What is Aurelius Systems? Aurelius Systems is a directed energy company developing edge-deployed laser systems for cUAS applications We shoot down drones with laser guns

Why? The US and our allies have prepared for a world where we will be fighting increasingly large and sophisticated systems (Planes, Aircraft carriers, etc), but this world never came. The future of warfare will involve large numbers of small-scale and mass-manufacturable drones, and we aren’t prepared to defend our country from these threats abroad or domestically. Aurelius Systems has set out to address this problem by equipping the US and our allies with the systems they need to fight current and future conflicts in a scalable and cost-effective manner.

Job Description We are seeking a skilled Robotics Software Engineer to lead innovation and system integration as a member of our software team. This generalist role demands adaptability, self-direction, and a hunger to learn across a diverse range of fields. You will be responsible for everything from efficiently integrating and orchestrating the wide networks of systems, to developing novel, bespoke sensing implementations, to building test cases on the fly as you assist controls experts. It is up to you to ensure the wide array sub-systems developed by the team come together and operate as an effective drone-killing unit.

Key Responsibilities System Orchestration: Ensure all of the sub-systems across the entire stack are properly utilized. Effective sub-system integration and orchestration. Sub-System Development: Work with subject experts to create novel functionality in the domains of Machine Sensing, Computer Vision, Deep-Learning, Hardware Integration, Controls, SysID, etc Validation and Testing: Develop CI/CD pipelines and automated testing techniques to facilitate safe acceleration of technical development. HiTL test procedures. Diagnostics & Monitoring: Develop dashboards and telemetry for drift analysis, hardware health monitoring, performance metrics, and automated retraining triggers. Documentation & Mentorship: Author clear technical docs; mentor junior engineers on best practices in vision, sensor‑fusion, and embedded firmware engineering. Qualitative Goal Determination: Determines development needs by directly analysing technical and physical limitations of our goals.

Qualifications Hyper Engineer - your brain only releases dopamine when you're building Experience: 3–6 years in hardware adjacent software / robotics engineering roles Technical Skills:Proficient in C++ and Python MUST have worked with actual hardware / robotics systems Hands‑on with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and real‑time inference engines (TensorRT, OpenVINO) Familiarity with Docker, and CI/CD for ML pipelines

Education: BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or related field (PhD a plus). Soft Skills: Strong problem‑solving, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration ability.

Nice‑to‑Haves Edge‑AI optimization (quantization, pruning) Experience with FPGA or embedded GPU platforms Experience with multi‑sensor calibration and data synchronization Background in defense or safety‑critical systems Familiarity with cybersecurity guidelines and secure coding practices

Why Join Aurelius Systems? Drive innovation in cutting-edge directed energy defense technology. Contribute directly to national security with robust and scalable hardware solutions. Build more in 12 months than most engineers do in 5 years—we field test monthly on our own 400+ acre range, executing against a $151B MDA SHIELD IDIQ contract. Grow fast: engineers here typically get promoted 1-2x per year. Erick Brito went from Founding Robotics Engineer to Lead in 12 months. Work alongside a founding team from to build what directed energy should have been.

We work 6 days (yes, we'll relocate you) a week because that's what it takes to ship real hardware to real operators. If you want balance, we respect that. If you want to build—keep reading.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
