Overview
For our live events department, we are looking for someone who can translate the emotions of a soundtrack into drone choreography while also bringing solid engineering skills to the table. In this role you’ll help create new choreographies for world-class productions such as Eurovision and artists including Celine Dion and Justin Bieber. Beyond the artistic work, you’ll also contribute to the technical backbone: developing new control algorithms, qualifying hardware components, and improving the support tools that keep our global fleet flying reliably.
We are Entrepreneurs, Engineers, Artists, Professionals, Mathematicians, and Designers; all working as one.
Do you thrive at the intersection of art and technology? Do you want to join a fast-moving young company where your contributions will make a difference? Then join us!
