About Armaments Research Company
Armaments Research Company (ARC) is a startup dedicated to bringing real time situational awareness and battlefield logistics capabilities to both the DoD and law enforcement personnel. You will be an integral part of the ARC team, and will be creating innovative and powerful IoT devices that feed data to the ARC technology stack. Our core offering is an embedded device designed in-house that pushes real time data to the cloud and back down to tactical users on a mobile android device. The information our device provides enables battlefield/tactical awareness that does not exist today. ARC technologies were initially developed in support of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) and leverage internet-of-things (IoT) technology and machine learning (ML) to develop actionable insights and transform security responses.
ARC's core technology gathers data related to key weapon platform outputs which requires a suite of sensors that are transparent to the end user. The ARC products enable aggregated insights over big data sets that will be used to save lives on the frontline. This novel technology is deployed at scale on US Military and Law Enforcement weapons to enhance safety, decision making, and transparency for ground personnel.
What You'll Do
The Senior Android Engineer is responsible for building and supporting our mobile application suite that includes applications specific to the military. You will be building and developing our data collection applications and situational awareness tools. You are part of a high caliber team dedicated to both mission and advancing ground-breaking technology. You will have the opportunity to learn and expand your own knowledge base, leveraging a highly skilled team of co-workers while working remotely. As ARC's senior mobile app developer, you will be independently and collaboratively building Android applications that link ARC's cutting edge IoT sensors with an AI-enabled cloud that provides unprecedented situational awareness of events on the ground for DoD clients. You will closely collaborate with both firmware and cloud teams, operating as the central communications and user engagement point of contact for field deployed devices.
Role Responsibilities - How You Will Make an Impact
This position will require access to restricted information and facilities protected under U.S. laws and regulations, including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Please note that any offer for employment will be conditioned on any required authorization to receive access to such restricted information and facilities necessary to perform the responsibilities of the position.
Citizenship Verification: This position requires verification of U.S. Citizenship to meet federal government security screening requirements required for this role.
What We Offer:
Equity Options
401k plan
Employer paid employee medical, dental and vision
13 paid holidays plus Flexible PTO Policy
