About this role

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

  • Design multi-agent coordination algorithms for collaborative UAV behavior 
  • Develop decision-making and task allocation systems 
  • Implement collision avoidance and mission planning logic 
  • Build behavior trees / state machines / planners for autonomous missions 
  • Integrate perception and sensor fusion outputs into actions 
  • Develop simulation environments for large-scale autonomous testing 
  • Improve automation workflows to reduce operator workload 
  • Collaborate closely with AI, perception, and hardware teams
