Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV. Execute full design lifecycle, perform hand calculations and limited FEA, support structural validation and testing, produce drawings and documentation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturability and system integration.

Perform finite element modeling and analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV structures; validate results with hand calculations; support structural test planning, data analysis, load definition, and cross-functional design optimization to ensure lightweight, safe airframe performance.

Lead aircraft-level thermal analysis and characterization for VTOL unmanned aircraft. Develop and validate analytical and CFD models, run trade studies, define requirements, plan and analyze thermal tests, mentor teams, and mitigate aircraft thermal risks to meet mission-critical aerospace requirements.

Lead design and development of advanced electrical systems for autonomous aircraft, including circuit and subsystem design, part selection, schematic capture, simulation, verification, debugging, and production releases. Integrate embedded systems and sensors for autonomy, coordinate cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, define technical requirements, and develop automated test solutions to improve hardware reliability and production readiness.

Develop, integrate, and test high-quality embedded C/C++ avionics software for X-BAT UAVs, interfacing with sensors, firmware, autonomy systems, and GCS; design CI/HIL test systems, produce documentation, and collaborate across cross-functional teams.

Lead design and prototyping of generative AI experiences for autonomy development; drive UX for Hivemind products; perform user research, collaborate with CTO and product leads, and deliver reference implementations and integrations across full-stack web and edge systems.

Lead systems engineering for Hivemind-based autonomy products: define and manage requirements, develop system architectures and trade studies, coordinate hardware/software interfaces, support integration/verification/validation and testing, and identify and mitigate technical risks across the system lifecycle.

Support selection, characterization, calibration, and integration of multi-modal navigation and localization sensors (IMUs, GNSS, cameras). Develop and run test plans, calibration scripts, and data-processing tools. Work cross-functionally with EE/ME/SW on electrical interfaces, mounting, thermal/vibration, and software drivers. Debug hardware–firmware–software issues, document trade studies and integration requirements, and support production and occasional travel.

Plan, execute, and analyze ground and flight test campaigns for manned/unmanned aircraft. Develop test plans, coordinate pre/flight/post activities, collect telemetry, troubleshoot systems, validate requirements, document results, and improve test processes while supporting maintenance and range operations.

Design and implement full‑stack, low‑latency web-based Ground Control Station and C2 systems (map-centric UIs, real-time telemetry, video streaming), lead architecture and APIs, mentor engineers, support field tests and mission deployments, and ensure interoperability with C2 standards.
