Explore the Uncharted : We embrace the unknown with curiosity, using courage and discipline to transform uncertainty into opportunity.

Role Overview

We're seeking a Principal-level leader to own the design, deployment, and evolution of our company's intelligence layer—the systems, workflows, and AI-native applications that connect engineering, manufacturing, and business functions. You'll define how information flows across the organization, deploy AI tools safely and effectively, and translate operational pain points into engineered solutions.

This is a high-impact strategic role that requires both architectural vision and hands-on execution. You'll manage our Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer, partner cross-functionally with engineering and operations teams, and have the autonomy to hire software engineers as needed to build custom AI-native applications. The ideal candidate is an engineer-turned-product leader who understands how to build scalable systems while staying obsessively focused on solving real user problems.

This is an onsite opportunity in our El Segundo, CA office.

Responsibilities

Systems Architecture Information Design

Define and implement the company's information architecture—how data, knowledge, and documentation flow across engineering, manufacturing, and business teams

Design the platforms, integrations, and workflows that serve as the "central nervous system" connecting cross-functional operations

Establish governance frameworks, documentation standards, and data safety protocols that ensure scalability without sacrificing speed

Partner with IT leadership to ensure infrastructure, security, and access controls support the information architecture vision

AI Platform Operations Deployment

Own the strategy and execution for deploying AI tools (Claude Enterprise, custom agents, automation workflows) across the organization

Design and enforce containment layers, access permissions, and network isolation strategies for AI systems

Identify high-impact use cases for AI automation, prioritize based on pain points, and drive cross-functional adoption

Ensure AI deployments meet security, compliance, and data governance requirements

Technical Product Program Leadership

Act as the voice of the user—deeply understand pain points across engineering, manufacturing, and business operations teams

Translate operational challenges into technical solutions, either through platform configuration or by directing software engineers to build custom applications

Lead cross-functional projects that require coordination across IT, software, systems, and business teams

Balance speed and rigor—design systems that enable fast iteration while maintaining proper documentation, structure, and maintainability

Build business cases, define success metrics, and track the impact of information systems and AI initiatives

Team Leadership Cross-Functional Collaboration

Hire and manage software engineers as needed to develop AI-native applications and automation workflows

Partner with engineering leadership to support data pipelines, telemetry infrastructure, and real-time monitoring systems

Interface credibly with deeply technical teams (propulsion engineers, electrochemical engineers, manufacturing specialists) to understand their workflows and pain points

Requirements

7+ years of experience in platform engineering, technical program management, business systems architecture, or related technical leadership roles

Strong technical foundation with hands-on experience building or deploying systems at scale (engineering, platform, or infrastructure background required)

Demonstrated experience deploying AI/ML platforms, tools, or automation workflo…
