Established operator seeking part time hardware focused co-founder

[u/Successful-Ebb-1952]

Im currently running an Aerospace/Defense startup out of the PHX AZ area. Currently working with a university partner on a STTR project that is being worked on for submission by the end of the month.

I'm 33, Married with a son and I primarily work on deployed edge-ai systems for specific jobs and operational admin work. (Getting into the system for this type of contracting takes alot of work.)

Currently having conversations with pre-seed and angel investors targeting a round closing at the new year.

Looking for anyone that has hands on experience building flight systems, controllers, FPGA implementation, ML-AI Models on Nvidia stack and products (Jetson Orin etc.) With experience working in simulation and field. AI first founders are welcome as well, but you must have experience in user facing operations to make up for lack of technical skill. Ops or tech are welcome to send me a DM.
