The Perception Engineer will develop, train, and deploy perception models, manage data pipelines, and integrate multi-modal sensor data for real-time detection and tracking of a laser-based defense system.

Lead technical architecture and execution across mechanical, electrical, power, and embedded hardware from prototype to production. Make high-impact technical decisions, perform hands-on debugging, set design and release standards, and mentor engineers by example while balancing cost, mass, reliability, schedule, and field performance.

The Optomechanical Engineer will design and validate optical subsystems, work on precision hardware, and support field testing of directed energy systems.

As a Sr. Controls Engineer, you'll own the architecture and tuning of precision control loops, manage sensor inputs, apply state estimation, and validate controls through hands-on robotics work in a defense tech environment.

Lead cross-disciplinary engineering from R&D to production for an autonomous directed-energy weapon system. Own technical direction, field testing, systems integration, and scaling the engineering organization while translating mission requirements into deliverables.

Build and maintain production robotics software across perception, control, and autonomy. Own CI/CD and hardware-in-the-loop testing, write automated tests, perform code review, and improve QA practices to ensure field reliability. Collaborate cross-functionally with embedded and EE teams and support weekly field tests.

The Senior Machine Learning Engineer will lead the perception stack, focusing on detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion for targeting systems, with responsibilities including model development and real-time optimization on embedded devices.

Lead the architecture and technical direction for the robotics software stack, ensuring formal release processes and cross-functional alignment. Mentor the robotics team, focusing on code quality and deployment to end users.

The Hardware Engineer will develop and validate thermal solutions, perform stress analyses, create CAD models, and conduct prototyping and testing for a laser weapon system.
