Skydio | Redwood City, CA | Full-Time, Onsite (wfh during quarantine)

Open positions: Wireless Systems Architect, Mobile Engineers (Android, iOS, Cross-Platform), Backend (Cloud, Web, Distributed Systems), Embedded Linux

Skydio combines state-of-the-art autonomy with world-class hardware and software product development to make every aspect of flying drones more creative, more fun, more useful, and less stressful. We launched our second product in October 2019 to phenomenal reception (this IEEE Spectrum review, for example: https://bit.ly/2RDhl2F). Our founders met as MIT grad students prior to co-founding Google X’s Project Wing, and we have an exceptionally strong team spanning many disciplines. We recently raised our Series C (not yet publicly disclosed), and will be making a major push into large enterprise and government markets with more specialized software and hardware.

Not interested in a new role but I just want to say thank you for making such an awesome device! 'Flying' my skydio 2 has been just pure joy and wonder.

For those unfamiliar with their product, it is a drone that uses some cool computer vision tech to fly itself. You can set it to track you so that it will follow along while you go about your business hiking / mountaineering / kayaking or whatever - all the while dodging obstacles and navigating completely autonomously. First time in a while that I've been truly blown away by technology that feels damn close to magic.
