About SWARM Biotactics At
SWARM Biotactics, we’re creating
biorobots
— living, intelligent systems based on insects. Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack enabling wireless control, sensing, and secure communication. Biorobot swarms combine the efficiency of biology with AI, sensing, and swarm coordination — unlocking capabilities where conventional machines fail. We are the only company in the world doing this — and we’re building the foundational systems that make living machines possible. Join us at the frontier — and help create the first generation of living machines.
Your Role You will define and own the
core communication and messaging architecture
of living biorobot swarms. This role exists because
conventional networking models break
when nodes are biological, mobile, energy-limited, and only loosely synchronized. There is no fixed infrastructure, no stable topology, and no separation between sensing, ranging, and communication. You will operate close to the
radio and baseband layers, shaping how physical-layer realities propagate upward into decentralized swarm behavior. Your work will directly determine how living agents coordinate, localize, and act collectively in the real world.
This is a foundational role with no blueprint and no precedent. What You’ll Do Own the
end-to-end communication backbone
of biorobot swarms, from radio assumptions to network behavior Design
swarm-native, decentralized topologies
under extreme constraints in energy, timing, mobility, and bandwidth Co-design
ranging and communication as a unified system, tightly coupled across radio, baseband, and messaging layers Translate biological, physical, and electronic constraints into
first-principle communication architectures Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly with embedded, baseband, swarm intelligence, and biology teams Your Profile You bring
8+ years of professional experience
in wireless communication, networking, or distributed systems (internships, master,...excluded), with
strong proximity to radio and baseband systems. You understand how: RF behavior and baseband processing shape system-level performance Timing, synchronization, and ranging interact with communication reliability Energy constraints dominate architectural decisions You are comfortable working close to electronics — even if you are not a hardware designer — and you can reason fluently from the physical layer upward. You are not looking to apply existing standards. You are looking to
invent new communication models. How You Work This role is intentionally selective. You are: Mission-driven, with a bias toward ownership over scope Creatively bold, comfortable operating without precedent At ease with
uncertainty, risk, and incomplete information Curiosity-led, questioning assumptions across disciplines Openly collaborative, sharp in debate and fast to converge Resilient to failure, treating iteration as the cost of discovery If you need mature stacks, fixed problem boundaries, or guaranteed outcomes, this role will not work. Why SWARM Biotactics We are well-funded, moving fast, and operating in a domain no one else occupies. Your work will define the
foundational communication layer of living machines
— not a feature, not an optimization, but the core system everything else depends on. ⚡ Join the Swarm This is not a role for safe careers or incremental progress. It is a role for people who want to
define how a new class of machines communicates. If that’s you, we want to meet you.
