Deterrence

🚨 Engineers: We're hiring! At Deterrence, we’re reinventing how America produces critical munitions—using robotics, automation, and AI to bring speed and scale back to defense manufacturing. We're hiring two senior engineers to help us stand up new production lines and greenfield facilities. You’ll ship real systems. 🔧 Staff Controls Development & Commissioning Engineer You’ll design and deploy advanced Siemens-based controls, integrate FANUC robots, and own functional safety end-to-end. 🏭 Staff Manufacturing Engineer You’ll lead facility layout, equipment selection, installation, FAT/SAT, and ramp-up. From greenfield to production in months—not years. This is high ownership, deeply technical, and moves fast. If you want to build, come join the team. 📍 U.S.-based with some travel 📩 Reach out if you're interested—or know someone we should meet.

We're looking forward to being at the Technology & National Security Conference this weekend. Our CEO, Dhruva Rajendra, will be on the Touch Tech: Engineering the Future of National Security panel. Come say hi if you'll be there, we'd love to connect!

Energetics—the critical materials behind every munition—are the Achilles' heel of the U.S. defense industrial base. 🎙️ On the latest episode of Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP’s NatSec Tech podcast, our CEO Dhruva Rajendra breaks it down with Jeanne Meserve. Don't miss this conversation, at link in comments or wherever you get your podcasts! The problem: - The U.S. relies on outdated, decades-old manufacturing equipment—some of it predates WWII. - We depend on adversaries like China and Russia for key energetic materials. - The defense industrial base can’t scale fast enough to keep up with modern warfare. The solution? Automating energetics production with robotics, AI, and modern manufacturing. That’s what we’re building at Deterrence, our mission is to close the munitions gap with America's near peer adversaries. Don't miss episode, thanks to the SCSP team for having us.

We had a great time participating in The Future of Manufacturing panel at the Tectonic Defense Summit in Austin, TX. Thank you to John Burer of American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation (ACMI) for leading a lively discussion with Miles Arnone from Re:Build Manufacturing, Mike Manazir from Hadrian, and our CEO Dhruva Rajendra. The panel sparked thoughtful discussion and insights on the state of U.S. manufacturing and the path ahead as we work to rebuild and strengthen the American industrial base. The mission is clear—and there's much to do. Congratulations to the Tectonic team on a successful event!

🚀 Deterrence raises $10.1 million in seed funding, led by Riot Ventures! This funding accelerates our mission to revolutionize the production of energetics. Our vision is bold:  ✅ To modernize an industry that hasn’t changed in nearly a century.  ✅ To strengthen the resilience of our industrial base and ensure America’s competitiveness.  ✅ To build a safer, more reliable, and scalable future for energetics manufacturing.    We’re grateful for the trust of investors who share our vision for innovation in this critical sector. #DefenseTechnology #Robotics #AI #Defense #Innovation #NationalSecurity

We are excited to announce Patrick Long as our new Head of Federal Sales, joining us from Palantir Technologies. During his 20 years in the US Army, Patrick held leadership roles navigating complex operational, logistical, and technological challenges, including modernizing supply chains, managing IT systems for aviation maintenance, and integrating cutting-edge solutions into legacy environments. At Palantir and Microsoft—two of the largest technology providers to the United States Department of Defense—Patrick drove initiatives for some of the largest DoD accounts, including Missile Defense Agency, Army Materiel Command, PEO Missile and Space, Space and Missile Defense Command, and Army Contracting Command. His proven track record in the missile and munitions domain—from small-caliber rounds to hypersonic systems—coupled with a blend of technical and operational expertise, aligns directly with Deterrence’s focus on automating the production of reliable, safe energetics at scale. We are confident that Patrick’s leadership will elevate Deterrence to the next level as we continue to innovate for the warfighter. Please join us in welcoming Patrick to the team!
