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

• Build components across the autonomy stack: planning behaviors, vehicle software, sensor and payload integration, and simulation. • 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. • 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.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field. • 3+ years building soft-realtime embedded systems or robotics software. • Deep expertise in at least one systems language (C/C++, Rust, or Go). • Hands-on experience implementing robotics algorithms (path planning, state estimation, behavior trees, etc.). • Working knowledge of embedded systems (SPI/I2C/serial protocols, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, microcontroller programming). • Strong networking fundamentals (NAT, mDNS, UDP/TCP, multicast, firewall configuration). • Excellent software engineering practices with emphasis on testable, reliable code.

🏖️ 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
