Software Engineer (Autonomy, Perception, Frontend) - REMOTE (US)

Valkyrie Aero · REMOTE (US)

Unknown Remote via HN: Who is hiring?

Description

Valkyrie Aero | Software Engineer (Autonomy, Perception, Frontend) | REMOTE (US) | Contract | U.S. Citizens | https://valkyrieaero.com

Valkyrie Aero is a DoD prime contractor. We're building an airborne system for a manned counter-drone aircraft (that we operate) to enable a crew to find and engage Group 2-3 drones at low cost. Hiring contract software engineers for three roles:

- Software Engineer, Autonomy

- Software Engineer, Perception

- Software Engineer, Frontend (HMI)

We’re a small team (for now) so this isn’t your traditional defense program. Bureaucracy kept to the absolute minimum. If you can work across more than one of these domains that’s a huge plus.

I'm on the engineering team and read every application myself. I do not use AI to screen your applications and will read and reply to every single one; but please don’t send over walls of LLM generated text, I’d much rather be communicating with humans!

Apply: https://valkyrie-aero.breezy.hr/ and mention HN in your application.
