9 Mothers Defense
The Senior Optomechanical Engineer owns the optics-related subsystems on robotic weapon platforms, ensuring cameras, thermal imagers, and sensor heads maintain alignment and performance in harsh field conditions. This hands-on role involves designing mounts, selecting materials, and managing shock and vibration to keep optical assemblies functional under extreme stress. The position requires translating optical designs into buildable, manufacturable hardware while supporting field testing and production alignment.
9 Mothers is an AI mission systems company building counter-drone (C-sUAS) defense systems for the U.S. Government, based in Austin, TX. Their product line — including Edda, an AI-powered point defense turret — is purpose-built to detect, track, and engage high-speed FPV suicide drones at close range with low cost and autonomous capability. The company applies a software-discipline approach to hardware, delivering a full kill chain across detection, tracking, and engagement systems.
