## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement WebGL-based 3D visualizations for real-time autonomous vehicle coordination and mission planning interfaces
- Build high-performance data visualization systems using Deck.gl to render millions of sensor data points, telemetry streams, and geospatial information
- Create gaming-inspired UI interactions including RTS-style vehicle selection, minimap systems, context-sensitive controls, and real-time asset tracking displays
- Optimize rendering performance for browser-based applications handling continuous streams of sensor data, video feeds, and telemetry from autonomous vehicle fleets
- Implement WebAssembly modules for performance-critical calculations and real-time data processing in gaming-style interfaces
- Develop interactive 2D/3D mapping systems with real-time overlays for mission planning, route visualization, and operational area displays
- Build responsive, touch-capable interfaces that function across desktop and tablet form factors for field deployment scenarios
- Create data visualization pipelines that transform raw autonomous system telemetry into actionable operator insights and mission-critical displays
- Implement custom WebGL shaders for specialized military sensor data visualization and real-time geographic information display
- Collaborate with backend engineers to optimize data streaming protocols and minimize latency for real-time command and control operations
- Ensure interface performance and reliability through comprehensive testing frameworks and automated performance monitoring

## Required Qualifications
- 4+ years of professional frontend development experience with emphasis on data visualization and high-performance web applications
- Expert-level proficiency in **JavaScript/TypeScript** and modern frontend frameworks (**React**, **Vue**, or **Angular**)
- Strong experience with **WebGL** programming, 3D graphics libraries (**Three.js**, **Babylon.js**), and GPU-based rendering optimization
- Proficiency with **Deck.gl** or similar large-scale data visualization frameworks for rendering massive datasets
- Experience with real-time data streaming and **WebSocket**-based applications for live data visualization
- Knowledge of **WebAssembly** integration for performance-critical frontend calculations and data processing
- Understanding of 3D mathematics, coordinate systems, and geospatial data transformations for mapping applications
- Experience with canvas-based rendering, animation systems, and performance optimization techniques for data-intensive applications
- Familiarity with modern build tools, bundlers, and deployment pipelines for complex frontend applications

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with gaming industry UI development or game engine frontend systems (**Unity**, **WebGL**, **Unreal Engine** web deployment)
- Background in military command and control interfaces, situational awareness displays, or defense visualization systems
- Knowledge of geospatial visualization libraries (**Mapbox GL**, **Cesium**, **Leaflet**) and real-time mapping applications
- Experience with computer graphics programming, shader development, and advanced WebGL techniques
- Familiarity with autonomous vehicle data formats, sensor fusion visualization, and robotics middleware (**ROS2**)
- Understanding of performance profiling tools, memory management, and optimization techniques for browser-based 3D applications
- Experience with touch and gesture-based interfaces for tablet and mobile deployment scenarios
- Knowledge of military standards for user interfaces (**MIL-STD-1472**) and defense visualization requirements
- Background in real-time data processing, streaming architectures, and low-latency visualization systems
- Previous work with mission-critical interfaces where system reliability and performance are non-negotiable
