Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Develop, integrate, and test high-quality embedded C/C++ avionics software for X-BAT UAVs, interfacing with sensors, firmware, autonomy systems, and GCS; design CI/HIL test systems, produce documentation, and collaborate across cross-functional teams.

Lead design and implement production React/TypeScript interfaces for agentic AI products. Prototype and ship working front-end code, design interaction patterns for LLM-driven systems, run user research, build reusable component patterns, instrument usage, and collaborate with product teams to land designs into production.

Own and maintain native C++ build systems for autonomous aircraft. Improve developer velocity by reducing build/test cycle time, integrate CI with HIL and simulation, implement monitoring and alerts, troubleshoot build/test failures, and collaborate with engineers to design and deploy DevEx/DevOps solutions.

Perform FEA and hand calculations to evaluate and optimize UAV airframe structures. Conduct static, modal, fatigue, and vibration analyses, support structural test planning and data correlation, define loads and material properties, and produce structural analysis reports while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.

Support selection, characterization, calibration, and integration of multi-modal navigation and localization sensors (IMUs, GNSS, cameras). Develop and run test plans, calibration scripts, and data-processing tools. Work cross-functionally with EE/ME/SW on electrical interfaces, mounting, thermal/vibration, and software drivers. Debug hardware–firmware–software issues, document trade studies and integration requirements, and support production and occasional travel.

Lead design and prototyping of generative AI experiences for autonomy development; drive UX for Hivemind products; perform user research, collaborate with CTO and product leads, and deliver reference implementations and integrations across full-stack web and edge systems.

Lead architecture, development, and validation of end-to-end aircraft fuel systems. Drive cross-functional integration, system-level modeling (CFD), verification, supplier qualification, ground and flight test support, anomaly root-cause analysis, and mentor engineering teams while contributing to long-term fuel-system technology roadmaps.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV. Execute full design lifecycle, perform hand calculations and limited FEA, support structural validation and testing, produce drawings and documentation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturability and system integration.

Lead survivability engineering for autonomous aircraft: design and optimize low-observable features, perform EM signature modeling and RCS testing, partner with multidisciplinary teams and materials scientists, translate threats into survivability requirements, and support assessments and milestone decisions throughout the program lifecycle.

Lead design and delivery of flight-critical power electronics for the X-BAT aircraft, including inverters, DC-DC converters, and battery management. Own full hardware development cycle, drive PCB layout, harden designs for harsh environments, mentor engineers, lead reviews, and manage program timelines through production.
