About Darkhive, INC

Darkhive is making robotics accessible. Established in 2021, we are focused on the application of robotics in the public safety and defense communities. Our approach in accessibility is built on three pillars: low-cost, ease-of-use, and open interface design.

With our autonomy software stack, military and public safety users intuitively interact with our robotics platforms which enable them to understand their environment and make decisions when it matters most. Our palm-sized, autonomous drone demonstrates the capabilities of our integrated software and hardware solutions.

The Lead Electrical Engineer Role:

Darkhive is building disposable sUAS platforms. This requires a unique blend of design and engineering to produce a product our customers love to use.

You will:

  • create and refine the technology inside the sUAS designs.
  • provide expertise across a range of products to meet requirements and production needs.
  • be hands on conducting research, prototyping, testing, and validation to ensure quality products that maintain a competitive price.
  • support and lead rapid product development cycles (3-6 months) with 6-week sprints.
  • test and debug electromechanical equipment.
  • provide innovative and cost effective solutioning.
  • corroborate across multi-functional teams.


If you have wanted to make sure the "right" system is developed for next level sUAS autonomy, come help us build a vision of making robots safe, easy, and affordable performing real tasks for their human counterparts.

The Lead Electrical Engineer is an exempt, non-supervisory position. The ideal candidate is in the San Antonio, Texas area or willing to regularly travel to San Antonio.
