Systems Safety Engineer
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.
Swarm Aero is building large, autonomous, swarming UAS for operations at scale in contested environments. Safety isn't a checkbox for us - it's a design input. We need a System Safety Engineer who can architect safety into the design, someone who can work directly with engineering teams to mitigate hazards and ensure our aircraft fail gracefully when things go wrong.
