Careers.
We do not have funded openings posted today. We build counter-UAS interceptors and sensors, and when funding lands we would rather already know who we want to call. If the work sounds like yours, send us a note and we will stay in touch.
Working Here
We are based in Fayetteville, Georgia. Some roles will work remote and some will need hands on hardware once hardware exists, and we will be straight with you about which is which.
You will own a subsystem
Nobody hands you a bounded ticket. You take a domain, its open questions, and the job of defending it in front of a customer.
We are pre-hardware
The work today is design and analysis. Building starts when a contract funds it. If you need to be turning wrenches this quarter, this is not that job yet.
Careful about what we claim
Modeled results get called modeled, and nothing is written as tested until it has been tested. That discipline matters here more than speed does.
Disciplines.
and Control
Flight dynamics, aerodynamic modeling, autopilot design, and state estimation for a small guided round.
Airframe
Solid rocket motor integration, structural design and qualification, and the mechanical work around carriage and release.
Flight Software
Real-time flight code, sensor interfaces, and computer vision running on embedded hardware under hard timing constraints.
Radar and electro-optical sensor design, antenna integration, and sensor fusion inside a tight size, weight, and power budget.
Manufacturing
Instrumentation, environmental and flight test, and the path from prototype to producible hardware at cost.
Programme
Government contracting, proposal and cost volume work, compliance, and supply chain management.
Tell us who you are.
This goes straight to the founder. We read everything that comes in. We will not have a role for most people who write, and we will say so rather than leave you waiting.
Eligibility
Some roles will involve access to export-controlled technical data. Where that applies, the role may require U.S. person status as defined under ITAR 22 CFR 120.62 and the EAR at 15 CFR 772.1, and some work may require eligibility for a security clearance. We will tell you which constraints apply before you invest time in a process.

If you would rather just send an email, that reaches the same person.
