  • Strong backing and a credible path to scale

What We’re Looking For:

  • Degree in Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline
  • Demonstrated experience operating fixed-wing or small UAS platforms, with a focus on autonomous systems
  • FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate
  • US Citizenship required (ITAR environment)
