About Us:
Beacon AI is on a mission to transform aviation by integrating AI assistance into every professional flight deck, enhancing flight safety and efficiency for both defense and commercial aircraft operators. We're building two groundbreaking products:
Lighthouse: An AI operations and safety data platform.
Murdock: An AI pilot assistant that we envision as the "R2-D2 for pilots."
We believe in the power of AI to augment human capabilities, ensuring safer and more efficient flights. Our growing success includes 10 DOD contracts, a POC with Emirates Airlines, and partnerships with another major airline. We're proud to be backed by Sam Altman, Scout Ventures, JetBlue Ventures, and other leading investors. Our advisory board includes prominent figures from the NTSB and FAA, such as Chairman Robert Sumwalt and Associate Administrator Ali Bahrami.
Why Join Us?
Our small but talented engineering team is expanding to meet high customer demand. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing company at the forefront of aviation technology.
Engineering Opportunities:
We're hiring across various engineering domains and looking for individuals who are passionate, skilled, and eager to push the boundaries of what's possible. Some key roles include:
Advanced Pilot Assistant Software (C++, Python, AI/Autonomy/Flight Software/Feature Engineer)
-- This role builds the brains for Murdock. This application also works for adjacent roles like tracking, prediction, behavior, or route/path planning optimization.
Senior React Web Application Engineer
-- This role builds our web application, Lighthouse.
Cloud Infrastructure Software
-- AWS Cloud
Backend Developer
-- This role focuses on designing, developing, and optimizing our serverless cloud systems, with a focus on reliability through testing and monitoring.
