Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and execute laboratory and field tests to assess performance of multi-spectral thermal camouflage technologies.
  • Coordinate external field trials with defense stakeholders, including military end users.
  • Translate operational user feedback into lab simulation protocols to improve product tests and specifications.
  • Maintain comprehensive testing data, documentation, and reporting for regulatory, grant, and commercialization purposes.
  • Collaborate closely with materials and formulation teams to guide iterative enhancements and validate results.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment where wearing multiple hats and flexibility are essential.
  • Demonstrate a humble, proactive mindset with eagerness to learn and quickly apply new concepts.
  • Take ownership end-to-end, influencing not only technical outcomes but also processes and team culture.
  • Collaborate closely across disciplines, communicating effectively with scientists, engineers, manufacturing partners, and leadership.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities while consistently delivering results.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience in test development, ideally in defense, materials science, or textile domains.

  • Proactive, self-motivated, and able to handle complex stakeholder interactions independently
  • Proven ability to quickly ramp up and contribute in early-stage or rapidly evolving technical programs.
  • Strong problem-solving skills combined with grit and persistence to solve previously unsolved or ambiguous challenges and proven ability to contribute beyond narrow specializations
  • Passion for innovation and drive to make a tangible impact on defense technologies and commercialization success
