О компании

is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.  
As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.  
We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers.  We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.

Contribute to avionic system architecture decisions and LRU selection from the start of the design cycle, providing integration and production feasibility input that directly shapes component choices, system topology and scalability from prototype to series production  
Integrate avionic LRUs onto the airframe, including mounting, harness routing, connector mating and configuration management, and collaborate with software engineers on hardware and software integration covering board bring-up, firmware flashing, interface verification and debug  
Perform system-level fault isolation across hardware, software and mechanical boundaries using schematics, ICDs, logic analysers and oscilloscopes, managing non-conformances and root cause analyses and driving corrective actions to verified closure  
Develop and execute integration and acceptance test procedures with full traceability to system and LRU-level requirements, supporting ground and flight test campaigns with hands-on troubleshooting in real time  
Own the serialisation and productionisation of avionic LRUs, developing production test procedures, acceptance criteria and workmanship standards that enable consistent, repeatable production at scale, and contribute to safety analyses including FMEA and hazard identification throughout integration and test

Будет плюсом

Familiarity with structured requirements management and design review processes within aerospace or defence programmes, including functional safety concepts in avionic system integration  
Experience contributing to DfM reviews and feeding production lessons learned back into the design process to reduce rework and improve manufacturability at scale

Have integrated avionic or electronic hardware within UAV, aerospace or defence programmes, working across architecture input, LRU selection, harness integration and configuration management with a clear understanding of how requirements flow down through subsystems  
Have taken hardware from prototype to series production, owning serialisation, productionisation and the development of workmanship standards that enable scaling without quality loss  
Can work at the hardware and software interface, with hands-on experience in embedded systems debug, firmware bring-up, log analysis and familiarity with protocols such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429  
Have planned and executed integration, acceptance and flight test campaigns, performed circuit-level fault analysis using lab equipment, and managed NCs and RCAs through to verified closure in a regulated development environment  
Act decisively with minimal guidance, own outcomes end-to-end and initiate solutions without waiting for direction  
Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically   under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
’s work is important. You’ll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns
The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world
Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward
In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts
We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about
