Embedded Systems Engineer

About Sentradel

Over 90 percent of combat deaths in Ukraine are caused by small drones. In Colombia, over 100 military and police officers have been killed by cartel operated drones. Shahed drones hit civilian and military targets across the Middle East uncontested. Unjammable fiber optic and AI controlled drones are making the threat cheaper, faster, and harder to stop. The problem is here now and it is accelerating.

Sentradel is a defense startup in San Francisco building autonomous, low cost kinetic turret systems designed to defeat Group 1 and FPV drone threats. We have shot down dozens of drones in live fire testing. We have active Department of War research agreements, commercial partnerships, and sales with defense contractors.

How we work

Full time, in person at our San Francisco office. We also travel and test at our Nevada range, and across the US at demos with partners and customers.
