Communications, Unmanned Ground Systems C2&Robotics Doctrinal Lead

Description of the Role A dual-hat role that bridges tactical communications engineering and robotics doctrine. The ideal candidate is a former officer with signals, electronic warfare, or communications specialization who also has genuine technical depth. This person owns the Tier 3 scope jointly with the communications partner: software-defined radio, mesh networking, satellite communications, command and control integration, and critically, the remote-control failsafe system (both wireless and fiber-optic). Simultaneously, this person drives robotics doctrine requirements into the communications architecture, answering: what does denied-spectrum operations actually mean for an autonomous combat robot?Detailed Responsibilities Own Tier 3 technical direction jointly with the communications partner: software-defined radio integration, mesh networking, satellite link, command and control framework Design the remote-control failsafe system: wireless direct control for training and testing, fibre-optic tethered control for combat recovery when the autonomy tier is shut downDrive robotics doctrine requirements into the communications architecture: what happens when radio is jammed, when satellite is lost, when the operator link degrades? Define the denied-spectrum operations concept: graceful degradation of autonomy and communications under electronic warfare conditionsCo-design the authority sharing state machine (human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop, self-defense modes) with operational credibility Own the Tier 3 bring-up: first mesh link, first remote-control loop, first operator data display Define multi-vehicle operations concept: how one operator controls 2 to 5 vehicles simultaneously without cognitive overloadInterface with the communications partner for Statement of Work execution and technical acceptance Competencies: Diplomas, Experience, and Soft Skills Military background with signals, electronic warfare, or communications expertise. Officer level preferred. Technical depth in tactical communications: software-defined radio, mesh networking, satellite communications concepts. Not just user-level, understands link budgets, waveforms, and interference.Interest in or experience with robotics, unmanned systems, or autonomous operations. Doctrine development capability: ability to translate operational needs into technical requirements and vice versa. Understanding of command-and-control frameworks and standards used in allied ground operations.Fluent French and professional English. Comfort working in a small technical team where military rank is replaced by engineering contribution.
