Autonomous UAV systems for defense, security, and infrastructure missions
Atlas designs and manufactures autonomous UAV systems for defense and security institutions across the U.S., EU, and Asia. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first, real-time systems company: C++, Linux, ARM/AVR microcontrollers, ROS 2, and custom autopilot firmware dominate, paired with React/WebSocket front-ends for mission control. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (mid- and senior-level) focused on core software, low-latency infrastructure, and sensor integration—matching their stated pain points around performance, scalability, and system stability.
