San Mateo, California, United States
Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial transportation. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, and operational excellence to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users - from first responders to insurance claims adjusters, utilities, and more!
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 enterprise focus is already making an impact in a wide range of industries across the world.
Customers choose Skydio because:
In leading this software infrastructure team, you’ll be at the center of Skydio’s efforts to scale manufacturing, where drones and the factories that build them are complex, collaborative systems. Our software 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 (Python + Flask), embedded software (C++/C), frontend (React + Typescript), and electrical engineering (Robotics and Hardware Fixtures).
If you have a passion for leading talented software engineers, are hands-on and thrive in complex hardware-software system projects, this role will be a great fit!
