About this role

R&D Test Engineer Austin | OnSite Location: Onsite - Austin, TX Employment Type: Direct Hire, Full‑Time Job Title: R&D Test Engineer About 9 Mothers The modern battlefield has changed. Cheap, autonomous suicide drones have turned the tactical advantage upside down, and the world is looking for a solution. At 9 Mothers, we aren't just "innovating"-we are building the shield. Backed by top-tier investors, we develop AI powered machines designed to intercept and neutralize Group 1/sUAS threats in real-time. Our flagship product is a low-power, counter-drone system built for the edge-on vehicles, at bases, or in a soldier's pack. Why 9 Mothers? While others build for "awareness" or "long-term research," we build for the immediate survival of those in harm's way. We are a team of hackers, engineers, and mission-driven builders who value field-ready capability over polished slide decks. If you want to see your code or hardware in the field next month-not next year-this is your playground. Position Summary We are seeking an R&D Test Engineer to own our high-speed imaging capability end-to-end. Testing is central to how we work-we iterate fast and make decisions from data. This is not a camera operator role; it is a test engineering position where high-speed imaging is the primary diagnostic instrument used to deliver quantitative kinematic data that engineers can act on. The right person understands the scientific limitations of imaging, designs test setups that yield clean data, and produces analysis that directly answers critical engineering questions regarding firearms and counter-drone systems.
