Job Description
• Lead technical discovery with simulation OEMs and defense customers, turning mission requirements and system constraints into clear, executable solution paths
• Deliver presentations, demos, and technical workshops that prove capability under operational scrutiny
• Design and execute proof-of-concepts that validate performance and integration into customer ecosystems (e.g., Unreal, CDB pipelines, OEM toolchains)
• Shape technical responses to RFIs/RFPs and conduct trade studies that position Blackshark as the credible, differentiated choice
• Surface technical risks early - performance, interoperability, security, deployment complexity - and resolve them before they become blockers
• Work closely with Sales leadership, Product, Engineering, and Delivery to ensure what we propose is technically sound, competitively strong, and ready to ship
Job Requirements
- 5+ years in defense, aerospace, simulation, mission systems, or geo-intelligence in a customer-facing technical role (Solutions Engineer, Field Engineer, Solution Architect, Systems Engineer)
- Track record of leading technical discovery and customer evaluations that result in real deployment decisions (not just demos)
- Proven ability to shape architectures and technical scope under real constraints: integration, performance, deployment environment, and customer timelines
- Hands-on technical capability: able to write code/scripts (Python, C++, or similar) and work comfortably in Windows + Linux environments
- Experience producing high-quality technical deliverables: RFI/RFP responses, trade studies, architecture documentation, and technical readouts
- Comfortable engaging senior technical stakeholders and program owners — and earning trust through technical credibility
- Willingness to travel across North America and occasionally internationally
- Experience working with real-time simulation platforms such as Unreal Engine, Unity, or NVIDIA Omniverse
- Familiarity with defense and civil simulation standards (e.g., OGC CDB, OpenFlight, DIS, HLA, 3DTiles, OpenUSD)
- Experience integrating 3D terrain or geospatial data into simulation or mission-system environments
- Working knowledge of GIS tools and formats (e.g., ESRI ArcGIS, QGIS, common raster/vector schemas)
- Experience working with simulator OEMs, integrators, or training system providers
Benefits
- Work where technical credibility matters.
- Be involved in consequential programs.
- Solve integration challenges that aren’t trivial.
- Shape how we scale.
- Operate with autonomy.
