About the role
About Us
"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.
The Role
You will design, build, and test the physical systems around our electronics as a core member of our growing hardware team.
That means hands-on mechanical engineering work across our aircraft and ground stations: airframes, enclosures, mounts, thermal solutions, payload integration, and packaging. You'll take ownership of defined subsystems and see them through from CAD model to a validated part on a flying aircraft.
You'll report to our Founding Hardware Engineer and work closely with Alex, our co-founder and hardware lead. This is a role for an engineer early in their career who wants to grow fast: you'll be given real responsibility, real deadlines, and real feedback from the field, with senior engineers beside you at the bench.
