Beacon AI builds intelligent systems that make aviation safer and more autonomous. We’ve completed multiple DoD programs and are expanding our team with exceptional technical leaders to push the boundaries of human-machine collaboration in the cockpit.

At Beacon, you will lead by example, mentoring and growing a small team of talented engineers (typically 1–2 to start) while staying hands-on in design and execution. You’ll help shape critical systems that advance aviation safety and autonomy, working alongside a team that values effort, creativity, and accountability.

We’re hiring Lead Engineers with 5-9 YOE who love solving complex problems. At Beacon, you’ll own your work end-to-end, from prototype to deployment, and literally see your code take flight in real world aviation environments! Roles:

++ iOS Engineer [Tech Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Mapbox]

++ Senior Security Engineer [SIEM, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, encryption]

++ Infra/Backend Engineer [Tech Stack: AWS]

++ WebApp/FrontEnd Engineer [Tech Stack: Python, Typescript, React]

++ Lead Autonomy/Robotics Engineer [Tech Stack: C++, Python, iOT]
