About the role

At Perseus Defense we're building 16" missiles. Our missiles are special because they shoot down drones, and they do so at 1% the cost of America's best existing solutions. This is the fastest growing Aerospace and Defense startup in the country and we're targeting a greater than billion-dollar valuation by 2027. Our missiles already launch without lock, acquire targets mid-flight, and then self-guide for a kinetic hit to kill to neutralize enemy drones and protect our troops. Our task is extremely challenging: to build the most advanced 16" missile at a cost and scale that the world has never seen before. We're Perseus Defense. Join us in building America's Golden Dome for Drones. This is a full-time on-site role for an Engineer at Perseus Defense. The position is located in Austin, TX. Available positions are in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Hardware Engineering, Computer Vision, Electrical Engineering, and Software Engineering. You will be working with some of the smartest and most driven individuals you've ever met. The work will be extremely challenging and will push you to grow and to learn. It will be one of the most intellectually demanding yet fun career opportunities of your life. The salary is extremely competitive with full-time engineering salaries from private industry, and company equity is also available. You'll be given as much responsibility as you can handle, placing your future career trajectory squarely in your hands.
