The Embedded Artificial Intelligence
Architect (Technical Lead) is responsible for the architecture, documentation, implementation, and training of complex AI/ML models for ground systems and embedded platforms, including those hosted on MDA’s AURORA™ software-defined satellites—enabling AI capabilities in space. The role will initially focus on ground-based development and validation, progressing to on-board deployment where it delivers clear mission value and ROI (e.g., network traffic prediction, anti-jamming mitigation, and cognitive radio applications). Initially, this position will serve as the single accountable architect for AI, with the goal of achieving an initial deployment this year or early next year.
Successful candidates must obtain and hold security clearance at the reliability status level, and pass security assessment for the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) and ITAR.
