AI-powered counter-drone (C-sUAS) defense systems. Edda — fast, low-cost, autonomous-capable point defense for the FPV drone era. Built in Austin, TX. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Robotics Engineer to join a small, fast‑moving team. You will design and implement the physical control systems — the “body” — of our interceptor platforms. This role is critical, as the accuracy of our control theory dictates the success of every high‑speed maneuver in combat. You should be comfortable writing code and working with robotic components (actuators, controllers, compute, sensors, etc.). Passion for building robots or engineering projects as a hobby
