Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, and V3 has a maximum range of well over 1,000 miles, a maximum useful load of 100 lbs, and a maximum endurance of nearly 20 hours. Both use a hybrid-electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long-range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure.
What they're looking for
- Maybe you don’t see a role that matches your background exactly, but you’re excited by what we’re doing. You love hard problems, real-world systems, and high-leverage impact
- An engineer who wants to see your designs fly
- A builder who thrives on autonomy and ownership
- A marketer or storyteller who can shape how the world sees what we do
- An operator who makes chaos run on rails
- A person who gets up in the morning thinking, “How do we make the future real?”
