Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
Turn operational needs, customer feedback, and product direction into clear product specifications—and then drive those capabilities through decisions, design, development, and validation.
You will work directly with the Head of Product on Legion and become a core contributor to both defining the product and running the process around it.
You are given a problem such as:
“Operators need a better way to understand and respond to vehicle health issues during degraded communications.”
You meet with the relevant operators, engineers, customers, and stakeholders.
You understand the underlying problem.
You separate customer requests from actual product requirements.
You identify edge cases and unresolved decisions.
You write a product specification that clearly explains the intended behavior, workflows, system states, requirements, and open questions.
You work with Product Design to turn that specification into a strong interface.
You incorporate feedback, resolve ambiguity, and keep the feature moving until the capability works as intended.
The Head of Product provides direction and reviews the most important decisions—but does not need to personally produce every artifact or manage every follow-up.
Within the first few weeks, you should begin contributing directly to product specifications.
Initially, you may draft sections of specifications or own smaller, well-bounded capabilities with guidance from the Head of Product.
As your understanding of Legion, its operators, and the technical architecture grows, you will rapidly take ownership of larger features.
We are not looking for someone who spends six months observing before contributing.
You are an excellent writer.
You can take a complicated conversation and turn it into a clear product definition.
You have strong product judgment and are comfortable making reasonable decisions when requirements are incomplete.
You understand that a customer request is not automatically a product requirement.
You are technically curious and capable of participating meaningfully in discussions with software engineers, systems engineers, operators, and external partners.
Experience with any of the following would be especially valuable:
This is not a project coordinator role.
It is not a Scrum Master role.
It is not an administrative Product Operations position.
It is not someone whose primary contribution is scheduling meetings, maintaining Jira, or writing meeting minutes.
Those activities may occasionally be necessary, but they are secondary.
The primary contribution is:
understanding product problems and defining excellent solutions.
