Careers at Alea Defense & Space
Open roles
Three roles. Portugal. The demonstrator exists, and you will be asked to break it.
Senior autonomy and C2 engineer
You own the command layer: task allocation, re-tasking under link loss, the Safety Governor, and the event log the whole system replays from. ValkyrieOS is a working simulation demonstrator today, with a bridge to real autopilot software. You will take it from TRL 3 to 4 towards something an operator would trust, and you will be judged on determinism and replayability rather than on demos.
Aerospace or propulsion engineer
Valkyrie is in design and a physical demonstrator is planned. You will help set the design baseline for the airframe and its propulsion, and decide what the first demonstrator has to prove. There are no performance figures to quote yet, and part of the job is being honest about that.
Uncrewed-systems operators, as advisers
Experienced operators of uncrewed systems who are willing to sit with the demonstrator and criticise it. Structured operator sessions are part of the V1 work. We want to hear what an operator would not trust, and why.
