We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made - not just how they’re executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking to hire our set of Founding Hardware Integration Engineers to help take Gallatin’s software off the cloud and into the field. You’ll evaluate, design, and get our systems running on rugged edge compute, connected to sensors and tactical communications, and working reliably in disconnected, contested environments.\nYou’ll work alongside our infrastructure, fullstack, AI, and product teams, and directly with operators during tests, exercises, and operations. You’ll own integration work end to end with senior engineers around you to learn from and push on as well as junior engineers to help mentor and develop.\nWhat You’ll Do\nIntegrate Software Onto Real Hardware\nIntegrate Gallatin software and hardware systems on rugged edge compute, vehicle-mounted systems, and fielded kits, from the bench to deployment\n\nBring up, configure, and harden Linux-based systems, including drivers, networking, and update processes\n\nConnect our stack to sensors, radios, and tactical networks through standard interfaces and protocols\n\nMake It Work in Hard Environments\nBuild and test for degraded, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth conditions\n\nSupport field tests,exercises and operations, troubleshoot failures on site, and drive fixes back into the system at rapid pace\n\nTrack down and solve issues across power, thermal, and environmental constraints\n\nStrengthen the Integration Process\nContribute to repeatable processes for hardware configuration, test, and deployment\n\nWrite the test plans, documentation, and checklists that make fielding systems faster and more reliable\n\nEvaluate hardware components and bring clear recommendations to the team\n\nPartner Across the Stack\nWork with software and AI engineers to surface real hardware limits early\n\nCapture what operators tell you in the field and feed it back to product\n\nSupport security and accreditation work for systems that touch classified networks\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n3+ years in hardware integration, systems integration, or embedded engineering\n\nSolid Windows or Linux fundamentals: system configuration, networking, and troubleshooting\n\nHands-on experience with hardware interfaces and networking (Ethernet, serial, CAN, USB, IP networking)\n\nWorking proficiency in Python, C, or C++ for integration, tooling, and test\n\nComfort debugging hands-on with incomplete information\n\nU.S. citizenship and an active Secret, Top Secret,TS/SCI clearance, or willingness to go through the process to obtain one\n\nBased in El Segundo, or willing to relocate\n\nBonus Points\nExperience integrating tactical radios, MANET, or SATCOM\n\nFamiliarity with the TAK ecosystem (ATAK, WinTAK, TAK Server)\n\nContainers and fleet management at the edge (Docker, k3s)\n\nExperience supporting RMF or ATO packages\n\nExposure to MIL-STD environmental testing (810, 461)\n\nMilitary service or prior experience supporting operators in the field\n\nBackground at a defense hardware, robotics, or autonomy company\n\nMission and Identity\nWe are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we’re doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn’t stop until something actually works.\nOur mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn’t just run; it gets smarter. We’re not building AI for its own sake. We’re building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can’t wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent - you’ll fit in here.\nWhy Gallatin?\nThe logistics infrastructure that supports America’s warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we’re solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.\nCompensation\nGallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401(k), unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.\nGallatin is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.\nThis position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. The successful candidate must be able to work in a classified environment when necessary.\nWe comply with the United States Department of Labor’s Pay Transparency provision.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5389,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Military","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T01:10:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":137,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T00:01:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":43,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673248},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673248"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgallatin-founding-hardware-integration-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4124439}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gallatin.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4124439},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
