Perception Hardware Integration Engineer
Furientis, Los Angeles, CA
The role
America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
You own the seeker as a working system, from the first prototype on the bench to every unit that follows. You take the capability architecture (cameras, compute, IMUs, power) and a specified, tested optical assembly, and make one working seeker out of them: integrated, brought up, calibrated, and qualified. First light on the first article is yours, and so is the discipline that makes build ten identical to build nine. You report to the seeker lead and work in tight partnership with the opto-mechanical engineer: they own how well the seeker sees; you own the seeker itself.
