Agentic GEOINT Mission Management Lead at Voyagertechnologiesinc · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Serve as Principal Investigator (PI) for the Agentic Mission Management effort — own the technical vision, technical roadmap, and execution; represent the work to Intelligence Community and national security space customers; and carry it from working prototype to fielded, accredited capability.
Lead the design of an agentic architecture in which an AI orchestrator calls mission capabilities as tools, in whatever order the mission needs.
Design, implement, and deploy production-ready AI agents (using state-of-the-art models from Google, OpenAI, etc) that translate operator intent expressed in plain language into structured collection requests and physically valid collection plans, checked against real orbital mechanics, sensor phenomenology, and access constraints — not just geometry.
Build explainability and human-on-the-loop trust into the platform: every AI recommendation traceable, auditable, and defensible to the operator, with autonomy that expands as the system demonstrates reliability.
Develop and maintain Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expose mission systems — target decks and collection requirements, satellite catalogs and ephemerides, orbit propagation and access-calculation services, tasking interfaces, and imagery archives — to agents as robust, secure tools.
Build evaluation suites that score agents on realistic tasking scenarios: collection-deck satisfaction, revisit and timeliness, sensor-to-target pairing quality, schedule validity against high-fidelity astrodynamics and sensor phenomenology, and operator-trust metrics.
Collaborate closely with GEOINT domain experts, former collection managers and operators, scheduling experts, and security/accreditation staff to encode tradecraft, policy, and safety constraints directly into agent behavior.
Mentor and lead a small, high-tempo team of AI and mission-software engineers, and set the engineering standards — code, evaluation, and documentation — the platform is built to.
Build a system that takes all-source inputs to generate context that informs collection needs.
Use LLMs as a development accelerator for scaffolding code, writing tests, and generating documentation — you should be shipping with agents, not just building them.

Qualification

Strong ability to decompose complexActive UExperience with agentic frameworks

Required

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.
Strong ability to decompose complex, ill-structured mission problems into structured, solvable sub-problems.
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.
Active U.S. Top Secret / SCI security clearance (or TS with SCI eligibility).

Preferred

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field; or equivalent experience.
Prior service as a GEOINT collection manager, imagery analyst, or mission operator in the IC or military — or sustained work alongside them — sufficient to speak the operators’ language and earn their trust.
Familiarity with astrodynamics and access-calculation tools (STK, Orekit, GMAT, SGP4/SDP4 propagation) and with constellation scheduling or optimization approaches.
Experience integrating commercial imagery tasking APIs and orchestrating collection across government, commercial, and allied constellations.
Experience with agentic frameworks, MCP, evaluation harnesses, and growing autonomy in operational systems under human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop constructs.
Familiarity with classified software development and IC accreditation — developing in and deploying to secure environments, and designing systems with an Authority to Operate (ATO) path in mind.
Zeal for AI and national security space (and other cool tech)
