Prove the Capability.\nAt Dominion Dynamics, we're building Scout - Canada's sovereign Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) - and the team that takes it from concept to first flight faster than legacy aerospace timelines allow. If you've ever looked at how a traditional aerospace program moves and thought there has to be a faster way, this is where you prove it.\nWhy This Role Matters\nACP - the \"loyal wingman\" class of uncrewed, collaborative combat aircraft - is how Canada builds a sovereign, made-at-home autonomy layer instead of buying someone else's. Dominion designs autonomy-first: the mission software that flies today on smaller uncrewed aircraft transfers straight onto Scout, so by the time the airframe is ready, the intelligence behind it is already proven in the air. It's real hardware, in the field, on a demonstrator timeline most primes wouldn't attempt. We're not backfilling headcount - we're standing up a team, discipline by discipline, to design, build, test, and fly demonstrator aircraft, then scale toward a certified production line.\nWho This Is For\nThis posting isn't tied to one open role. It's how we meet people before we have the exact seat open for them.\nYou might be an aerospace engineer who's spent a career at a Bombardier or a Pratt & Whitney, an avionics or electrical engineer who thinks in wiring diagrams and power budgets, a structures or stress engineer who thinks in loads and margins, an autonomy or mission-systems engineer who wants their code in the air, a technician who'd rather build the aircraft than talk about it, or someone in ops, program control, or procurement who keeps a fast-moving engineering program from tripping over itself.\nMaybe you're early in your career - a student or recent grad who wants your first real work to matter. We're building room for that too.\nOur team includes veterans of the Canadian and allied armed forces alongside people who've built at places like Bombardier, Anduril, and Boeing. We move at startup speed, engineer to aerospace standards, and keep sovereign Canadian capability at the center of everything we ship.\nWhat You Might Work On\nThere's no single lane here. Depending on your background, you could:\nDesign, stress, or integrate structure for a demonstrator aircraft - fuselage, wing, empennage\n\nWork aerodynamics, aircraft configuration, or control laws for a next-generation autonomous airframe\n\nOwn propulsion, fuel, mechanical, or vehicle management systems from design through flight test\n\nBuild the mission systems, autonomy software, or sensor fusion that let the aircraft think\n\nIntegrate systems across the aircraft and carry them through airworthiness and certification\n\nSupport ground test, flight test, or flight operations once the aircraft is in the air\n\nHelp build out production, quality, or procurement as the program scales from demonstrators to a fleet\n\nKeep a fast-moving engineering program organized as a program or project controller\n\nIf you've ever stood next to a system and thought \"there has to be a better way to do this\" - this is where you build it.\nReady When You Are\nYou don't need a job description that matches you word for word. Tell us where you've worked, what you're good at, and what part of this pulls at you. We'll take it from there.\nNo defence background required.\nWe've hired people who didn't tick every box. If this is the work you want to do, please apply anyway.\nWhy Join Us\nBuilding something meaningful starts with the right people.\nAt Dominion Dynamics, you’ll:\nShape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies.\n\nMake decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.\n\nMove fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator - our systems are in the field with the CAF now.\n\nHave an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.\n\nIf you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong!\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive base salary and company equity*\n\nComprehensive health benefits\n\nAdditional equity granted based on impact*\n\nWe use AI tools to support parts of the hiring process, including screening and reviewing responses. Final hiring decisions are always made by people and follow all applicable privacy and employment laws in Canada.\n*Equity awarded to full time employees only.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4440,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["C4ISR"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T11:39:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.356,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":67,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T21:02:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":751,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":43023},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=43023"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-autonomous-collaborative-platform-acp-general-interest"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3740459}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"defendthedominion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3740459},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
