About the role
About Alta Ares
Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.
Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year. We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.
Role & Mission
Perform thermo-mechanical simulations: static, dynamic, vibration, shock, fatigue, etc.
Model and simulate pyrotechnic phenomena: explosions, pressure, fragmentation, and fluid–structure interaction, as required.
Define assumptions, models, boundary conditions, and acceptance criteria.
Analyze and interpret simulation results.
Provide recommendations for design and product improvements.
Correlate numerical results with experimental test data.
Support the planning and preparation of test campaigns.
Prepare calculation notes, simulation reports, and related technical documentation.
Contribute to the development and improvement of simulation methods and tools.
Ensure the traceability and quality of models and results.
Key Interfaces

Knowledge of pyrotechnic and/or ballistic phenomena.
Proficiency in one or more simulation tools: LS-DYNA, Abaqus, ANSYS, or equivalent.
Ability to analyze complex results and translate them into technical recommendations.
Knowledge of mechanical testing and simulation-to-test correlation.
Skills & Qualities
Hands-on engineer comfortable working with hardware and testing activities
Able to independently drive integration and qualification campaigns
Rigorous approach to safety, documentation, and regulatory compliance
Strong cross-functional communication and coordination skills
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-growing company
High integrity and professionalism in handling sensitive defense technologies
