Build What Matters

We are building advanced autonomous systems for defense and commercial applications. We are looking for engineers, operators, and builders who want to work on hard technical problems with real-world impact.

Why Peregrine

Systems That Work in the Field

Peregrine is a San Diego-based defense technology company developing autonomous strike and counter-UAS munition systems. Our primary platforms are in active flight testing and advancing toward government evaluation. We are a small, experienced team moving fast.

Our engineering culture prioritizes field performance over theoretical elegance. Systems that work in the field matter more than systems that work in the lab. If you want to build systems that operators actually use, in environments where the stakes are real, keep reading.
