Echodyne is the developer of metamaterials-based radar technology designed to operate autonomous machines safely at any time and in any weather. The company's technology delivers radar vision, a combination of agile imaging radar hardware with computer vision-like software for classification, recognition, and perception, enabling organizations to get autonomous applications in drones, cars, trucks, and heavy machines.
Echodyne was co-founded by CEO Eben Frankenberg and CTO Tom Driscoll, who have leveraged their expertise to make the company a leader in electronically scanned array (ESA) radars. With $195 million in total funding, including a recent $135 million Series C, Echodyne is scaling up production and distribution to meet growing demand. The company has secured major customers like the U.S. Army, Department of Homeland Security, NASA, and Northrop Grumman.
Employees joining at this stage will have the opportunity to help bring cutting-edge technology to new markets, working alongside an accomplished team at a well-capitalized growth company. However, Echodyne will need to successfully navigate the challenges of industrialization and deliver on the promise of its radar tech in emerging applications beyond its initial defense focus. The company must also differentiate itself in an increasingly competitive market for autonomous machine perception solutions.
