Join Knightwerx and help build the perception systems that enable autonomous aircraft to understand and navigate the world around them.

This is an opportunity to work on real-world autonomy challenges at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and aerospace. You’ll develop perception capabilities that transform raw sensor data into actionable intelligence, enabling autonomous systems to detect objects, understand complex environments, and make informed decisions in dynamic operating conditions.

If you’re excited by building cutting-edge AI systems that move beyond research and into operational products, you’ll have the opportunity to see your work deployed on next-generation unmanned aircraft used by both commercial and government customers., Why Knightwerx

At Knightwerx, you’ll work directly with the engineers building the UAV’s, autonomy stack, and mission systems. You’ll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to influence technical decisions that move products from concept to flight.

We’re building American-made, AI-powered unmanned systems where speed, innovation, and execution matter. Engineers here work close to the mission, close to customers, and close to the products they help create.
