YOUR MISSION

Autonomy isn't a feature at True Anomaly, it's our competitive advantage. In space-to-space operations, victory is measured in milliseconds. When spacecraft operate in contested, unpredictable environments beyond reliable communication range, autonomous decision-making becomes the difference between mission success and failure. Human-in-the-loop isn't fast enough. Pre-programmed responses aren't adaptive enough. 

As Head of Autonomy, you'll define and scale the technical vision that enables our spacecraft to act, not react. You'll build systems that make optimal decisions under uncertainty in close-proximity operations, anticipate adversary behavior, and execute maneuvers without waiting for ground commands. This role owns the autonomy roadmap end-to-end, from foundational algorithms to flight-certified systems deployed across multiple product lines. 

You'll lead a small, elite team and shape how we design, validate, and deploy autonomous capabilities that outpace any competitor or adversary. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Own the autonomy vision and technical roadmap for all True Anomaly products, translating strategic objectives into concrete algorithmic capabilities and delivery milestones 
• Build autonomous decision-making systems for close-proximity space operations in contested environments where communication delays, sensor uncertainty, and adversary adaptation demand real-time intelligence 
• Develop game-theoretic frameworks for multi-agent space scenarios, modeling adversary behavior, optimal response strategies, and equilibrium concepts for space domain awareness and defensive operations 
• Integrate machine learning where it provides measurable advantages such as Multi Agent collaboration, anomaly detection, pattern recognition, and adaptive behavior, while maintaining the rigor and reliability required for safety-critical spaceflight 
• Recruit and mentor a world-class autonomy team, leveraging your network to bring in specialists across game theory, optimal control, and machine learning 
• Collaborate cross-functionally with GNC, flight software, simulation, mission ops, and hardware teams to ensure autonomous algorithms integrate seamlessly into operational spacecraft 
• Drive maturation of research into flight-ready capabilities, balancing innovation with the certification requirements and risk posture of operational space systems 
• Design and implement optimal control algorithms for spacecraft maneuvering, resource allocation, and mission planning under constraints (fuel, time, sensor coverage, risk tolerance) 
• Represent True Anomaly's technical vision externally, publishing research, engaging with the autonomy community, and establishing our credibility as leaders in the field 

QUALIFICATIONS 

• Deep expertise in at least one of these three pillars, with working knowledge of the others:  
• Game theory—Nash equilibria, multi-agent systems, adversarial reasoning, differential games, or pursuit-evasion problems
