Skydio Autonomy

Skydio is the leading U.S. drone company and world leader in autonomous flight. Today our products are flown at scale in complex, unknown environments by a wide range of customers to capture incredible video, inspect critical infrastructure, and save lives in emergency response scenarios. Recently raised $170M at a $1B valuation led by a16z. We combine a creative environment with production hardware to enable our engineers to iterate at incredible speeds. Our team was the first to demonstrate and ship a deep-learning based visual obstacle avoidance system. We are now revolutionizing 3D scanning with the ability for our drones to autonomously capture structures to build millimeter-scale 3D models. We’re looking for engineers, researchers, and engineering managers with strong SW skills, mathematical fundamentals, and a drive to make robots fly themselves. Areas of interest include deep learning, computer vision, motion planning + controls, systems infrastructure, simulation, SDKs, and computational photography.
