The Autonomy and Vehicle Management System (VMS) Integration Engineer is responsible for integrating, implementing, and validating autonomy software within the aircraft’s mission system architecture. This role requires deep experience in software development, embedded systems programming, service-based architectures, and behavioral modeling. The engineer writes, modifies, and reviews mission system code; develops and validates Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI) services; builds Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and interface adapters; implements autonomy state machines; debugs system behaviors across simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL), and flight test; and ensures that all autonomy and VMS interactions comply with the aircraft’s Interface Control Document (ICD). This role is fundamentally a software engineering role embedded in a mission-systems and flight-integration environment.
