Job Description

About Us Asylon is building the future of automated physical security Founded by aerospace engineers out of MIT, Asylon exists to solve one of the world's most fundamental problems: protecting people, property, and assets at scale. We design and deploy integrated robotics, software, and AI systems that operate continuously in the real world—where reliability is critical and failure is not an option. Our technology is already protecting lives and infrastructure every day. The Asylon team brings deep roots in aerospace, defense, and mission-critical engineering, with experience spanning military aviation, naval defense platforms, and advanced commercial systems. That heritage shapes how we work: high standards, disciplined execution, and uncompromising integrity. We build and operate systems that deliver real outcomes for real customers. We are assembling a team of engineers, operators, and leaders who want their work to matter—people who thrive in demanding environments, take pride in craftsmanship, and take ownership of results. At Asylon, you will help build category-defining technology, push the boundaries of what autonomous systems can do, and set the standard for an entirely new industry. Our Product

Automated Physical Security Our full-stack solution enables autonomous aerial and ground robots to operate persistently alongside human security teams—providing continuous situational awareness, rapid response capabilities, and actionable intelligence at scale.

We believe the future of security is not humans or machines. It is humans + machines + AI working together—amplifying coverage, improving decision-making, and reducing risk. Our platform transforms robots from experimental tools into dependable security assets. Deployed at customer sites today, Asylon systems conduct routine patrols, respond to incidents, and integrate directly into security operations—extending the reach of teams and fundamentally changing how physical security is delivered.
