At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in precision weapons and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Our team of engineers and innovators are developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions to deliver affordable and scalable precision weapons, interceptors, and UAS. We're building the next generation of munitions and unmanned systems for the United States and its allies. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on defense technology, you belong here. At Zone 5 Technologies, we rapidly develop and field advanced unmanned aircraft systems through disciplined integration, testing, and block upgrade strategies. We are seeking a Systems Integration & Test Manager to architect and lead a cross-disciplinary engineering team responsible for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) integration, configuration control, and structured feature validation prior to flight. This role will build the technical and procedural backbone that allows software, avionics, mechanical, and environmental subsystems to integrate predictably and transition cleanly into aircraft production. Responsibilities HITL Architecture & Integration Environment Architect and maintain a flight-representative HITL environment Define hardware and software integration standards Ensure coexistence between hardware platforms and software feature development Establish component-level integration workflows (e.g., radar altimeter, avionics modules) Validate signals, timing, interfaces, compatibility and performance prior to aircraft installation Feature On-Ramp & Block Upgrade Strategy Define readiness criteria for transitioning features from HITL to aircraft Develop structured ground test campaigns Create block upgrade roadmaps for production aircraft Coordinate with software and flight test leadership for release planning Configuration Control & Systems Engineering Establish configuration management processes for HITL and aircraft baselines Control hardware revisi…
