Our newest aircraft carries 100 lbs for over 1,000 miles. We recently landed a $37M Air Force contract and are moving into full production. We do almost everything in-house at our 250k sq ft facility in Austin, so you'll be working directly with the hardware. We're hiring across the board to help scale: - Autonomy Lead (C++, Python) - CV & Robotics SWE - Senior Flight Controls Engineer - Senior Mechanical Engineer - Manufacturing Engineer - Director of Software Note: US Persons only due to government export controls.
