AUTONOMY ENGINEER
Location: Toronto / Ottawa
About Dominion Dynamics
Dominion Dynamics is a Canadian defence technology company building a sovereign Autonomous Combat Platform for RCAF and NORAD missions. Our autonomy and C2 layer, AuraNet, is a Canadian alternative to closed foreign stacks, purpose-built for the Arctic operating environment and near-peer threat. Our digital proving ground, AuraSim, lets us design, train, and validate autonomous tactical behaviour before it ever reaches a test platform.
We are moving autonomy from architecture and CONOPS into deployed, tested capability — and we’re looking for an engineer who can carry a tactical behaviour all the way from concept to a running policy on a test aircraft.
The Role
You will develop the autonomy that flies the platform. Working directly with mission systems, tactics, simulation, and test stakeholders, you’ll turn operational intent into executable behaviour using a hybrid approach: behaviour trees for structured, auditable, doctrine-anchored tactics, and learned policies (RL/IL) where adaptive, high-dimensional decision-making wins. You’ll then prove that behaviour in simulation and help roll it out onto test platforms.
This is a build-and-deploy role, not a research-only role. Success looks like tactical behaviours that are specified with operators, validated in simulation, and demonstrated on hardware.
What You’ll Do
- Elicit and codify tactical behaviour. Work with pilots, tacticians, and capability stakeholders to translate combat employment into clear, testable autonomy requirements.
- Design hybrid autonomy. Architect and implement behaviour trees for structured tactical logic and integrate learned policies where they outperform, deciding deliberately where each belongs and how they hand off. Map behaviours against our PA/MA/CA autonomy taxonomy and Capability Register.
- Develop teaming behaviour. Build multi-agent coordination, target engagement, and survivability across coope
