We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.
Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year.
We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.
Role & MissionAs Sensor & C2 Integration Engineer, you will own the interoperability layer that connects Alta Ares' systems to the broader sensor and command-and-control ecosystem of our military and institutional partners.
Your core mission is twofold: ingest and normalize track data from heterogeneous external sources — radar feeds, sensor networks, and tactical data links speaking CoT, ASTERIX, or proprietary partner protocols — and expose Alta Ares' own systems to partner Command & Control (C2) infrastructure through the SAPIENT protocol.
You sit at the intersection of protocol engineering, systems integration, and partner-facing technical work, often validating your integrations live alongside partner engineers during joint test campaigns and demonstrations.
This is a role with real architectural responsibility: every new partner integration adds to a portfolio you are accountable for keeping coherent, documented, and maintainable as it scales.
