Armada is a hyperscaler for edge AI infrastructure, delivering modular solutions for distributed, sovereign compute. The company has raised nearly $500M from top-tier investors (Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock, Microsoft M12) and partners with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. Armada's platform is deployed across 60+ countries for energy, defense, and other sectors requiring edge and offline-capable AI.
As Distinguished Engineer / Technical Fellow, you will serve as the primary architect of Armada's long-term technical vision. This is a builder-leader role combining deep hands-on technical work with strategic influence across the organization.
Key responsibilities include: architecting the Armada Edge Platform (AEP) for seamless orchestration of compute and AI workloads across globally distributed, high-latency, and disconnected environments; leading R&D for "Next Horizon" projects such as Data Centers in Space, including orbital compute modules, radiation-tolerant software, thermal management, and power-constrained AI processing; collaborating with strategic industry partners to co-design deep-tech solutions that deepen product adoption; defining the 3–5 year technical roadmap in high-density GPU orchestration and orbital data processing; serving as final escalation point for complex architectural challenges in real-time data streaming, computer vision, and network-aware workload distribution; leading proof-of-concepts for in-orbit inference, adaptive edge learning, and secure Earth-to-space data orchestration; and mentoring Staff and Principal engineers to elevate engineering rigor across the organization.
You will work across terrestrial and space-based infrastructure, solving novel problems in distributed systems, AI workload optimization, and sovereign compute. This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of edge AI infrastructure at a well-funded, high-impact company.
