Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning Radio-Frequency Identification Signal Processing Software Engineering

Job description

  • A true co-founder role - equity and salary
  • Initial funding already secured
  • Patented core technology as a defensible foundation
  • Existing commercial relationships with UAV manufacturers
  • Established relationships within government
  • The chance to build the technical foundation of the company from a position of real traction, not from zero

Requirements

A technical co-founder who is genuinely comfortable across both software and hardware - this is a rare combination, but it’s exactly what the problem demands:

  • Strong software engineering background with real AI/ML experience (from research through to production systems)
  • Hardware fluency across sensors, RF systems, and motion/tracking technologies
  • Experience in aviation, UAV/drone systems, or related aerospace fields is a strong plus
  • Comfortable operating at the systems level - where perception, signal processing, and physical hardware all have to work together
  • Founder mentality: ownership, resourcefulness, and the ability to move fast without sacrificing rigor
