About
Sovereign-scale infrastructure, at lightspeed.
Our mission is to deliver new infrastructure at lightspeed for the United States and its allies. In the race to build an autonomous future, success will be decided by whoever shows up first with equipment that works.
We design and build forward-deployed, expeditionary equipment for autonomous systems. Everything we make is engineered in Austin, built in America, and works the day it lands.
How we work
Field first
Hardware is judged in the field, not in the lab. We build for salt, heat, transport loads, and no second chances.
First principles
We start from a mission need and a date, not a requirements document. We make decisions quickly and own the consequences.
Velocity
Speed is the product. Any process that slows us down gets cut.
Team
The founding team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, and Saronic, where they fielded ground stations, charging networks, and autonomous systems at scale.
Company
First Order Effects is an American company headquartered in Austin, Texas. We are hiring, and open roles are posted on our careers page.
