Director of Engineering

Tucson, AZ.

Onsite;
Full time

World View was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with DZYNE Technologies, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next-generation U.S. defense platform integrating long-endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter-UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.

While World View is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as World View as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross-posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.

• You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense
• You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology
• You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects
• You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace

Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.

If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.

The Director of Engineering is a senior technical and people leadership role responsible for leading the engineering organization while providing technical oversight across all Stratospheric ISR programs. This individual will establish engineering priorities, guide technical strategy, and lead multidisciplinary engineering teams through the complete product development lifecycle—from concept development and system architecture through design, integration, verification, manufacturing, and operational deployment.

The ideal candidate combines deep systems engineering expertise with strong organizational leadership and a passion for developing high‑performing teams. This role partners closely with Program Management, Operations, Manufacturing, Business Development, and executive leadership to deliver innovative, mission‑critical aerospace systems.
