Jobs at Swarm Aero

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.

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 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.

Lead IT security architect responsible for AWS security architecture, compliance (NIST 800-171/CMMC), and GovCloud IL5/IL6 deployments. Maintain SSP, POA&Ms, evidence, and remediation tracking; coordinate with auditors and customer ISSM/ISSO; partner with DevSecOps and Engineering to implement secure baselines, logging, monitoring, encryption, segmentation, vulnerability management, and incident response for regulated environments.

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.

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).

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).

Design and integrate aircraft electrical and avionics systems: power distribution, wire harness routing, connector selection, load analysis, and EMI/EMC mitigation. Create schematics, wiring diagrams, and ICDs, support flight test anomaly investigations, collaborate with structures/mechanical/systems teams, and contribute to airworthiness and flight authorization documentation.

Build and run the company's accounting function end-to-end: monthly close, GAAP financials, cost accounting for hardware manufacturing (inventory, WIP, standard costs), ERP administration, government contract accounting (FAR/DFARS, CLINs), DCAA audit readiness, AP/payroll, internal controls, and support audits and FP&A.

Embed with U.S. government and military customers to deploy, integrate, debug, and maintain C2 software in austere operational environments. Build integrations, troubleshoot distributed systems, contribute to core services, support on-call and nonstandard hours, and travel extensively to ensure mission reliability and deliver field-driven product improvements.

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.

Lead FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, investor and board reporting, financial modeling, and core finance operations. Partner with ops, engineering, and supply chain on cost, inventory, and decision-support. Establish KPIs, dashboards, controls, and collaborate on month-end close and fundraising support.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.
