Careers
Join the team building the next generation of atmospheric intelligence. Applications are handled on Wellfound.
Direct enterprise-scale operations, resource deployment, and tactical execution. Oversees organizational growth, strategic partnerships, and end-to-end mission delivery across regional operations.
Navigate complex regulatory landscapes, secure FAA approvals/waivers, and manage municipal and federal policy coordination. Leads institutional outreach to anchor our atmospheric operations within state and national guidelines.
Direct day-to-day tactical flight deployments, manage remote pilot crews, and enforce operational safety protocols. Orchestrates active field missions and hardware readiness across regional launch zones.
Support flight-line operations, pre/post-flight checks, and field maintenance of autonomous aircraft. Executes hands-on hardware readiness, telemetry validation, and safe deployment of unmanned systems in active mission environments.
Coordinate daily operational workflows across field crews, logistics, and mission scheduling. Ensures resources, timelines, and readiness align with active deployment demands.
Own operational cadence across flight programs, logistics, and cross-functional teams. Translates strategic priorities into repeatable execution, KPIs, and mission-ready field capacity.
Lead go-to-market, partnerships, and commercial expansion across public and private sectors. Drives customer acquisition, strategic accounts, and revenue growth for atmospheric operations at scale.
