Agentic GEOINT Mission Management Lead

7+ years of professional experience in software engineering, mission systems, or GEOINT / remote-sensing systems, including demonstrated technical leadership (PI, tech lead, chief engineer, or equivalent) on R&D or prototype efforts for IC or DoD customers.

Deep working knowledge of the GEOINT tasking and collection lifecycle — collection requirements and decks, access windows, sensor phenomenology (EO/IR, SAR, RF), constellation scheduling, and the operational realities of multi-source collection management.

Hands-on experience building LLM-powered agents or tools (professional, research, or serious personal projects), and a demonstrated habit of using LLMs and agents to accelerate development rather than writing all boilerplate by hand.

Strong proficiency in Python and experience building or directing backend services and APIs.

Experience carrying a capability across the prototype-to-production gap: hardening, testing, security, and the discipline to be blunt about what is real, what is staged for demos, and what remains to be built.

Multi-disciplinary collaborator who enters unfamiliar domains and establishes useful working depth in days-to-weeks rather than quarters, and who thrives in a short-cycle, high-tempo environment with real customers on the other end.

We are seeking an Agentic GEOINT Mission Management Lead to lead the technical effort building Voyager’s Agentic Mission Management platform — an AI-native system that lets intelligence operators task and orchestrate large, heterogeneous satellite constellations through natural conversation instead of manual planning tools.

In this role, you will own the technical vision and hands-on execution for a platform that turns operator intent into physically valid, explainable, executable collection plans — and matures it from working prototype to accredited operational capability.

You will sit at the intersection of GEOINT tasking tradecraft, collection orchestration, and agentic AI.

This role is a fit for someone who has lived the tasking-to-dissemination cycle and gets impatient with monolithic, opaque, manual planning workflows — who knows that the target deck now changes by the hour while constellations have grown from a handful of exquisite assets to hundreds of government, commercial, and allied satellites, and who wants to see their agents task real sensors against real physics, not just push text around.

The work also involves decomposing the judgment of collection managers and mission planners into agent definitions, tool integrations, scheduling and astrodynamics couplings, and evaluation suites.

You will be joining a specialized group within our Advanced Technology Development organization responsible for building Voyager’s Agentic Mission Management platform — the AI-native system that translates human intent into mission management action.
