Skydio is an American drone company founded in 2014 by MIT engineers who had worked on Google's Project Wing, and it built its reputation on autonomous flight rather than on airframes. Its aircraft navigate and avoid obstacles using onboard computer vision without relying on satellite positioning or a skilled pilot, which is what allows an untrained operator to inspect a bridge or clear a building. Headquartered in San Mateo, it exited the consumer market in 2023 to concentrate entirely on public safety, defence and infrastructure inspection, where it is the largest American drone manufacturer.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

56 of the 56 roles here state no citizenship, export-control or security-clearance demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which aerospace companies hire most?

ArkEdge Space (13), Synspective (11), Interstellar Technologies (10), Axelspace Holdings (4), SkyDrive (4).

Which roles count as aerospace jobs?

Every propulsion, GNC, avionics, aerodynamics, structures, spacecraft, satcom, launch, flight test and aircraft maintenance role at any employer, and the engineering, science, technician, data and IT roles of the aviation and space companies - aircraft makers and airlines' engineering, launch, satellites, Earth observation, eVTOL. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out, and so is weapons and missile work.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
