Description
Position Summary
Apium Swarm Robotics (ASR) is revolutionizing swarm autonomy software for air, surface, undersea, and ground vehicles operating across dual-use commercial and defense environments. Our systems are deployed on real platforms, tested in the field, and delivered to customers operating in complex, uncertain, and safety-critical conditions.
We do not build research prototypes or slideware. Our software is integrated into real vehicles, tested in the field, and delivered to customers who depend on operational reliability, speed of execution, and mission relevance. We prioritize performance over hype.
ASR systems represent the next phase in autonomy: collaborative swarming. These are not like pre-programmed drones for light shows. We are creating real-time cooperative management that lets one operator control dozens to hundreds of vehicles in real-time with the ease of controlling a single vehicle. As such, this role requires comfort with responsibility, ambiguity, and operational accountability.
Mission Engineering is responsible for deploying, operating, maintaining, and supporting autonomous vehicle systems in real-world environments. This role sits at the intersection of business development, engineering, and field deployment, and is critical to ensuring ASR’s systems perform reliably outside the lab.
You will primarily operate and support ASR-equipped unmanned maritime vehicles. As time and company opportunities permit, you will also support aerial, undersea, and ground vehicles in both commercial and defense contexts, often in unfamiliar, austere, or high-tempo environments. You will work with a significant level of autonomy, make decisions, and provide direct feedback to engineering and sales teams based on real operational experience and customer engagement.

Perform vessel pre-deployment checks, systems integration, waterside launch and recovery operations, and post-mission analysis
Maintain and repair USV hulls, propulsion systems, payloads, and supporting waterside ground equipment
Operate systems in open-water, near-shore, and harbor environments, including conditions with limited communications, adverse weather, or minimal support infrastructure
Ensure all waterside operations are conducted in compliance with COLREGS, applicable USCG regulations, and local port or waterway authority requirements
Provide detailed operational feedback to engineering teams to improve system performance and reliability
Support business development engagements, demonstrations, customer evaluations, training events, and deployments
Travel to test sites, customer locations, and operational environments
Represent ASR professionally with customers, partners, and government stakeholders

USCG OUPV (“Six-Pack”) license or equivalent small vessel operator credential
Familiarity with AIS (Automatic Identification System), electronic chart plotting (ECS/ECDIS), and maritime navigation tools
Experience with maritime safety equipment including PFDs, flares, EPIRBs, and man-overboard (MOB) recovery procedures
Familiarity with maritime weather interpretation, Notice to Mariners, and sea state assessment for operational planning
Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, or willingness to obtain
Experience working in classified, export-controlled, or government-adjacent environments
U.S. security clearance or ability to obtain one
Physical Requirements and Working Conditions
Ability to travel, including international travel
Ability to work irregular hours in support of field operations and deployments
Ability to lift, transport, and operate heavy field equipment as required

Our systems are deployed on real platforms, tested in the field, and delivered to customers operating in complex, uncertain, and safety-critical conditions.\\n\\nWe do not build research prototypes or slideware. Our software is integrated into real vehicles, tested in the field, and delivered to customers who depend on operational reliability, speed of execution, and mission relevance. We prioritize performance over hype.\\n\\nASR systems represent the next phase in autonomy: collaborative swarming. These are not like pre-programmed drones for light shows. We are creating real-time cooperative management that lets one operator control dozens to hundreds of vehicles in real-time with the ease of controlling a single vehicle. As such, this role requires comfort with responsibility, ambiguity, and operational accountability.\\n\\nMission Engineering is responsible for deploying, operating, maintaining, and supporting autonomous vehicle systems in real-world environments.
