General Snippet
We're embarking on an intense 60-day sprint to bring a cutting-edge optical detection system from concept to competition-ready prototype. This isn't your typical product development cycle - we're looking for exceptional engineers who thrive under pressure and can deliver the impossible.
You'll be joining a small, elite team working 50-60 hour weeks (possibly more when critical milestones hit) to design, build, and demonstrate advanced counter-drone technology. This is a rare opportunity to have a massive impact on a product that will shape the future of airspace security.
The Reality:
- The next 60 days will be all-consuming - expect 60-hour weeks minimum
- Some weeks may require more as deadlines approach
- After the competition, we'll shift to a sustainable pace - this sprint is temporary
- Post-competition, we'll build the company properly with work-life balance in mind
What to Expect:
- Extremely fast-paced environment with daily milestones
- Hands-on work from day one - no lengthy onboarding
- Direct collaboration with all team members and founders
- Opportunity to own significant technical decisions
- Return to normal hours (40-50/week) after competition
- Potential for substantial growth as we scale
- In Person, Worcester MA
We Need People Who:
- Can start immediately (within days, not weeks)
- Understand this is a sprint, not a marathon
- Can commit fully for 60 days, knowing it gets better
- Thrive in ambiguity and can make decisions with incomplete information
- Want to be part of something transformative from the ground floor
Fair Warning: The next 60 days will test your limits. We're being upfront - this will require personal sacrifice and probably some late nights/weekends. But it's temporary. After the competition, we'll build a sustainable company culture. For the right person, these two months are a career-defining opportunity to build something extraordinary with a team that's redefining what's possible in defense technology.
If you're ready to go all-in for 60 days and then help us build the future, we want to hear from you TODAY.
