At SWARM Biotactics, we’re creating cyborgs — living, intelligent systems based on insects.
Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack that enables sensing, control, and secure communication.
By combining biology, real-time electronics and swarm coordination, we unlock capabilities where conventional robotics fails.
We are the only company in the world doing this — and we are building the first generation of living machines .
👉 We are seeking a Principal Sensor Fusion Architect – Real-Time Biorobotic Systems who will own and define the real-time sensing and behavioral intelligence of our biorobotic systems, designing deterministic, heterogeneous computing, and real-time intelligence under extreme SWaP constraints.
💡 Your Role
We are seeking a Principal Sensor Fusion Architect to define how our systems perceive, interpret, and react to the world across a heterogeneous platform — spanning neuromorphic computing, FPGA, and microcontrollers .
You will turn raw, noisy, unconventional signals into reliable, real-time behavioral inputs, under extreme SWaP and resource constraints .
* This is a core system ownership role, not an algorithm-only position.
🔥 Ownership, Impact & Mindset
You will design and validate sensor fusion strategies end-to-end — from mathematical modeling and simulation (e.g. Mathematica or equivalent) to real-world implementation on constrained, heterogeneous hardware. You rapidly move between theory and experiment, making decisions with incomplete data and validating them on real systems. You thrive in uncertainty, experimentation, and iteration, and take ownership of turning complex, multi-modal signals into robust behavior. You prefer working systems over perfect models, and you are comfortable operating where biology, noise, and hardware constraints collide.
🧠 Profile
* 8+ years experience in sensor fusion, signal processing, or real-time systems (industry only)
* Strong foundation in mathematical modeling, estimation, and multi-sensor systems
* Experience deploying algorithms on constrained or heterogeneous platforms
* Ability to bridge theory ↔ implementation ↔ real-world validation
* Mindset: mission-driven, creatively bold, comfortable with uncertainty and risk, collaborative, curiosity-led, resilient, high ownership
🌍 Why SWARM Biotactics
* We’re well-funded and expanding fast in a space no one else is in .
* You’ll join a world-class team working on the frontier of science and engineering .
* Your work will directly define how biobots perceive and interact with the world.
