## About the role

At Perseus Defense we're building 16" missiles. Our missiles are special because they shoot down drones, and they do so at 1% the cost of America's best existing solutions. This is the fastest growing Aerospace and Defense startup in the country and we're targeting a greater than billion-dollar valuation by 2027. Our missiles already launch without lock, acquire targets mid-flight, and then self-guide for a kinetic hit to kill to neutralize enemy drones and protect our troops.

## What they're looking for

- 1+ years of experience
- US citizen/visa only
- Full-time Engineering role
