Sr Manufacturing Engineer

El Segundo, CA

Our client is transforming a defense industry mired in costly, behemoth machinery to circumvent a looming vulnerability gap, to give dismounted soldiers a fighting chance against tanks, and ultimately, to reduce the number of humans on the battlefield as much as possible.

While consumer technology is evolving rapidly on the path of smaller, cheaper, and better, U.S. defense technology remains entrenched in the large, centralized, and wildly expensive paradigm. Our air, land, and sea machinery budget is staggering; yet these large assets can still be vulnerable to very small weapons. When swarm technology comes into its own, the asymmetry will escalate. Nowhere is the pattern more glaring than in small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS)drones.

We are obsessive about vertical integration, developing a full suite of technologies including custom radios, compute, power electronics, ground stations and more.

Our client has an engineering-first culture that allows engineers to build the systems of their dreams.
