Skydio Autonomy | Redwood City, CA | Some Remote | Robotics / C++ / Python Skydio is the top US drone company (fundraise at 1B announced today!) and world leader in autonomous flight. Our drones are flown at scale in complex, unknown environments to capture incredible video, automate dangerous inspections, and save lives in emergencies. Visual walkthrough of our team: http://bit.ly/skydio-autonomy Customer highlights reel: https://youtu.be/4rdrtEU-9Bw 3D model: https://skfb.ly/6Zpvz The autonomy team is 20 people who drive the state-of-the-art in computer vision, motion planning, and high-performance systems infrastructure to make our robots intelligent. Our drones use 360 vision and all processing is done onboard. We combine a creative research environment with real production hardware to enable our engineers to iterate at incredible speeds. Our team was the first to demonstrate and ship a deep-learning based visual obstacle avoidance system. We are now revolutionizing 3D scanning with the ability for our drones to autonomously capture structures to build millimeter-scale 3D models. We’re looking for engineers and researchers with strong SW skills combined with strong mathematical thinking, and a drive to make flying robots get sh*t done. We’re also looking for world-class technical leaders in the areas of simulation, SDKs, systems infrastructure, object detection, computational photography and to lead our public sector work.
