The company
About Epirus
E pirus is a high-growth technology company dedicated to overcoming the asymmetric challenges inherent to the future of national security. Epirus' flagship product, Leonidas, is a software-defined system built using intelligent power management techniques which allow power-hungry systems to do more with less.

Under an agile development framework, Technical Project Managers at Epirus serve as both scrum masters and product owners, leading research and development projects from initial planning through delivery of first-article solutions.
