We are developing next-generation solutions that enable the autonomous orchestration of heterogeneous unmanned systems across air, sea, land, and space with vital applications in the defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors.

Our Operations team plays a critical role in ensuring NODA runs smoothly as we scale. The Facilities Manager owns the buildings, labs, and secure spaces where we build and test, along with the maintenance, safety, and security that keep them running.

Joining NODA means working on meaningful technology that pushes the boundaries of autonomy alongside a team that thrives on innovation, rapid iteration, and collaboration.
