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

• Create the future of large-scale drone swarm command and control for the most powerful military ever. • Own the swarm software product roadmap at Swarm Aero. This includes C2 and autonomy across multiple domains. Define operational requirements and strategic priorities and process them into an optimal roadmap • Drive alignment between product vision, engineering capacity, and real-world operator needs, resolving conflicts with data and judgement • Author product requirements that engineering, QA, and mission teams can execute against without hand-holding, including edge cases, failure modes, and acceptance criteria • Own the backlog : sprint planning and sequencing decisions made in active partnership with stakeholders • Drive the release process from definition through deployment, including test planning, rollout, and post-release review • Drive operator & customer understanding at Swarm Aero. Lead discovery sessions with operators, mission planners, and integration partners to surface needs and validate assumptions. Logically develop new and creative solutions to key challenges and anticipate expensive mistakes. • Translate field observations and operator feedback into roadmap decisions with clear rationale • Serve as the connective tissue between engineering, QA, and executive leadership • Identify and partner with strategic external vendors and partners. Define goals and interfaces and manage dependency risk

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years as a Product Manager owning a complex, technically deep product • Shipped software in a mission-critical or operationally sensitive context where failure had real consequences (defense, aerospace, robotics, autonomy, industrial control systems, or equivalent) • Written PRDs for distributed systems, hardware-integrated software, or real-time data pipelines that engineers shipped from without significant re-interpretation • Managed competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups in a high-ambiguity environment and made the call rather than deferred it • Directly conducted operator or end-user discovery interviews and demonstrably changed roadmap direction based on what you learned • Owned the post-release evaluation of features against defined success metrics and acted on what you found

🏖️ 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
