We are now seeking a Field Deployment Engineer to join our team and help deliver this transformative technology.

Join Archangel Autonomy and help transform machines into teammates.

About Us

At Archangel Autonomy, we're combining AI and robotics to protect our service personnel, critical infrastructure, and first responders in large, remote areas. We're pushing the boundaries of technology by creating systems that don't just assist but become teammates in the field.

Our groundbreaking UXV navigation co-pilot system is designed to operate autonomously in some of the world's most challenging environments, even where GPS and navigation signals are unavailable. With applications in both civil and military use cases, our mission is to redefine how humans and machines collaborate.

About the Role

As a Field Deployment Engineer, you will be on the front lines of deploying, integrating, and supporting our AI-driven systems in the real world. Your work will ensure that our cutting-edge technology performs seamlessly for our customers in demanding environments.
