At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees , we operate with startup agility and ambition. Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role Working with avionics means working at the heart of the vehicle — the core that connects and enables every other subsystem. This role is inherently collaborative, bridging (GNC), software, mechanical, and thermal disciplines to create a unified platform with the required defense capabilities. Every function depends on a robust and compatible avionics architecture, where everything needs to be developed and extensively tested, making this position critical to the vehicle's overall performance and mission success. It's a uniquely challenging role that balances diverse technical demands focused on electronics & software, that integrates complex systems, and ensures every component works together seamlessly to deliver cutting-edge unmanned capabilities. Key Responsibilities Development and integration of Avionics systems Define and maintain functionality of avionics systems with vehicle, system iterations and updates Develop and manage high-level block diagrams to represent system functions and interfaces Collaborate closely with vehicle teams to define electrical and system requirements Design and provide technical support for Iron-birds, prototypes, and special projects Troubleshooting avionics systems in both hardware and software, and developing effective solutions Integration and testing of new systems, sensors, and subsystems with current avionics into new vehicle prototypes, ensuring functionality and compatibility. Designing and supporting post integration configurations and checks for avionics systems Creating processes and procedures for the above, and providing training to technicians Ability to run tradeoffs of different systems, subsystems, and components Required Qualifications 1-4 years of experience with unmanned aerial systems
