Jobs at Swarm Aero

Lead IT operations and end-user support: administer Entra ID/Azure AD, Microsoft 365, Intune and Jamf; manage onboarding/offboarding, device lifecycle, software deployment, patching, asset inventory, escalated troubleshooting, and office IT. Improve processes, documentation, and scalability while supporting cloud and on-prem environments for a growing defense/aerospace startup.

Develop and optimize detection, tracking, and multi-sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman/particle filters, multi-target tracking) for resource-constrained UAVs. Train and deploy neural networks for ATR, design distributed swarm fusion, validate against flight data and simulation, and optimize models for real-time edge inference. Travel up to 25% for tests.

Define and own autonomy architecture for large-scale UAV swarms: design perception, planning, control, and inter-robot/C2 protocols; make system tradeoffs; mentor engineers; write production-quality code; support test events (up to 25% travel).

Develop on-vehicle and simulation software across the autonomy stack: planning behaviors, sensor and payload integration, embedded/vehicle platforms, realistic UxS simulation, and electronics prototyping. Ensure reliable, testable code and support onsite test/integration events (up to 25% travel).

Lead and own Legion's software roadmap, architecture, and delivery across autonomy, mission/C2, full-stack and field-deployed engineering. Build and scale the software organization, define technical standards for real-time and multi-agent systems, drive engineering execution, recruit talent, establish field feedback loops, interface with customers and investors, and adopt frontier AI tools to improve system performance and reliability.

Design, integrate, and test aircraft mechanical systems and airframe structures. Create detailed CAD models and drawings, ensure manufacturability, collaborate with manufacturing and suppliers, support prototype build and flight test, and document and present engineering analyses.

Lead customer-facing mission development for Legion command-and-control software: gather customer needs, drive productization and contracting, coordinate engineering, manage complex accounts, produce proposals and analysis, and scale mission execution across programs.

Design and implement the frontend and full-stack features for a real-time Command & Control platform that directs large heterogeneous UAV swarms. Build distributed, collaborative realtime infrastructure, visualize dense telemetry and sensor data, and own features from design through deployment with CI/CD and DevSecOps practices.

Lead structural design and development of a novel swarming UAV from concept through production: drive composite airframe sizing, laminates, joints, CAD-to-hardware deliverables, DFM, design reviews, supplier/manufacturing integration, and mentor engineering teammates.

Lead end-to-end design and development of composite aircraft structures including CAD modeling, initial sizing, structural analysis, DFM, prototype and production support, and cross-functional coordination. Establish design standards, mentor junior engineers, and ensure manufacturability and compliance with aviation and DoD certification requirements.

Own vehicle-level avionics and electrical architecture across a UAV fleet: design power distribution, wiring harnesses, connectors, and ICDs; integrate avionics with airframe; lead bench, ground, and flight integration and testing; collaborate on grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC; investigate flight-test anomalies and contribute to airworthiness documentation and flight authorization packages.

Design and build the Command & Control frontend and full-stack features for large heterogeneous UAV swarms. Develop distributed, real-time infrastructure tolerant of intermittent communications, implement UI concepts for telemetry, sensors, scheduling and data links, own features end-to-end, and maintain strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices.

Own and drive a key customer relationship, coordinate internal teams and external partners to deliver swarming UAV and Command & Control software solutions, deeply understand customer missions, demonstrate proprietary technology, travel to demos as needed, and maintain required security clearance.

Lead product strategy and roadmap for large-scale drone swarm command-and-control software. Author executable product requirements, own backlog and release process, run operator discovery, translate field feedback to roadmap, and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and external partners to deliver mission-critical, hardware-integrated systems.

Embed with U.S. government and military customers to deploy, debug, and maintain C2 software in austere operational environments. Build integrations, troubleshoot distributed systems, contribute to core services, write full-stack code, support on-call operations, and travel internationally to ensure mission-ready reliability.

Own and administer Siemens Teamcenter PLM for a fast-moving aerospace program: install, configure, upgrade, and support Teamcenter and CAD integrations (NX). Configure BOMs, workflows, change management, access controls, and user training. Troubleshoot PLM issues, collaborate with engineers and IT, and drive continuous PLM process improvements and documentation.

Maintain and refine system architecture; author and manage system requirements and ICDs; lead multi-discipline integration and MBSE efforts; support HIL/SIL testing, verification, configuration management, risk mitigation, and airworthiness documentation.

Develop and deploy onboard swarm autonomy: perception, planning, control, multi-target tracking, inter-robot/C2 protocols, on-vehicle software integration, realistic UxS simulation, train and test ML-based target recognition, and electronics prototyping. Travel for test events up to 25%.
