Daedalean

Daedalean is the artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy hub of Destinus Group, a rapidly growing European defense and aerospace company developing the next generation of autonomous drones, effectors, and flight systems.
Based in Zurich, we develop safety-critical AI for aviation at the intersection of world-class research and real hardware. Our expertise spans computer vision, deep learning, and onboard reasoning – systems that can perceive the world, understand it, and make decisions in real time.
Our technology underpins both civil aviation systems (pilot assistance, navigation, perception) and defense applications (GNSS-denied navigation, seekers, mission autonomy, and swarming).
Our algorithms aren't just theoretical concepts or simulations; they run on real aircraft and unmanned systems, serving as a critical component of Europe's security architecture in complex, contested environments.
If you care about making AI that actually flies and matters, not just benchmarks, Daedalean is where you can do that work.

Why You'll Love Working at Daedalean (Destinus Group):

• AI that actually flies: You develop perception, decision-making, and control algorithms that are deployed on real aircraft and autonomous systems, not just for demonstrations.
• Complex real-world problems: You use computer vision, deep learning, robotics, and avionics to enable machines to see and understand the world in all conditions, whether it's a crowded airspace, bad weather, or a GPS-denied environment.
• Academia + Industry + Impact: You have the freedom to pioneer new technologies and the satisfaction of seeing your work launched on industrial platforms across Europe.
• Tight Swiss team, big European mission: Our office is in Zurich, but our work is part of a broader European effort to develop autonomous systems that protect people and enhance Europe’s strategic autonomy.
• Real ownership: Few layers, lots of trust. If you like taking on hard problems and finishing what you start, you'll feel right at home here.
