About the Role
This is the defense engineering role at Navi, focusing on military aviation. You will own how Navi works for squadrons, test pilots, and instructor cadres, building it in direct contact with operators. The role involves working on-site at Edwards and other installations, observing operations, and rapidly iterating on the product based on feedback.
Responsibilities
- Own Navi's military product surface end to end — the ingest, the analysis, and the interfaces squadron commanders, instructor pilots, and test pilots depend on
- Build the integrations that get flight data off military aircraft and into Navi — telemetry, cockpit audio, avionics formats, and whatever the airframe actually gives you
- Turn sortie data into debrief intelligence that holds up to the standard of a military debrief — maneuver analysis, grade sheets, trend detection across a training pipeline
- Work on-site at Edwards and other installations, embedded with the operators, translating what they need into what you ship
- Navigate the deployment realities of defense environments — restricted networks, accreditation, data handling, and the constraints that come with them
- Make the architecture calls that let the military product and the commercial product share a spine without either compromising the other
- Be Navi's technical voice in front of Air Force stakeholders — credible in the room, then back at your desk shipping
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of building and operating complex systems in production
- Demonstrated ability to own projects end to end — scoping, design, implementation, launch, iteration — with minimal direction
- Deep expertise in at least one core area (backend systems, data engineering, distributed infrastructure, or full-stack) and working fluency across others
- Comfortable working directly with non-technical users and translating operator needs into engineering decisions
- You stay effective when there's no manual, no clear owner, and the requirements change after the first flight
- Willing to travel to military installations regularly and spend real time on the ground with users
- U.S. citizen, and eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance
