Valkyrie Aero is a DoD prime contractor. We're building an airborne system for a manned counter-drone aircraft (that we operate) to enable a crew to find and engage Group 2-3 drones at low cost. Hiring contract software engineers for three roles:
- Software Engineer, Autonomy
- Software Engineer, Perception
- Software Engineer, Frontend (HMI)
We’re a small team (for now) so this isn’t your traditional defense program. Bureaucracy kept to the absolute minimum. If you can work across more than one of these domains that’s a huge plus.
I'm on the engineering team and read every application myself. I do not use AI to screen your applications and will read and reply to every single one; but please don’t send over walls of LLM generated text, I’d much rather be communicating with humans!
Apply: https://valkyrie-aero.breezy.hr/ and mention HN in your application.
Laminar Engineering builds real-time computer vision systems for airborne detection and tracking of drones, combining multispectral sensing and edge inference. We’re delivering this for a client, and we’re looking for a versatile engineer to join the R&D effort. This is a role for someone who thrives with autonomy when given a clear end state. More details to be shared with the right candidates.
The role spans the whole pipeline, from data to deployed system: CV/ML on NVIDIA edge devices (Jetson / TensorRT / DeepStream), real-time video processing and multi-object tracking, camera/gimbal control, dataset collection and curation, model training and evaluation, backend infrastructure and APIs, and operator-facing dashboards. You’d own deployed vision systems end to end, including diagnosing and fixing real-world failures in live video.
Strong fit: applied CV and perception, including tracking, real-time pipelines, and NVIDIA edge deployment, plus strong Python and comfort across the stack. Relevant experience: PyTorch, TensorRT/ONNX, DeepStream/GStreamer, embedded Linux, and frontend work for operator tooling.
Remote contract, flexible hours, some overlap with UTC-05 preferred.
