About Dominion Dynamics
At Dominion Dynamics, we are pioneering Canada's foremost modern defence prime, characterized by software-defined, attritable, and sovereign technologies. Our vision is that the future of military strength will depend less on traditional, high-cost platforms, and more on the cohesive operation of agile, AI-enhanced capabilities across all domains. We are crafting a comprehensive family of systems that prioritize operational effectiveness and adhere to Canada's democratic principles.
Our pace is rapid, often collaborating with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), particularly in the Arctic, while maintaining the utmost respect for Canadian laws and treaty obligations. Our founding team consists of veterans from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces, and we are seeking system-level thinkers who are excited to work at the nexus of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.
Why This Role Matters
As Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy evolves, excellence in procurement will be crucial in determining which organizations will define sovereign capabilities for future generations. This position is vital for ensuring that Dominion Dynamics can adeptly navigate, influence, and execute within Canada’s federal defence procurement framework with accuracy, speed, and trustworthiness. As we expand, a disciplined approach to capture and procurement strategies is essential for enhancing Arctic and allied capabilities while ensuring compliance.
