Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Perform finite element modeling and analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV structures; validate results with hand calculations; support structural test planning, data analysis, load definition, and cross-functional design optimization to ensure lightweight, safe airframe performance.

Lead and grow a small autonomy engineering team to design, integrate, validate, and field autonomy software for launched effects. Own delivery, hiring, mentoring, technical direction, ICDs, pre-deployment validation, live test support, hardware/software debugging, and cross-team collaboration for multi-agent and air-gapped fleet deployments.

Support avionics electrical engineering for the X-BAT across design, verification, procurement, manufacturing, and test. Perform benchtop testing with multimeter, oscilloscope, electronic load, and thermal chamber; design basic test fixtures, wire harnesses, and simple PCBs; rework boards to 0402; read and interpret schematics; collaborate on multidisciplinary hardware projects and drive project ownership and delivery.

Design and implement high-quality C/C++ embedded avionics software for X-Bat UAVs. Lead cross-functional teams, own features from design to production, integrate firmware and autonomy systems, and develop HIL/virtualized test environments. Produce architecture and test documentation, build CI/test tools, prototype concepts, and ensure reliability, safety, and compliance for aerospace deployments.

Become an expert in the Hivemind autonomy stack, create and deliver hands-on technical training, develop training materials and documentation, support customer debugging, and collaborate with product and engineering to improve adoption and training practices. Role includes ~30% travel for in-person customer engagements.

Design and own flight-critical avionics subsystems for X-BAT including architecture, schematic/layout, verification, qualification, integration, and manufacturing. Work on mixed-signal systems (high-speed digital, FPGA, analog, power, RF), lead test/qualification campaigns, troubleshoot integrations, mentor teammates, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to automate manufacturing test solutions.

Serve as the electrical SME for V-BAT fleet support, diagnose and troubleshoot avionics, power-distribution, harness, connector, and intermittent electrical issues, coordinate across avionics, software, and RF teams, maintain schematics and troubleshooting docs, and develop field-ready repair guides and feedback to design and quality teams.

Provide technical ownership for V-BAT airframe and structural sustainment across the fielded fleet. Evaluate damage, fatigue, corrosion, and failures; recommend repairs, inspections, replacements, or escalations. Develop and approve repair instructions, inspection criteria, and service guidance. Partner with Fleet Support, Quality, Manufacturing, MRB, and Configuration Management to ensure safe, documented, and executable sustainment outcomes.

Lead and mentor a team integrating and validating the Hivemind autonomy platform across SIL, HIL, and flight environments. Drive architecture and tooling for integration, review logs/telemetry/rosbags, triage cross-system defects, partner with Engineering/Product/Program teams, and ensure capabilities meet product and customer requirements while remaining hands-on in system integration and debugging.

Design and test wire harnesses and cable assemblies for autonomous UAVs. Perform electrical and environmental analysis, prototype and test harnesses, and collaborate with avionics, systems, and manufacturing teams for integration and reliability.
