Streamline Systems (F26)
We're building the replacement for GPS. A low-cost navigation module that positions platforms and guides drones without satellites. It's flying today. Now we need it hardened, productised and manufacturable.
I’m looking for a founding electrical engineer to own the hardware that makes satellite-free navigation real. Extremely high agency is what I care most about; you'll own the electronics end-to-end and have the freedom to run with it.
You should have:
- Experience owning a board from design and manufacture through bring-up and testing
- Deep RF design experience: you've designed and debugged real RF circuits and taken boards from schematics to working hardware
- Built something cool outside of work or school
Nice to have:
- Low-power embedded hardware and power systems
- Writing low-level C code and libraries (drivers, DSP, hardware bring-up)
- Antenna design and integration
Why join:
- Remove satellite dependency for the US, UK and allies. Real impact, real customers (LOIs signed, government trials scheduled)
- High agency, founding-level ownership of the hardware
- $60 -100k + 0.5-2% with a path to technical leadership
- $10k/year for a side project of your choosing
SF for the batch, US/UK after, be flexible on location. Applicant must have US or UK citizenship. If this is you, apply now.

About Streamline Systems
Streamline Systems is building the replacement for GPS. Satellite positioning has become the single point of failure for almost every modern system, both military and civil. We've built the replacement. A drop-in module that integrates with existing Ardupilot, INAV and PX4 flight controllers, with demonstrated satellite-independent autonomous flight and GPS handoff. We're currently working with commercial and military end users to deploy the capability.
