OKSI builds electro-optical/infrared sensors with embedded AI for autonomous defense platforms, running a Jetson, TensorRT, CUDA and PyTorch edge-inference stack alongside ArduPilot and QGroundControl for uncrewed vehicle control. Security tooling like ARM TrustZone, UEFI Secure Boot, HSM and AWS KMS, plus recurring CMMC themes in job posts, shows product hardening and compliance are now central to accelerating, engineering-led hiring.
OKSI is a privately held defense technology company headquartered in Torrance, CA, founded in 1991 and employing 51–200 people. It develops custom EO/IR sensing systems integrated with AI/ML, with specialties spanning hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, night vision, image fusion, video-based navigation and remote sensing. Its work supports defense and homeland security customers across land, space and undersea applications. Hardware design runs on SolidWorks, Altium Designer and FPGAs, while business operations use Unanet, Odoo and Paylocity.
OKSI uses PyTorch, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, CUDA and NVIDIA Jetson for edge AI, ArduPilot and QGroundControl for autonomy, C++, Python and MATLAB, plus FPGAs, Altium Designer, SolidWorks and AWS.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating and engineering is the dominant department, with additional openings in security, finance, manufacturing and sales, mostly at mid and senior levels, all in the United States.
Job posts point to real-time mission operations, an EO/IR systems program, autonomous command and control, object detection, a CMMC compliance program and product signing and key management infrastructure.
