Aurelius Systems builds AI-powered directed energy laser defense platforms protecting troops, bases, and infrastructure from UAS drone threats. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
We are seeking a skilled Perception Engineer to join our software team and work on end‑to‑end perception and sensor‑fusion stack. You will develop, train, and deploy vision and sensor based models; manage data pipelines; and enable real‑time detection and tracking for our laser‑based defense system. This role bridges data science, software engineering, and robotics to deliver reliable, high‑throughput perception performance on edge hardware.
What they're looking for
- 2–6+ years in computer vision, sensor fusion, or robotics perception roles
- Strong C++ with deep ML engineering experience
- Hands‑on with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and real‑time inference engines (TensorRT, OpenVINO)
- Computer vision, tracking, and detection in real-time, real-world conditions
- Familiarity with ROS2, Docker, and CI/CD for ML pipelines
- Experience with multi‑sensor calibration and data synchronization
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.
