Jobs at Aurelius Systems

Leads customer engagement and execution for government and industry defense programs from award through demonstration, delivery, and fielding. Owns schedules, budgets, milestones, risks, contractual commitments, customer relationships, cross-functional coordination, demonstrations, test events, deployments, reporting, and proposal support. Requires strong defense acquisition knowledge, program leadership, communication, and the ability to manage complex priorities in a fast-growing defense technology company.

Own Aurelius Systems’ visual identity and content strategy across YouTube, X, and launch campaigns. Shoot, edit, and publish factory, field-test, founder, product, and long-form film content end to end. Build the company’s brand and narrative around directed-energy defense technology while working closely with engineers and leadership. The role requires frequent travel to Detroit, San Francisco, range sites, and demonstrations, with occasional extended hours during major tests and launches.

Owns mechanical subsystems for ruggedized, field-deployable directed-energy systems, including laser enclosures, beam directors, mounts, thermal management, and precision optomechanical packaging. Performs FEA, builds and runs test rigs, validates systems against shock and environmental standards, correlates models to testing, and supports manufacturing handoff. The role requires hands-on prototype-to-production experience, cross-functional collaboration, field testing, and mentorship of junior engineers.

Manage executive and team calendaring, administer office software and subscriptions, maintain internal documentation and knowledge bases, support internal communications and process management, run company-wide administrative systems and workflows, and provide cross-functional project support alongside Ops for physical-digital coordination.

The Perception Engineer will develop, train, and deploy perception models, manage data pipelines, and integrate multi-modal sensor data for real-time detection and tracking of a laser-based defense system.

Lead technical architecture and execution across mechanical, electrical, power, and embedded hardware from prototype to production. Make high-impact technical decisions, perform hands-on debugging, set design and release standards, and mentor engineers by example while balancing cost, mass, reliability, schedule, and field performance.

The Optomechanical Engineer will design and validate optical subsystems, work on precision hardware, and support field testing of directed energy systems.

As a Sr. Controls Engineer, you'll own the architecture and tuning of precision control loops, manage sensor inputs, apply state estimation, and validate controls through hands-on robotics work in a defense tech environment.

Build and maintain production robotics software across perception, control, and autonomy. Own CI/CD and hardware-in-the-loop testing, write automated tests, perform code review, and improve QA practices to ensure field reliability. Collaborate cross-functionally with embedded and EE teams and support weekly field tests.

The Senior Machine Learning Engineer will lead the perception stack, focusing on detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion for targeting systems, with responsibilities including model development and real-time optimization on embedded devices.

Lead the architecture and technical direction for the robotics software stack, ensuring formal release processes and cross-functional alignment. Mentor the robotics team, focusing on code quality and deployment to end users.

Aurelius is building autonomous robotics systems for defense, looking for various technical roles in engineering, operations, and contracts. They prioritize experience over credentials, seeking individuals who have built practical hardware or have military or operational backgrounds.
