Senior Solution Engineer – Mission Systems & Simulation at Blackshark.ai. Location Information: USA. Satellite constellations. Tactical drones. Synthetic environments. The world is producing more geospatial data than ever, and most organizations still struggle to turn it into usable, operational systems. . Blackshark.ai. builds a GPU-native geospatial AI and terrain platform that powers mission systems, simulation environments, and large-scale analytics. We enable customers to generate high-fidelity 3D terrain and extract actionable insights from satellite and drone imagery at global scale. . Our technology is deployed across defense, intelligence, government, and simulation OEM ecosystems. We support cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, and edge deployments - because mission systems don’t live in one environment. . Founded in 2020, we’ve raised $35M in Series A funding from Microsoft M12, Point72 Ventures, In-Q-Tel, Safran, ISAI/Capgemini, and other leading investors in the US and Europe. . We’re now expanding our footprint in mission-critical simulation and defense systems. . As a Senior Solutions Engineer, you’ll help customers deploy and expand Blackshark within operational simulation and mission systems. . You’ll work with simulation OEMs and defense teams where the details matter: performance, formats, deployment constraints, certification requirements. You’ll lead discovery, define architectures, and validate solutions through proof-of-concepts, working closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to turn complex requirements into executable systems. . What You’ll Own:. Lead technical discovery with simulation OEMs and defense customers, turning mission requirements and system constraints into clear, executable solution paths . Deliver presentations, demos, and technical workshops that prove capability under operational scrutiny . Design and execute proof-of-concepts that validate performance and integration into customer ecosystems (e.g., Unreal, CDB pipelines, OEM toolchains) . Shape technical responses to RFIs/RFPs and conduct trade studies that position Blackshark as the credible, differentiated choice . Surface technical risks early - performance, interoperability, security, deployment complexity - and resolve them before they become blockers . Work closely with Sales leadership, Product, Engineering, and Delivery to ensure what we propose is technically sound, competitively strong, and ready to ship . Feed structured fi. Your Profile:. 5+ years in defense, aerospace, simulation, mission systems, or geo-intelligence in a customer-facing technical role (Solutions Engineer, Field Engineer, Solution Architect, Systems Engineer) . Track record of leading technical discovery and customer evaluations that result in real deployment decisions (not just demos) . Proven ability to shape architectures and technical scope under real constraints: integration, performance, deployment environment, and customer timelines . Hands-on technical capability: able to write code/scripts (Python, C++, or similar) and work comfortably in Windows + Linux environments . Experience producing high-quality technical deliverables: RFI/RFP responses, trade studies, architecture documentation, and technical readouts . Comfortable engaging senior technical stakeholders and program owners — and earning trust through technical credibility . Willingness to travel across North America and occasionally internationally . Additionally you have:. Experience working with real-time simulation platforms such as Unreal Engine, Unity, or NVIDIA Omniverse . Familiarity with defense and civil simulation standards (e.g., OGC CDB, OpenFlight, DIS, HLA, 3DTiles, OpenUSD) . Experience integrating 3D terrain or geospatial data into simulation or mission-system environments . Working knowledge of GIS tools and formats (e.g., ESRI ArcGIS, QGIS, common raster/vector schemas) . Experience working with simulator OEMs, integrators, or training system providers . Why Join Us. Work where technical credibility matters..  Our customers operate in environments where performance, integration, and reliability aren’t optional. The technical bar is high, and that’s exactly why this role exists. . Be involved in consequential programs..  You’ll support simulation OEMs and defense teams making long-term architecture decisions. When we’re selected, it’s because the solution holds up technically. . Solve integration challenges that aren’t trivial..  Terrain pipelines, simulation standards, deployment constraints - this is systems work, not feature demos. . Shape how we scale..  We’re expanding across mission-critical accounts. This role helps define how we engage technically as we grow. . Operate with autonomy..  We hire experienced people and trust them to lead in the field
