Beyond the Robotics Specialist position, this position adds responsibilities to identify technical direction and to lead the design, development, and implementation of a significant component of a complex system. Identifying technical direction includes identifying and prioritizing new work that addresses weaknesses of or adds substantial new features to current systems; decomposing such work into smaller tasks for less senior personnel; and building development plans for small teams to execute. Responsibilities may also include assisting the project director in formalizing and tracking such plans, in presenting plans and progress to the customer, in tasking small teams to execute such plans, and in monitoring risks during the execution of such plans. It is expected that this position will supervise from one to seven engineers as well as support personnel. This position requires advanced formal engineering or computer science education, superior problem solving skills, and independent decision-making ability. Systems being constructed typically require design and development of: artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques, computer vision, path planning, real-time control algorithms, sensor interfaces, serial and Ethernet communication software, simulation, and graphical user interfaces.
