Mission Delivery Engineer
Mission Delivery Engineer (MDE) Location: El Segundo, CA Role Overview Kamiwaza AI is seeking a Mission Delivery Engineer (MDE) to serve as a forward-deployed, hands-on technical leader for U.S. federal customers. You will own the technical journey from pre-sales discovery and proof-of-value (PoV) demos of custom applications on the Kamiwaza platform through production implementation and successful hand-off to the customer or an integration partner. This role is built for a builder who is also consultative and delivery-minded: you can run discovery, quantify value, tell a compelling technical story, write real code, and then harden what you built so it can operate reliably in mission environments (including constrained, disconnected, or air-gapped deployments). This is not a pure presentation role and not a back-office engineering role. It is an end-to-end mission delivery role that combines pre-sales technical execution with post-sale implementation, operationalization, enablement, and structured handover. Core Mission - Accelerate federal adoption of Kamiwaza by translating high-value mission use cases into credible PoVs and demo experiences, and then converting the successful PoVs into production-ready deployments and repeatable delivery patterns that reduce risk, increase win rate, and improve time-to-mission impact.
