You’re the person who notices what’s missing, fixes it fast, and keeps the environment organized and functional.

- Strong organizational skills, comfortable juggling multiple vendors, shipments, and timelines at once
- Comfortable on a hardware floor, including lifting boxes and managing pallets
- Ability to carry, lift, or move 50 lbs in and around the warehouse and at the range as needed
- Trustworthy, proactive, low-ego, bias to action
- Comfortable with ambiguity in an early-stage company still figuring out its processes
More about this role
Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.
We're a small team of engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system.
Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate, small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.
In addition to our San Francisco lab, we've opened a Detroit manufacturing hub and we field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range.
