Co-Founder

Company Description:

CypXcom is a deepteck startup. We build the invisible hardware security layer that keeps autonomous systems operational under attacks. Our flagship product, PodShield, is an inline hardware gateway built that sits between external inputs (GNSS, RF, command channels) and the guidance controller of autonomous platforms, across air, ground and maritime. It holds the line over more than 30 independent zones, with no operating system to attack, so the platform keeps functioning under GPS spoofing, RF jamming and command hijacking. This is operational continuity, not alerts. Where we are today: build MVP, a USPTO provisional patent filed, part of the 18X program, early pilot conversations underway, and a pre seed round forming.

Role Description

I am looking for a technical co-founder to build this with me, not an early employee.

You own embedded systems and integration end to end, take PodShield from MVP to a field ready product, and lead our second product, PodLink, a low cost mesh communication layer that connects mixed autonomous fleets. You shape the technical direction of the company from here, working alongside a strong HW and product team. Cofounder level equity with vesting.

Qualifications

• Product orientation: thinks in terms of the user, the use case and how technology becomes a product people deploy
• Business sense: understands customers, pilots and go to market, and can hold a room with a defense customer or an investor
• Wants ownership of a hard problem from the ground up
• HW literate, comfortable working next to the core
• A track record of taking hardware from prototype to field ready
