Introduction

About the Role

Build the world’s most advanced interceptor drones

We are redefining aerial defense. Our Counter‑UAS interceptor is a rocket‑boosted, all‑electric drone capable of 400 km/h, delivering 10 kW peak power through an in‑house developed powertrain. Designed from day one for mass production at scale, this platform represents a new class of high‑performance, modular UAV systems.

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to take this technological powerhouse from advanced prototype to tens of thousands of units produced globally.
