Jonathan Cox is a Senior Software Engineering Manager in San Diego with eight years of industry experience and a Master’s in Computer Science from Clemson. A Navy veteran, he has blended hands-on engineering and product leadership across games, embedded systems, and startups—rising from software engineer roles at Sony Online/Daybreak to CTO of a vendor-risk startup and engineering program lead at NetBurner. At Shield AI he now leads teams building core middleware for autonomous platforms, focusing on the intersection of product strategy and low-level technical excellence. Known for moving between deep technical delivery and cross-functional program management, he brings a pragmatic, mission-oriented approach shaped by military discipline and diverse domain experience.
