About This Client – The World’s First Group 5 UAV Swarm
Our client is building the world’s first Group 5 UAV swarm – composed of a new, innovative type of aircraft. They’re creating the highest production-rate aircraft since WW2, and that means pioneering approaches to aerostructure design & manufacturing (highest production rate composite aircraft ever), swarm communications / avionics, and swarm tactics / software. It’s an exciting time to join their team; with over $20M in funding and tech that earned them the highest defense seed funding of 2023, there’s strong momentum as they move towards our Series A.
Their team has years of aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Stratolaunch, Airbus Vahana, Airflow, MIT JHO, Uber Elevate, Boeing, and Embraer X. They have previously put together billions in tech deals involving DOD and built software platforms supporting millions of users, cutting edge AI, and ultra-low latency trading.
Our client is looking for a world-class Composite Structures Engineer to join their team. As a structures designer, you will be responsible for designing and testing flight vehicles.
