AI Systems Engineer - Agentic Autonomy

HavocAI is seeking an AI Systems Engineer with deep expertise in large language models (LLMs), agentic AI architectures, and integrating advanced AI models into production-grade robotic or mission systems. The role involves leading the design and deployment of AI-powered components that enhance human–machine teaming, mission planning, situational understanding, and autonomy decision-making.

Requirements

• Lead the design and development of LLM-powered software modules for mission reasoning, planning, operator interaction, and autonomous decision support.
• Integrate LLMs and agentic systems into HavocAI’s autonomy architecture, including ROS/ROS2 systems, planning engines, and mission software.
• Build multi-agent, tool-using AI systems that interact with perception data, mission databases, simulation systems, and operator inputs.
• Develop APIs, wrappers, and orchestration layers enabling LLMs to interface safely with embedded, cloud, and edge compute environments.
• Optimize LLM inference pipelines for performance, latency, and reliability in field-deployed systems.
• Evaluate model behavior, perform safety testing, and develop guardrails for mission-critical use cases.
• Collaborate with autonomy, embedded, simulation, and full-stack teams to define requirements and ensure robust system-level integration.
• Guide strategic decisions on model selection, fine-tuning approaches, safety frameworks, and long-term AI architecture.
• Contribute to field testing, operator evaluations, and iterative deployment cycles for AI-augmented autonomy systems.
