> Seeing Systems is building autonomous drone systems that can perceive, navigate, and act intelligently in complex real-world environments.
We’re advancing autonomy through monocular vision, sensor fusion, and robust system design — drones that keep working where traditional systems fail, supported by an agentic stack that reduces operator cognitive load.
Our first product is an FPV-class drone built from the ground up with a modular hardware architecture. If we get the first platform right, we can move fast on everything else: larger airframes, longer range, new payloads, and new mission profiles without rebuilding the stack each time.
We were founded by brothers Matthew and Alexander Le Maitre. Matthew is a former Jane Street engineer and Cambridge CS graduate with a background in autonomous systems research. Alexander is a self-taught hardware engineer who has been building unmanned systems and military-grade electronics.
We’re an early-stage, fast-moving team working at the intersection of robotics, perception, and real-world deployment. We iterate weekly. We test in real environments.
You will own hardware at Seeing Systems from first schematic to flying systems in the field.
That means designing the electronics and the physical systems around them: flight controllers, motor drivers, RF circuits, power systems, sensor boards, payload boards, frames, enclosures, mounts, packaging, and ground station hardware. You’ll take ownership of the whole stack and turn blank-schematic ideas into reliable products that work outside the lab.
This is a founding hardware role. You won’t just design boards — you’ll own them through bring-up, flight testing, iteration, and production. You’ll help define the modular architecture we scale from, so every new platform builds on the last instead of starting over.
You’ll work directly with Alex on hardware architecture, set technical direction, and grow into the leader of the hardware team as we scale.
Within 30 days: you’ve brought up your first custom board and flown it on one of our drones.
Within 90 days: you will have completed the first production-ready revision of our modular flight controller and integrated it into our alpha airframe
We engineer inexpensive, autonomous strike drones designed to operate in the most contested combat environments on Earth!
By combining true hardware modularity with an agentic control system that lowers cognitive load on operators, we enable faster upgrades, broader adoption, and more than 2x reduction in lifecycle cost.
Our customers and partners include the UK Royal Marine Commandos, several other units in the UK, and 4 other NATO forces, and we are currently shipping prototypes for iterative feedback.
Think of us as Anduril, but with worse weather, and better banter.
