Teams at Swarm Aero

Own top-of-funnel sourcing for software engineering roles, including backend, frontend, autonomy, and forward-deployed positions. Within the first year, expand into sourcing aircraft talent across propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, and production. Responsibilities include researching candidates on GitHub, writing personalized outreach, building effective searches, managing requisitions, maintaining accurate recruiting data, and partnering directly with hiring managers in a fast-paced defense technology startup.

Architect and build backend systems for a real-time Command and Control platform directing large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft. Develop distributed infrastructure for mission control despite intermittent communications, ingest and process high-throughput telemetry and sensor data, and manage scheduling and data links. Own backend features from design through deployment while supporting reliability, scalability, CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices.

Lead the design and development of major aircraft composite structures, including wings, fuselage sections, empennage, and bonded assemblies. Define structural architecture, laminate strategies, joints, load paths, tooling, and assembly approaches. Mentor structures engineers, collaborate with stress and manufacturing teams, and drive designs through PDR, CDR, first article, structural testing, and first flight. The role is hands-on, onsite in Oxnard, California, and requires experience with large-scale aircraft structures and full development cycles.
