Unmanned aerial systems and payloads for defense and homeland security
Aeronautics Group manufactures unmanned aerial systems and integrated defense solutions, with a tech stack anchored in embedded systems (C++, MATLAB, Simulink, Ardupilot) and Windows infrastructure. The hiring profile—heavily skewed toward senior and lead engineers (9 of 12 open roles) concentrated in engineering—reflects acute scaling pressure: active projects span UAV platform development, flight control systems, simulation, and certification workflows, all while navigating the critical transition from development to production. Multidisciplinary coordination and tight budget constraints appear as recurring friction points.
