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

• Train, tune, and test automatic target recognition and track management systems using the latest advancements in neural networks. • Develop multi-sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms (Kalman filters, particle filters, multi-target tracking) running onboard resource-constrained vehicles. • Design distributed fusion approaches that combine tracks across the swarm into a single coherent picture. • Rigorously characterize algorithm performance against real-world flight data and simulation. • Optimize models and estimators for real-time inference on edge compute. • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code. • Travel up to 25% of the time for onsite test and integration events.

🎯 Requirements

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related field, or equivalent depth of applied experience. • Demonstrated expertise in estimation theory and multi-target tracking (Kalman/particle filters, JPDA, MHT, random finite sets, or similar). • Hands-on deep learning experience (training, evaluation, and deployment of neural networks for detection or classification). • Strong programming skills in C++, Rust, Go, and/or Python. • Track record of taking algorithms from research to deployment on a real system. • Publications or deployed work in ATR, multi-sensor fusion, or distributed estimation (preferred). • Experience with EO/IR, radar, or RF sensor processing on aerial platforms (preferred). • Experience deploying ML models to embedded or edge hardware (TensorRT, ONNX, quantization) (preferred). • Familiarity with defense sensing and tracking problem domains (preferred).

🏖️ Benefits

• Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k • PTO and paid sick leave • Monthly wellness stipend • Daily catered lunch (office) • Paid parental leave • Direct impact on a critical national security mission • A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
