Founding Hardware Engineer

About Aegiron

Aegiron is building the observability layer for Europe's critical infrastructure. Our software-defined sensor nodes enable operators to anticipate threats, identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their resilience against emerging threats. Backed by premier venture capital funds and angels.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Hardware Engineer to join our core team. Our sensor nodes span radar, RF, cameras, acoustics, and edge compute — all packed into a single weatherproof enclosure.

Core Tasks

• Sensor Evaluation & Sourcing: Researching, benchmarking, and selecting sensors across modalities: radar, RF, visible + thermal cameras, MEMS microphones.

• Mechanical Design & Prototyping: CAD design (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent) of enclosures, mounting systems, and internal layouts. Rapid iteration through FDM/SLA 3D printing, with an eye on IP65+ weatherproofing, thermal management, and field serviceability.

• System Architecture & Integration: Defining the power budget and thermal architecture for multi-sensor edge nodes. Coordinating sensor interfaces (USB, CSI, SPI, GigE) with the software team and ensuring clean integration with the NVIDIA Jetson compute stack.

• Manufacturing Readiness: Owning the BOM, coordinating with PCB/EMS partners for custom carrier boards, managing component sourcing and lead times, and driving the path from prototype to low-volume production.

Your Foundation

• Prototyping Speed: You can take an idea from sketch to physical prototype in days, not months. You are comfortable with 3D printing, hand tools, and basic bench equipment.

• CAD Proficiency: You work fluently in at least one professional CAD tool and can produce manufacturing-ready models.

• Sensor & Electronics Literacy: You can read datasheets, understand interface protocols (SPI, I²C, UART, MIPI CSI), and navigate Mouser/DigiKey to spec and source components.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with enclosure design for outdoor / harsh-environment deployment (IP-rated, vibration, temperature extremes).

• Background in radar, RF, or electro-optical sensor systems.

• Exposure to NVIDIA Jetson or similar embedded AI compute platforms.

• PCB design skills (KiCad, Altium) — even basic schematic capture and layout.

• Experience working with EMS partners and managing low-volume manufacturing.

• A background in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or aerospace.

• A history of tinkering — personal projects, drones, maker spaces, hackathons.

Why Join Aegiron

• Build from the ground up: Shape the physical product and technical DNA of a frontier resilience company.

• Work with cutting-edge tools: Access to bleeding-edge sensing systems, simulation environments, and prototyping equipment.

• Equity upside: Competitive compensation and meaningful ownership in Aegiron's success.

• Impact: Build the hardware platform that will redefine European critical infrastructure protection.
