Infrastructure for the Autonomous Era · First in. First up.

On-site · Austin, TX

--------------------------------------------------- You know your way around the machines that make parts, and you turn designs into hardware that ships. Joining early means the shop's standards and the quality of what goes out the door are yours to set.

First Order Effects (FOE) is building America's Infrastructure Prime for the robotic era. Autonomous ships, drones, and robots are rewriting how the world moves, fights, and builds - but none of them work without infrastructure to power them, connect them, and launch and recover them. That's what we build.

Our team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, Saronic, Lockheed Skunk Works, Forterra, and Fuse Energy. Before founding FOE, we built satellite ground stations that closed a national comms gap in days, deployed multi-megawatt power systems at commercial speed, and shipped autonomous surface vessels into Navy fleet production. We've built infrastructure at lightspeed before - now we're applying that playbook to an entire company.

Build MESH and the dock: mechanical assembly, wiring harnesses, panel wiring, and integration.

Run and program shop tools: CNC, lathe, mill, 3D printers, and hand tools.

Fabricate, fit, and finish parts, and flag what does not go together so we fix the design, not just the part.

Support test and deployment, and keep the shop tight, organized, and safe.
