Meaningful early-stage equity. Great health, dental, and vision insurance. Unlimited vacation.

Lead AI Ops Engineer - Infrastructure
USAA San Antonio, Texas
Why USAA? At USAA, our mission is to empower our members to achieve financial security through highly competitive products, exceptional service and trusted advice. We seek to be the choice for the military community and their families. Embrace a fulfilling career at USAA, where our core values - honesty, integrity, loyalty and service - define how we treat each other and our members. Be part of what truly makes us special and impactful. We are proud to support active-duty military spouses. USAA roles may offer remote or hybrid flexibility for active-duty military spouses consistent with applicable policy and business needs. The Opportunity The Infrastructure AI Ops team's Senior engineers build and operate the data-to-automation pipeline for individual capacity, anomaly, and remediation use cases. As the Lead AI Ops Engineer - Infrastructure, you own what's harder than any single use case: the technical judgment calls that don't have an obvious owner - which anomaly-detection or capacity-modeling approach should become the pattern every new infrastructure use case reuses, whether a topology-reconciliation design scales past the next order of magnitude of the estate, what a remediation needs before it's trusted to run at autonomy level 4 against production compute or storage. You'll still write code and ship - this is not a step off the keyboard - but you will also be the person seniors come to when a design doesn't have a textbook answer, and the person the Director turns to when a technical bet needs a second, harder look before it's defended to Risk and Audit. This position offers a flexible work environment with an onsite requirement of 5 days per week. This position is based in San Antonio, TX. Relocation assistance is not available for this position. What you'll do: Own the technical design and architecture for the domain's highest-ambiguity or highest-consequence AIOps builds, personally shipping the hardest components yourself rather than delegating them away. Set the technical standards and reusable patterns - telemetry-consuming feature pipelines, topology-graph design, infrastructure-as-code remediation scaffolding - that the domain's Senior and Associate engineers build against. Lead the domain's progression up the autonomy ladder - decide, with the Director, which infrastructure use cases are ready to advance toward guard railed or self-healing automation, and own the evidence package that justifies it. Serve as the primary technical escalation point during major incidents - including the real-time call on the kill switch - and lead postmortems that turn the lesson into an updated standard. Mentor the domain's Senior engineers on technical depth and judgment, growing the next Lead, and stay hands-on shipping production code and infrastructure-as-code on a regular cadence. What you have: Bachelor's degree; OR 4 years of relevant education and/or experience. 7+ years of hands-on infrastructure, platform, or site-reliability engineering experience, including sustained ownership of production systems at meaningful scale. A track record of being the de facto technical authority on a team - the engineer others' designs get checked against - including leading technical design reviews and setting engineering standards for senior-level engineers. Deep expertise productionizing ML models for infrastructure operational data using frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn, plus advanced, hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code and orchestration tooling - Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes operators - including setting team conventions. Demonstrated experience designing and defending production automation that has executed against a regulated institution's production infrastructure, including the approval-gate and rollback design that made it defensible. Demonstrated judgment under real incident pressure, including the experience and credibility to make the call to halt an automation mid-incident. What sets you apart: Demonstrated experience establishing technical standards, architecture patterns, and engineering practices for Infrastructure AI Ops solutions that are adopted across engineering teams. Proven experience serving as a senior technical escalation point during critical production incidents, providing technical leadership and decision-making for complex infrastructure automation solutions. Experience designing and implementing operational AI evaluation, safety, and control frameworks that are scalable and adopted across multiple teams or functions. Experience designing or operating highly autonomous, self-healing infrastructure capabilities, including automated production remediation and the technical controls, validation, governance, and evidence required to support implementation. Demonstrated experience representing engineering in engagements with Model Risk Management, Internal Audit, or similar governance functions, effectively communicating and resolving complex technical, risk, and control considerations. US military experience gained through military service or gained as a military spouse / domestic partner. Compensation range: The salary range for this position is: $127,310 - $243,340. USAA does not provide visa sponsorship for this role. Please do not apply for this role if at any time (now or in the future) you will need immigration support (i.e., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT Training Plans, etc.).

USAA roles may offer remote or hybrid flexibility for active-duty military spouses consistent with applicable policy and business needs. The Opportunity The Infrastructure AI Ops team's Senior engineers build and operate the data-to-automation pipeline for individual capacity, anomaly, and remediation use cases. As the Lead AI Ops Engineer - Infrastructure, you own what's harder than any single use case: the technical judgment calls that don't have an obvious owner - which anomaly-detection or capacity-modeling approach should become the pattern every new infrastructure use case reuses, whether a topology-reconciliation design scales past the next order of magnitude of the estate, what a remediation needs before it's trusted to run at autonomy level 4 against production compute or storage. You'll still write code and ship - this is not a step off the keyboard - but you will also be the person seniors come to when a design doesn't have a textbook answer, and the person the Director turns to when a technical bet needs a second, harder look before it's defended to Risk and Audit. This position offers a flexible work environment with an onsite requirement of 5 days per week. This position is based in San Antonio, TX. Relocation assistance is not available for this position. What you'll do: Own the technical design and architecture for the domain's highest-ambiguity or highest-consequence AIOps builds, personally shipping the hardest components yourself rather than delegating them away. Set the technical standards and reusable patterns - telemetry-consuming feature pipelines, topology-graph design, infrastructure-as-code remediation scaffolding - that the domain's Senior and Associate engineers build against. Lead the domain's progression up the autonomy ladder - decide, with the Director, which infrastructure use cases are ready to advance toward guard railed or self-healing automation, and own the evidence package that justifies it. Serve as the primary technical escalation point during major incidents - including the real-time call on the kill switch - and lead postmortems that turn the lesson into an updated standard. Mentor the domain's Senior engineers on technical depth and judgment, growing the next Lead, and stay hands-on shipping production code and infrastructure-as-code on a regular cadence. What you have: Bachelor's degree; OR 4 years of relevant education and/or experience. 7+ years of hands-on infrastructure, platform, or site-reliability engineering experience, including sustained ownership of production systems at meaningful scale. A track record of being the de facto technical authority on a team - the engineer others' designs get checked against - including leading technical design reviews and setting engineering standards for senior-level engineers. Deep expertise productionizing ML models for infrastructure operational data using frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn, plus advanced, hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code and orchestration tooling - Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes operators - including setting team conventions. Demonstrated experience designing and defending production automation that has executed against a regulated institution's production infrastructure, including the approval-gate and rollback design that made it defensible. Demonstrated judgment under real incident pressure, including the experience and credibility to make the call to halt an automation mid-incident. What sets you apart: Demonstrated experience establishing technical standards, architecture patterns, and engineering practices for Infrastructure AI Ops solutions that are adopted across engineering teams. Proven experience serving as a senior technical escalation point during critical production incidents, providing technical leadership and decision-making for complex infrastructure automation solutions. Experience designing and implementing operational AI evaluation, safety, and control frameworks that are scalable and adopted across multiple teams or functions. Experience designing or operating highly autonomous, self-healing infrastructure capabilities, including automated production remediation and the technical controls, validation, governance, and evidence required to support implementation. Demonstrated experience representing engineering in engagements with Model Risk Management, Internal Audit, or similar governance functions, effectively communicating and resolving complex technical, risk, and control considerations. US military experience gained through military service or gained as a military spouse / domestic partner. Compensation range: The salary range for this position is: $127,310 - $243,340. USAA does not provide visa sponsorship for this role. Please do not apply for this role if at any time (now or in the future) you will need immigration support (i.e., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT Training Plans, etc.). Compensation: USAA has an effective process for assessing market data and establishing ranges to ensure we remain competitive. You are paid within the salary range based on your experience and market data of the position. The actual salary for this role may vary by location.

As the Lead AI Ops Engineer - Application, you own what's harder than any single use case: the technical judgment calls that don't have an obvious owner - which anomaly-detection approach should become the pattern every new use case reuses, whether a correlation design scales past the next order of magnitude of alert volume, what a remediation needs before it's trusted to run at autonomy level 4 against a payment-critical service. You'll still write code and ship - this is not a step off the keyboard - but you'll also be the person Seniors come to when a design doesn't have a textbook answer, and the person the Director turns to when a technical bet needs a second, harder look before it's defended to Risk and Audit. This position offers a flexible work environment with an onsite requirement of 5 days per week. This position is based in San Antonio, TX. Relocation assistance is not available for this position. What you'll do: Own the technical design and architecture for the domain's highest-ambiguity or highest-consequence AIOps builds, personally shipping the hardest components yourself rather than delegating them away. Set the technical standards and reusable patterns - feature-engineering conventions, model evaluation harnesses, remediation-automation scaffolding - that the domain's Senior and Associate engineers build against. Lead the domain's progression up the autonomy ladder - decide, with the Director, which use cases are ready to advance toward guard railed or self-healing automation, and own the evidence package that justifies it. Serve as the primary technical escalation point during major incidents - including the real-time call on the kill switch - and lead postmortems that turn the lesson into an updated standard. Mentor the domain's Senior engineers on technical depth and judgment, growing the next Lead, and stay hands-on shipping production code on a regular cadence. What you have: Bachelor's degree; OR 4 years of relevant education and/or experience. 7+ years of hands-on software or data engineering experience, including sustained ownership of production systems at meaningful scale. A track record of being the de facto technical authority on a team - the engineer others' designs get checked against - including leading technical design reviews and setting engineering standards for senior-level engineers. Deep expertise productionizing ML models for operational use cases using frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn, plus advanced fluency with LLM-based techniques and their failure modes, including setting guardrails and evaluation criteria. Demonstrated experience designing and defending production automation that has executed against a regulated institution's production systems, including the approval-gate and rollback design that made it defensible. Demonstrated judgment under real incident pressure, including the experience and credibility to make the call to halt an automation mid-incident. What sets you apart: Demonstrated experience establishing technical standards, architecture patterns, and engineering practices for AIOps solutions that are adopted across engineering teams. Proven experience serving as a senior technical escalation point for production incidents, providing technical direction and decision-making for complex automation and operational AI solutions. Experience designing and implementing evaluation, safety, and control frameworks for operational AI that are scalable and adopted across multiple teams or functions. Experience designing or operating highly autonomous or self-healing remediation capabilities, including technical controls, governance, validation, and evidence required to support production approval. Demonstrated experience representing engineering in engagements with Model Risk Management, Internal Audit, or similar governance functions, effectively articulating and resolving complex technical, risk, and control considerations. US military experience gained through military service or gained as a military spouse / domestic partner. Compensation range: The salary range for this position is: $127,310 - $243,340. USAA does not provide visa sponsorship for this role. Please do not apply for this role if at any time (now or in the future) you will need immigration support (i.e., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT Training Plans, etc.).
