GPS Denied Navigation for Drones. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to own the deployment of Theseus' products onto commercial and government drone platforms. This role sits at the intersection of software, integration, testing, and field operations. You’ll work directly with autopilots, onboard compute, sensors, operators, and partner teams to get our products integrated, flying, and delivering value in the real world. You should be comfortable moving between code, hardware, field debugging, and operator-facing deployment work.
What they're looking for
- Own end-to-end deployment of Theseus systems in operational environments, from initial integration through operator handoff and sustained field performance
- Integrate Theseus software onto drone platforms using ArduPilot-based systems
- Write and modify Python and C++ code to support integrations, tooling, debugging, and deployment workflows
- Bring up, test, and troubleshoot full systems across autopilot, compute, sensors, networking, telemetry, and operator interfaces
- Work directly with operators and partner teams to understand mission requirements, support field deployments, and adapt systems to real operational constraints
- Train operators and partners on deployment, troubleshooting, and best practices in the field
More about this role
Theseus is a defense technology company building visual positioning to solve reliability for the next 10 million drones. We’re laser focused on solving localization on today’s GPS-denied battlefield because we think it’s the biggest blocker to physical intelligence on drones.
Our products are already being used in real operational environments today. We’re a small team with high ownership and accountability, and we’re looking for engineers who want to move fast, build against real-world constraints, and have the opportunity to have direct impact through their work.
