CAREERS-00 / JOIN
Work on systems that go where nothing else can.
Early-stage defense tech startup in El Segundo. Small founding team on a technically distinct problem — autonomous sensor systems for environments where conventional sensing doctrine breaks down. Physical hardware, harsh environments, GPS-denied operation. Not enterprise software. Not AI application layer. If you want high leverage on a hard sensor problem, read on.
ROLES-01 / OPEN POSITIONS
Open positions.
All roles are based in El Segundo, CA. Some field deployment travel is expected for engineering roles (testing sites in Nevada, Arizona, and Southwest California). US citizenship or eligibility for ITAR-controlled program work is required for all positions.
Senior Embedded Systems Engineer
Own the sensor node firmware — ADC acquisition and acoustic signal chain, on-device inference for the classification model, 915 MHz LoRa mesh comm protocol, and sub-5 mW idle power management for 72h battery targets. C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M class processors. Comfortable with real-time sensor data at kHz sampling rates. Sub-GHz mesh networking experience is directly relevant.
RF / Acoustic Signal Processing Engineer
Improve our acoustic classification models and GPR signal processing pipeline. Strong background in DSP for real-time applications — FFT, beamforming, matched filtering. Experience with seismic or acoustic geophysical data processing is ideal. You should be comfortable with both algorithm design and on-device deployment constraints.
Field Integration Specialist
Lead field test deployments and customer evaluation engagements. You are the person who runs the sensor mesh at the test site — emplacing nodes, configuring the C2 terminal, running the test protocol, and documenting results. Background in tactical systems fieldwork, EOD support, or underground/confined-space operations is directly relevant.
