  • The candidate should be comfortable working with distributed teams, partners, customers and other stakeholders to learn the requirements, come up with a proposal for a solution , rapidly develop prototypes and finally perhaps implement and roll them out eventually to production with low oversight . People who n ever say , “not my problem ”.

Responsibilities :

  • Learn : Quickly come up to speed browsing existing code and documentation. Be motivated to learn unfamiliar subjects and drive your own learning needs. Continuously keep up with industry trends.
  • Productization : Ensure our AI models are robust, interpretable, testable, and performant under real-world conditions—especially in adversarial, low-power, GPS - D enied and / or edge-deployed environments.   You must have an incredible eye to detail and be able to make tradeoffs keeping business interests in mind.
  • On-site 2-3 days a week in San Francisco, CA
  • Minimum Requirements :

  • More About Us : We're building the next generation of aerospace, defense and critical industry technologies with a seasoned team of mission-focused individuals. We were founded in June 2022 and our goal is to become the platform where world-class engineers come to solve critical, real-world problems. We use agile engineering approaches which enable rapid prototyping, deep partnerships with the defense industry ensuring real-world application, and our newly-invented Coherence platform (through which we’ve made a fundamental breakthrough) improves sensor performance and decision-making in real-time. As of April 2025 we have raised $490M (including a $275M Series C at a $2B valuation) from some of the most prominent VC funds and investors including Accel, NEA, 8VC, and Valar. With a managing team that includes Epirus’ founding members (responsible for building a $1.5B company from scratch) + key drivers from Palantir (instrumental in Palantir’s growth to $1B in revenue), we are well-positioned to become one of the fastest growing companies to date!
  • Salary Range : $200,000 - $270,000
