Job Description

Skyfront manufactures extreme endurance, hybrid-electric multirotor drones for heavy-duty commercial and defense applications.

  • The ability to solder a microcontroller onto a PCB
  • Exceptional attention to detail

Preferred skills

What we offer you

  • Learning opportunities in a high-demand, growing field (UAVs / drones) and in a rapidly growing company
  • The opportunity to change the aviation industry, set records and push the boundaries of flight
  • A meritocratic, yet collaborative work environment where excellence is recognized and rewarded
