About Us
www.asylonrobotics.com
Asylon automates security operations using robots, software, and AI in order to help its customers protect their people, property, and assets. Asylon was founded in 2015 by three MIT aerospace engineers who have worked on a variety of projects in the aerospace industry from the V-22 Osprey to commercial jet engines to defense systems on Navy destroyers. With our team’s strong background in aerospace, Asylon develops products consistent with the quality standards demanded by commercial and military customers. Today, Asylon is a dynamic team that is passionate about robots and committed to building and operating safe, high quality products that solve the greatest challenges facing the robotics and security industries.
We are building a diverse team that creates novel solutions and provides previously unrealized services via robotics. The Asylon team is perfect for those who wish to apply their expertise to revolutionize the robotics industry while expanding their own skillsets.
Product - Robotic Perimeter Security
Asylon develops field deployable infrastructure for automated robots to augment the security teams of our clients. We believe that the true advantages of robotics and automation come when we can have robots and humans working hand-in-hand to increase security and help save lives. We see robots as a means to deliver actionable, timely, and persistent intelligence. DroneCore, our full stack aerial and ground robotics solution, is revolutionizing the way the security industry operates by providing capabilities to security teams that they have never had before.
Position
Asylon is looking for an electrical engineer with RF and EMI expertise to design, test, and maintain the electrical and RF systems that connect our robotic products and their stations. You’ll work on architecting, analyzing, and optimizing wireless communication systems, and then designing the circuit boards, wire harnesses, needed to interface with the DroneCore product line. In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to define RF communications architectures, design solutions, build prototypes, perform testing, and mature the prototypes into products. This role is hands-on and spans the full lifecycle from prototyping through manufacturing — you should be comfortable selecting communications devices, designing circuits, bringing up boards, and establishing the processes that ensure our hardware meets the quality standards demanded by commercial and military customers.
Due to the nature of some projects worked on in this position, applicants must be a U.S. Citizens
