Jobs at Sphere Defense

Design, develop, and test high-performance, low-latency embedded software for autonomous countermeasures. Bring up hardware with the electronics team, implement device drivers and user-space applications, integrate sensors, establish CI/CD/QA pipelines, debug systems, and mentor team members in a mission-critical defense environment.

Design, develop, document and test production-grade perception pipelines for detection, identification, and tracking. Integrate and fuse multi-modal sensor data (EO/IR, IMU, radar, lasers), work hands-on with hardware, mentor team members, and produce optimized C++/Python code for autonomous countermeasure systems.

Design, implement, validate and tune flight control systems for high-speed autonomous countermeasure vehicles. Build HIL/SIL simulations, work hands-on with hardware, document designs, mentor teammates, and integrate sensors and flight controllers to deliver production-grade autonomous flight systems.

Lead design, development, and testing of small unmanned VTOL fixed-wing aircraft including airframes, actuators and propulsion. Collaborate with flight control, coordinate wind tunnel/CFD testing and external suppliers, build and test prototypes, draft design documentation, and mentor the team.

Design, develop, bring-up and test high-speed digital and analog electronic systems and PCBs for autonomous countermeasures. Produce production documentation, lead design reviews, troubleshoot prototypes, and support validation, certification, and manufacturing handoff.

Design, implement, and test high-performance autonomous software and perception for flying countermeasures. Integrate sensors, build simulations/digital twins, work close to hardware, establish CI/CD, document designs, and mentor teammates.

Lead design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and validation of small-scale jet engines for UAS. Own end-to-end turbomachinery development, integrate engines with aeronautics, scale production, and grow a jet engine design team.

Design, implement, and test high-performance embedded software for autonomous countermeasures. Bring up hardware, integrate sensors, develop device drivers and user-space applications, establish CI/CD, debug systems, and mentor team members.
