About the Role
AeroVect is transforming ground handling with autonomy and is seeking a Director of Autonomy to lead their autonomy organization end-to-end. This role involves managing the entire autonomy team, owning the technical direction, and being accountable for the technical roadmap and delivery. It is a hands-on leadership position requiring both systems-level expertise and strong execution capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Own the entire autonomy stack — Perception, Prediction, Planning, Controls, and Localization — end-to-end, technically and organizationally.
- Set and own the multi-year technical roadmap for the autonomy stack, including the long-term architectural direction.
- Manage the autonomy team across all modules, build the org structure, hire senior talent, run the operating cadence, and ensure delivery against the company's autonomy roadmap.
- Act as the primary autonomy interface to Systems, Safety, Platform, Hardware, Simulation, and Product, owning cross-functional trade-offs.
- Participate in design reviews, challenge technical decisions, and debug complex problems with the team.
Requirements
- 15+ years of hands-on experience building production autonomy systems with strong technical depth across multiple modules (localization, perception, prediction, planning, controls).
- Demonstrated track record of shipping autonomy components that have run in production on real vehicles at non-trivial scale.
- Direct management experience of an autonomy or robotics team of 15+ engineers, including senior and staff-level ICs.
- Track record of running the operating cadence of an autonomy organization (planning, prioritization, technical reviews, performance management).
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of an autonomy stack.
- Fluency with modern deep learning for autonomy, including practical realities of training, evaluation, deployment, and lifecycle management.
- Experience working in or with ROS / ROS 2 and distributed-systems realities of on-vehicle compute.
- A bias for execution; ability to convert ambiguity into a plan and the plan into running code on a vehicle.
