Krateo Sky's mission is to expand human capability with intelligent aerial robotics.

We are building a Western at-scale AI perception and actuation platform for robotic flight and aerial intervention spanning defense, national security, infrastructure, public safety, and industrial operations. Our platform combines a common autonomy architecture, advanced perception, mission software into one connected system — built for operators who need autonomy they can trust, control, and sustain.

What makes Krateo Sky different is simple: we bring the leadership, operating discipline, and urgency that this moment demands. Our team has built, led, and scaled multi-billion-dollar global industrial companies and we are now applying that proven experience to accelerate the deployment of reliable autonomous systems. We are rapidly acquiring proven companies, integrating the best technology and talent, and building a vertically integrated, AI-native platform with speed and scale.

Anchored by a secure, Western-sourced supply chain and advanced manufacturing operations in Denton, Texas, Krateo Sky operates from first principles and executes for customers with purpose and pace.

Joining Krateo Sky means joining at a formative moment—when the systems, standards, and decisions we make now will shape how autonomous aerial capability scales in the years ahead. This is an opportunity to do consequential work alongside experienced leaders, help build a category-defining platform, and solve hard engineering and operational challenges that matter in the real world. As an AI-native organization, Krateo Sky is also building an environment where modern tools, automation, and connected systems help teams move faster, reduce manual work, and focus their energy on the highest-value problems.

For people who are motivated by mission, energized by building, and excited by the chance to combine speed, rigor, and intelligent automation, Krateo Sky offers the opportunity to have outsized impact on technology, operations, and the future of trusted autonomy.

Krateo Sky is hiring a Controls and Mission Systems (CMS) Capability Leader accountable for building, governing, and scaling a core technical capability that serves every product line in Krateo Sky’s portfolio. You will own the people, processes, tools, and standards for flight systems, avionics, command-and-control, navigation, datalinks, and mission-critical embedded systems. You will establish common flight systems architectures, define interface standards, and drive disciplined integration of avionics hardware, flight software, GNC, and mission computers.

You must be deeply comfortable driving functional excellence, safety, and manufacturability across the enterprise. You will establish shared engineering methods, reference architectures, tool chains, technical metrics, and review practices; chair capability-specific design reviews, independent technical reviews, and technical roadmaps; develop talent and career pathways; and ensure product teams have access to scalable, reusable technical depth.
