Mountain View, United States GovGPT Full time

Company Description

GovernmentGPT (“GovGPT”) is a startup that develops novel and burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with dual-use applications in the civilian and military sectors. GovGPT’s hardware and software are customizable and can be tailored based on the specific mission requirements of each customer, whether that involves developing a unique, end-to-end solution or integrating with an existing vendor to provide a robust set of enhanced capabilities in support of Police, Fire, and the Warfighter.


Role Description

We are actively seeking a specialized Material Science Engineer to focus on the development and refinement of mesh materials used in the GovGPT Pufferfish Shield counter-drone defense systems. This role centers on engineering cutting-edge mesh designs for the GovGPT™ Pufferfish system, aimed at neutralizing aerial drone threats through rapid deployment technologies.


Product Description

The GovGPT Pufferfish is something we are working on with the U.S. and U.K. special forces: which is an expandable “airbag” for tanks, buildings, boats, and infrastructure which expands in milliseconds to provide a barrier to incoming drone strikes. See related utility patent applications, RAPIDLY EXPANDABLE ANTI-DRONE MESH SYSTEM AND METHOD.

(See Figures 27 and 28)


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize advanced mesh materials specifically engineered to intercept and neutralize drone threats in a rapid deployment environment.
  • Evaluate and enhance the strength, durability, and expansion capabilities of mesh materials to withstand impacts from various drone types, including high-speed and explosive drones.
  • Innovate and apply combinations of materials such as ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), graphene, and Kevlar to improve the blast resistance and structural integrity of the mesh.
  • Conduct rigorous testing and simulations to assess the mesh’s performance under real-world aerial attack scenarios, focusing on its ability to rapidly deploy and effectively neutralize threats.
  • Develop self-healing and energy-absorbing materials to enhance the longevity and resilience of the mesh after deployment.
  • Work collaboratively with aerospace engineers and defense strategists to integrate the mesh materials with electronic and mechanical deployment systems.
  • Lead scalability and manufacturing processes to ensure that the mesh materials can be produced efficiently for wide-scale deployment in various military and civilian defense applications.
  • Stay at the forefront of material science research to incorporate the latest technological advancements into the mesh design.



Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Material Science, Engineering, or related field, with a focus on materials for defense applications.
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in material development for military or defense industries, with a strong background in fabrics and composites used in protective applications.
  • Expertise in the properties of polymers, composites, and metals under dynamic impact conditions.
  • Demonstrated success in innovative material solutions, with practical experience in bringing designs from concept to testing and use in operational environments.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
  • Proficiency in the use of CAD and material simulation software.



Desirable Skills:

  • Prior experience in UAV or aerospace defense projects.
  • Knowledge of rapid deployment mechanisms and their integration with material systems.
  • Familiarity with international standards and certifications for military-grade materials.



What We Offer:

  • A leading role in the development of innovative defense technologies that address emerging threats from unmanned aerial systems.
  • A dynamic, collaborative, and resource-rich environment for professional development.
  • Competitive compensation package, including comprehensive benefits and opportunities for advancement.



How to Apply:

Candidates are invited to apply by submitting a detailed resume, a cover letter highlighting relevant experiences, and any pertinent portfolio items that demonstrate expertise in defensive material design, particularly in counter-drone technologies.

This position is a critical component of our strategic initiatives to enhance aerial defense mechanisms, providing an exciting opportunity for a forward-thinking engineer to contribute significantly to national and global security efforts.
