We are a small team in Ventura, California building autonomous aircraft from the ground up. Small company, real hardware, direct impact. Your work goes on the aircraft, not into a slide deck.
Own guidance, navigation, and control for aircraft that operate without GPS. You will work across state estimation, autonomy, and flight test on real aircraft, with short iteration loops.
Build the seeker: detection, tracking, and terminal handoff for a moving target from a moving aircraft. Embedded vision under real compute, power, and latency limits, not a research notebook.
We are small enough that exceptional people shape their own job description. If you build things that fly, or things that stop things that fly, send your resume and a note about what you would bring to careers@kestrelds.com.
Note: some positions require access to information subject to U.S. export control regulations. Those roles are limited to U.S. persons as defined by ITAR and EAR.
