Company:
Airphrame, a well funded venture-backed startup based in San Francisco, is building the technology to control fleets of autonomous devices in a scalable and centralized manner. That's right, tens of thousands of robots under our control... do I have your attention?
Our product focus is the development of a UAV-based “on-demand imaging platform,” primarily for data collection, to assist civil engineers, land surveyors, environmental engineers, and other professionals. Our technology has already demonstrated a tenfold cost reduction compared to traditional survey operations. Our goal is to use that advantage to open up a new realm of data acquisition strategies.
Airphrame has been developing drone technology since 2012. We were the first to demonstrate Internet-only based control and the first to utilize fleets commercially (completely without pilots). We've done more with less and plan to keep it that way. We prefer to work with small teams of talented people rather than large teams of “pretty good” engineers. We're a tight knit group, with immense respect for each other's complementary skill sets. We thrive on pushing the boundaries and our company mascot is a bourbon Manhattan.
We’re looking for self-directed, versatile individuals who work well in teams. You should be able to say you are the absolute best at what you do.
