Senior Manager, Engineering - Hivemind Reasoning (R6291)

Lead the future of physical AI in defense by building the reasoning models for unmanned autonomous systems, across aerial, maritime, land, and space domains. 

We are looking for a leader with not only the deep technical expertise or the abilities to build a world-class team, but also someone with the strong conviction that AI will protect service members and civilians. This role is responsible for building and leading a team that researches and designs models, establishes training pipelines and rigorous evaluations, and ensures mission effectiveness at the edge under real-world constraints. These models must support individual vehicles and coordinated teams of hundreds of agents, while meeting the constraints of operating at the edge in contested environments. 

In this role, you’ll partner closely with world-class teams in perception, MLOps, large-scale simulation, and inference to deliver capabilities as part of the broader Hivemind Enterprise team. 

What success looks like: your team’s reasoning models deliver exceptional outcomes for baseline platforms and missions, which can then be rapidly and confidently adapted to new platforms and missions by our solutions engineering organisation.
