General Application

Chirp Robotics Corporation is a defense technology company building next-generation drone defense systems with engineering at its core. Our mission is to defend those on the front lines by delivering reliable, low-cost autonomous systems designed to neutralize aerial threats at scale.

At Chirp, we believe great engineering teams—empowered, trusted, and focused—are the key to solving the hardest defense challenges. We blend deep technical expertise with a fast, iterative development model to design, test, and field capable systems in record time.

We are seeking mission-driven general applicants who want to join CHIRP Robotics Corporation. The ideal candidate will be motivated, a self-starter, and deeply curious — someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and is excited to help build, test, and deploy real systems for real-world defense challenges. At CHIRP, we value individuals who take ownership, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully to a tight-knit, high-trust engineering culture. This opportunity is ideal for candidates who want to grow, solve real problems, and work on technology that directly impacts frontline operators.

Responsibilities:

Under guidance from senior team members, the candidate will:

• Contribute to engineering, operations, testing, or support functions that move CHIRP systems from prototype to field-ready

• Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to support rapid design, build, and iteration cycles

• Participate in lab work, integration efforts, or field testing activities as needed

• Help develop processes, tools, and workflows that increase speed, reliability, and modularity

• Learn and apply CHIRP methodologies focused on fast iteration, domain expertise, and real-world problem solving

• Support documentation, testing, quality checks, and cross-team communication

• Bring new ideas, take ownership of tasks, and push projects forward with urgency and clarity

Required Qualifications:

• Prior experience: 1–3 years of work experience or relevant hands-on project experience

• Strong foundation in your discipline (engineering, software, operations, test, logistics, or related areas)

• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, solve problems, and work with initiative

• Willingness to work in a fast-paced environment where requirements evolve and speed matters

• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and adapt to new technologies

• Clear interest in autonomy, robotics, defense systems, or building real hardware/software that gets deployed

• Some relevant experience (school projects, internships, research, or industry roles)

At Chirp Robotics, we believe that exceptional teams deserve exceptional support. Our compensation packages are designed to reflect the value of your contributions and provide stability, flexibility, and room to grow. The salary range for each role is based on multiple factors, including your experience, education, skillset, and business needs.
