About the Company

ABOUT ALTA ARES Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. 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 & MISSION AVIONICS ARCHITECTURE & HARDWARE DESIGN - Design, develop, and integrate avionics and electronic subsystems for high-performance unmanned aerial systems - Own schematic capture, PCB layout reviews, and component selection for flight-critical electronics, with a strong focus on size, weight, power, and cost - Define the electrical architecture, power distribution, and harnessing for compact, high-dynamic airframes - Select and integrate flight controllers, navigation sensors (IMU, GNSS, magnetometer, air data), data links, and onboard compute - Design for manufacturability and reliability, from early prototypes through to series production Integration, Test & Validation - Lead bench, hardware-in-the-loop, and environmental testing of avionics subsystems - Integrate electronics into the airframe and support full system integration with the software and guidan
