Three American defense companies raised money last week, taking in $51.1M.

On Tuesday, Easy Aerial announced a $20M Series B led by Insight Partners, with Entrée Capital and private US investors. The Brooklyn company builds drone-in-a-box systems; a UAS that lives in a weatherproof enclosure and launches itself. Their careers page lists 11 open roles: eight in New York City and three in Belgrade.

Aslan Protects came out of stealth with a $20.8M announcement, co-led by Khosla Ventures and XYZ. Aslan builds AI agents that pose as people inside criminal forums and dark web markets, collecting evidence for the FBI and intelligence agencies. They have 6 open roles and are planning to double their headcount (from 10) by the end of October.

On Wednesday, Critical Materials Group raised a $10.3M seed led by Overmatch Ventures, with Victory Six Advisors and Fulcrum Ventures. CMG builds modular, automation-ready plants for making energetics — the propellants and explosives that go inside everything else. No careers page is live yet.

Two big fundraising announcements this week with jobs implications:

On Tuesday, Ursa Major agreed to go public through a SPAC merger with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. III at a post-deal value of about $2.3B, with at least $350M in PIPE commitments and roughly $110M funded at signing. The money is going to be used to turn the Galeton, Colorado test site into a large-scale solid rocket motor production campus. The company already runs six facilities and about 360 people on nearly 500 acres. (100 Open Jobs)

Two days later, Regent closed a $240M Series B — half equity, half debt — co-led by Mare Liberum and AE Ventures (with Founders Fund, Caffeinated Capital, Lockheed Martin Ventures, Japan Airlines, and Giant Step Capital returning). That takes Regent to $340M total. This goes to: the first human flight of the Viceroy seaglider, manufacturing at the Rhode Island plant, and the unmanned Squire.(18 open roles)

This week the money kept pouring in, with significant amounts heading to factories.

Castelion closed a $1B Series C on Thursday — $800M in equity plus a $250M credit facility — at a $13B valuation, co-led by Andreessen Horowitz, Carlyle, and JPMorganChase. The company has booked more than $500M in military contracts since 2022, and now it has to build the Blackbeard missile in quantity. Its careers page is carrying roughly 200 openings.

The same day, Muon Space raised a $250M Series C at a $1.5B valuation, led by Eclipse with Google and Salesforce in the round. Muon put ten roles on the board this week alone — mechanical, FPGA, onboard compute, and an engineering manager for mission mechanical. Their jobs board has over 100 active listings.

A day later, Starcloud added $250M at a $2.3B valuation to put data centers in orbit, with Nvidia joining the round. Thirteen open roles, all engineering, nearly all in Redmond, WA. Satellite work, with AI budgets!

This week in market-moving action:

Boeing handed Archer three of its autonomy subsidiaries — Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid — and took a nearly 20% stake in Archer in return. Boeing sheds the assets, Archer inherits the ScanEagle line and its old eVTOL rival, and a public company suddenly owns one of the deeper autonomy benches in the sector. (~167 roles)

AEVEX agreed to buy BlackSea Technologies for up to $650M, moving from air ISR into maritime autonomy in one step. Between the two deals, more than $1B of defense autonomy changed hands in 72 hours. (70+ roles)

Neros closed a $250M Series C at a $2.5B valuation, co-led by Sequoia and American Strategic, to scale FPV and interceptor drone production. (65 roles) And Heaviside raised $60M at $600M — three months after leaving stealth on a $28M Series A — alongside a warhead supply deal with Norwegian munitions maker Nammo. (10 roles)

Finally, NODA AI, which we featured last week, landed a $100M contract. Don’t sleep on NODA! (31 roles)

Happy hunting! Now, onto the jobs…

Drones (and counter drones) are the name of the game this week!

Europe on the board! Cambridge Aerospace raised $300M Series C at a $3.4B post-money this week, led by DFJ Growth with Lux, Accel, Lakestar, and Elad Gil participating. The British startup builds low-cost interceptors for drones and cruise missiles — the whole pitch being that $500 drones shouldn’t have to be met with $2M missiles. Nearly 50 open roles available.

Similar thesis, smaller check: Aurelius Systems took a $40M Series A co-led by Draper Associates and KAS to scale Archimedes, its autonomous laser c-UAS platform. Aurelius is currently just 19 people but has 16 roles open and a stated plan to double headcount by year-end.

Atlas Motion came out of stealth with $11.5M from Greycroft, building motors and actuators for drones and defense platforms. Hiring still TBD.

And we can’t close out the lede without mentioning manufacturing rockstar Hadrian, which closed $1.37B at a $7.87B valuation on Thursday, its second raise in 13 months. Wunderkind Chris Power has 132 open roles for the factory-curious.

This week’s board skews heavily toward manufacturing and production engineering. If you have been on the fence about a factory-floor role at a venture-backed company, this is the week to look.

Now, onto the jobs…

Featured Job: if you are an experienced Forward-Deployed Engineer who has hacked it at the highest levels and is now looking to be employee #1 in a career-defining role with a heroic founder in the Special Operations, reach out with your resume. Must be technical. Don’t kid yourself!

]]><![CDATA[139 Defense Tech Jobs 🚀]]>https://www.defensetechjobs.com/p/139-defense-tech-jobshttps://www.defensetechjobs.com/p/139-defense-tech-jobsTue, 28 Jul 2026 11:03:57 GMTGood morning,

Three security companies raised big money last week and we dove into the hiring implications:

Cathedral, founded by former DOGE staffers, closed $160M at a $1.4B valuation from a16z and Sequoia to build AI for military cyber operations. And, with no public presence, we’ve got nothing for you… yet.

Twenty added a $30M Series B extension from Khosla at $1.2B, barely a month after its $100M Series B. Twenty is hiring 34 people right now — more openings than the 43 cyber roles we track across a dozen companies combined!

  • 21 of the 34 are engineering roles, and 24 sit in the DC area.

  • Five roles carry “offensive” in the title.

  • Two require TS/SCI on day one.

Glow emerged from stealth with $180M at $1.2B, led by Sequoia and Cyberstarts. They have 14 openings, out of Tel Aviv and Palo Alto.

We’ll keep an eye on how news impacts hiring, whether on the private or public side, so keep us posted on any “scoops!”

Now, onto the jobs…

Good morning. If your feel like the money in defense tech is moving faster than before, you’re not wrong: venture funding into defense, national security, and law enforcement startups has already topped $14.6B in the first five months of 2026 — blowing past the entire full-year record of $9.6B set in 2025. Three takeaways from the last week of hiring and headlines:

1. The capital is concentrating, and so are the jobs. 2026 is the year of “fewer, bigger” rounds — Anduril’s $5B Series H (a $30.5B valuation), Shield AI’s $2B Series G, and Saronic’s $1.75B Series D have soaked up an outsized share of the sector’s dollars. That gravity shows up directly in our board this week: Anduril, Shield AI, and the space primes are posting across every job family at once, from talent acquisition to weapons program management.

2. Manufacturing scale is the new battleground. Analysts are calling production throughput the defining competition of 2026, and the open roles back that up. The most senior listings this week skew heavily toward manufacturing engineering, operations leadership, and process — think VP of Operations, Director of Manufacturing, and a wave of senior manufacturing engineers. Defense hardware shops now post ~50% more unique roles per company than software startups, because shipping a physical product needs mechanical, firmware, and forward-deployed talent simultaneously.

3. Autonomy and space keep pulling demand. With the talk of a new Robotic and Autonomous Systems command being stood up, the engineering demand is clustering around autonomy, GNC, and orbital infrastructure. You’ll see that reflected below in the software and hardware sections.

As I watched the planes streak overhead this weekend, I couldn’t help but think to myself: “man it must suck to be on the other team.”

I hope you all were able to spend some quality time with family and friends, holding close the memory of those who paid the ultimate price so that we are able to live our lives free of fear.

Their sacrifice is sacred.

And when you see the military might of American engineers, you may also be reminded that industry has a role to play in ensuring that fewer Americans ever have to pay that price. The technical prowess of our entrepreneurs play a key role in ensuring our enemies have no easy day and no safe harbor.

So, thanks for being here.
