Swarm Aero is a developer and manufacturer of uncrewed aerial systems built from the ground up for swarming operations. The company combines on-aircraft autonomy, a universal swarm node (sensor mesh and edge compute), and swarm-scale command-and-control so small teams can mobilize large numbers of UAVs in communications-limited or contested environments. Swarm Aero emphasizes high-rate composite manufacturing and concurrent factory design to scale production, and pursues both defense-focused applications (payloads in contested environments, detecting/tracking mobile assets, security/defense in depth) and civilian uses (cargo delivery, disaster response, resilient communications, environmental observation). The leadership team includes experienced aerospace engineers, high-production manufacturing leads, and senior military advisors.

📋 Description

• Develop swarming autonomy algorithms to safely perform a variety of missions across both small and large UxS. • Build and maintain track correlation and multi-target tracking systems that will immediately get real world use.. • Define the inter-robot and C2 communication protocols required to enable tactical swarm decision making on the edge. • Build the core on-vehicle software platform to allow integration of a variety of first and third-party sensors, payloads, and software modules. • Create and validate physically realistic simulations of UxS. • Train, tune, and test automatic target recognition and track management systems using the latest advancements in neural networks. • Perform electronics prototyping including troubleshooting complex mixed hardware-software systems. • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code. • Travel up to 25% of the time for onsite test and integration events.
