Job description

Customer & Solutions · Ottawa, Ontario, Canada · Full-time · Mid level

The role is about taking a new defence software product into real use with Canadian customers, from mapping how users work to guiding step by step delivery. A strong candidate can talk comfortably with both frontline users and engineers, has some programming or technical background, and makes sound calls when things are unclear. Regular travel, on-site work with customers and a willingness to go through Canadian security screening are part of the job.

How it fits the AI era

Arondite builds software that coordinates robots, sensors and autonomous systems, so AI sits close to the heart of what customers will be using. AI tools can speed up analysis of field feedback and help draft plans, but the role still depends on earning trust with operators, judging what is safe and useful in the field, and deciding which problems to solve first. Those judgment and relationship skills stay human.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this role would see first hand how autonomous systems and mission software perform in real operations, and learn where AI helps users and where it falls short. To build that experience beforehand, it helps to try simple projects with drones, sensor data or workflow automation, and to follow how Canadian defence groups are adopting autonomy. Practice explaining technical limits to non-technical users.

Worth showing

• Customer-facing technical work
• Programming or scripting ability
• Working in regulated environments
• Clear communication with engineers
• Calm decisions under pressure
