The Ground Segment Engineer, Airborne Systems is responsible for designing, implementing, and integrating the operator-facing mission control software and the complete mission data ecosystem that connects airborne systems, ground control stations, autonomy services, and analysis tools. This role requires deep software engineering expertise to build tablet-based Ground Control Station (GCS) applications, implement Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI) integrations, develop real-time telemetry and visualization tools, and construct high-fidelity data logging, synchronization, and playback frameworks. The engineer ensures that mission planning products, autonomy commands, vehicle state data, communications traces, sensor events, and mission logs flow predictably and coherently across airborne, ground, and simulation environments, enabling effective command and monitoring during test and reliable reconstruction during debrief.
