Assistant Controller

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

The Opportunity

Swarm Aero builds autonomous aircraft and the software that commands them. We're on funded programs, we're standing up manufacturing across Oxnard and Northwest Arkansas, and we're hiring our first Controller to build the accounting function underneath all of it.

This is not a caretaker role. You will build the function from the ground up: the close process, the controls, the systems, and the playbook that everything after you gets built on. You will own the numbers for a hardware company, which means real cost accounting, real inventory, and real government contract compliance from day one.
