These systems include Group 1-3 UAS, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and maritime platforms tailored for defense, public safety, and government customers. Our System-on-Modules (SOMs) enable real-time perception, autonomy, and secure mission processing for applications such as ISR, force protection, perimeter security, and contested-environment operations.

Conduct market, product, and technology research across UAV, edge compute modules, payload ecosystems, and competing drone compute platforms; perform competitive analysis to inform the compute roadmap and identify differentiated solutions that increase market penetration.
Translate customer and program requirements into clear product requirements, reference architectures, and solution briefs for internal engineering and product teams.
Support marketing and business development efforts, including providing technical input for UAV-focused product launches, participating in defense and UAV industry events, and developing technical collateral, demos, and customer success narratives tied to real platforms and deployments.

Demonstrated experience working with drone OEMs, defense primes, or system integrators on deployed or program-of-record platforms.
Strong technical understanding of UAV system architecture, including onboard compute, sensors, flight control, and ground control integration.
Experience supporting design-ins or platform selections for embedded compute, SOMs, or related technologies.
Ability to credibly engage with engineering teams and defense customers on architecture, trade-offs, and performance constraints.
