Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, develop, and maintain ground control and mission-planning software for the X-BAT platform. Build full-stack, low-latency, fault-tolerant systems for telemetry fusion, operator UIs (React/TypeScript), communication interfaces, and integrations with autonomy and flight teams. Lead feature development, write well-tested code, and collaborate across embedded, UX, and flight-test teams to deliver field-ready solutions.

Translate product user stories into clear, testable engineering requirements for the Hivemind SDK. Define, model, and validate system behavior, maintain requirements traceability, support system modeling with SysML/Cameo, and collaborate with Product, QA, and engineering to ensure requirements are implemented and verified.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for next-generation UAVs from concept through production. Perform CAD modeling, hand calculations, limited FEA, generate drawings and documentation, support testing and validation, collaborate cross-functionally with propulsion, avionics, manufacturing, and flight test, and iterate designs for manufacturability and integration.

Lead design and execution of mechanical and structural test plans, build and operate hydraulic test fixtures, integrate and calibrate sensors, automate data collection and analysis with Python, produce technical reports, perform CAD design and collaborate across engineering teams to validate hardware performance.

Lead design, development, and testing of a deployable launch and recovery system for a next-generation UAS. Create CAD models and manufacturing drawings, perform structural, thermal, and fatigue analyses, oversee prototyping and validation, integrate launcher with aircraft systems, and support flight test campaigns and supplier production for field-deployable military operations.

Lead design and integration of secure, low-latency communication systems for autonomous aircraft, including RF, SATCOM, SDR, and tactical data links. Define system requirements, optimize encrypted data links, enable connectivity between airborne, ground, and satellite systems, develop AI-driven sensor fusion, validate performance via simulation and flight testing, and ensure DoD compliance and mission readiness.

Design, analyze, and integrate avionics thermal management for unmanned aircraft. Perform heat transfer and CFD modeling, support trade studies and hardware design, plan and execute thermal tests, correlate models with data, and communicate findings to stakeholders.

Hands-on role integrating and flight-testing Hivemind autonomy across Group 1-3 aircraft. Responsibilities include bench and flight bring-up, debugging autonomy/flight controllers/radios, building test tools and automation in Python/C++, developing hardware interfaces, running SIL/HIL/VIL and live flight tests, analyzing data, and improving test infrastructure in collaboration with software, hardware, and flight teams.

Develop, integrate, and field autonomy software for unmanned platforms; lead a small technical team through design-to-deployment; author ICDs; perform hardware/software debugging, system bring-up, simulation testing, and mission support; mentor engineers and coordinate with internal teams and external integrators. Travel ~10-20%.
