# Mission Autonomy Development Engineer

Reports to: Senior Vice President, Aerospace Engineering Type: Full-Time The Role You will develop the autonomy that flies the platform. Dominion Dynamics is building a sovereign Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) for RCAF and NORAD missions. Our autonomy and C2 layer, AuraNet, is a Canadian alternative to closed foreign stacks, purpose-built for the Arctic operating environment and near-peer threat, and our digital proving ground, AuraSim, lets us design, train, and validate autonomous tactical behaviour before it ever reaches a test platform. Working directly with mission systems, tactics, simulation, and test stakeholders, you'll turn operational intent into executable behaviour using a hybrid approach: behaviour trees for structured, auditable, doctrine-anchored tactics, and learned policies (RL/IL) where adaptive, high-dimensional decision-making wins. You'll then prove that behaviour in simulation and help roll it out onto test platforms. This is a build-and-deploy role, not a research-only role. You'll own autonomy end-to-end - from a tactician's whiteboard to a policy running on a test aircraft. The behaviours you build won't sit in a paper; they'll fly. What You'll Do
