Sr. Robotics Software Engineer
Who We Are:
Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.
We're a small team of engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system.
Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate, small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.
In addition to our San Francisco lab, we've opened a Detroit manufacturing hub and we field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range.
The Role and Your Impact:
We need a Senior Robotics Software Engineer who's a true workhorse on the Archimedes robotics stack. Writing real production code across perception, control, and autonomy, and raising the bar on how we ship. You'll work directly alongside our Lead Software Engineer and our Principal Robotics SWE, contributing meaningfully to the stack while championing the QA and CI/CD practices that keep fielded software reliable.
