We believe that credible deterrence of armed conflict and winning if deterrence fails, requires more than just the best drones, sensors, weapons, electronic warfare systems, and command & control capabilities. Those critical components will require sustained electric power in austere and resource-constrained environments. Moreover, military units must be able to turn off the trucks and generators that generate this power to hide and survive. In other words, power generation must be decoupled from power consumption. Chariot Defense’s products enable exactly this capability, allowing U.S. and allied militaries to be more lethal and survivable. We hope you will join us on this mission.</span></p> <p></p></div><p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span> <br><br>Chariot Defense is seeking a motivated and hands-on Engineering Technician to join our engineering team, reporting to the Systems Integration Lead.
