About the role :
At Skydio, our mission is to make the world more productive, creative, and safe with autonomous flight. We have a deep belief in the transformative power of drones, and our products are used in critical industries across the world.
Customers choose Skydio because :
- We've invested in AI and autonomy since the inception of the company ten years ago. Our drones fly more intelligently than anything else in the market, turning any user into an expert pilot.
- Our products are simple-to-use and reliable due to vertical integration. We build all parts of the software stack in-house, including embedded systems, middleware, autonomy, cloud services, and manufacturing infrastructure.
- We are a U.S. company and assemble our drones at our factory in California.
In working with this software infrastructure team, you'll be at the center of Skydio's efforts to scale manufacturing, where our drones and the factories that build them are complex, collaborative systems. Our software guides production and tracks the history of every part, enabling efficient testing, validation, and quality assurance for every product we ship. To meet global customer demand, we need to level-up our software architecture to handle more product lines, more factories, bigger teams of contributors, and integration with external partners, all while keeping quality extremely high.
The core team consists of high performing software engineers working in a cross-functional environment. Projects sit at the intersection of backend services, embedded software, frontend UI, and electrical engineering.
