Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scale up with an international and diverse team of 90+ dedicated Wingtranauts, and growing. Founded at ETH Zurich more than 5 years ago, our high-performance WingtraOne drone is continuously improved by a world-class team of 30+ engineers. By now our customers have grown from survey and mapping professionals to scientists, humanitarian organizations and environmentalists. They fly WingtraOne more than a thousand hours on a monthly basis. And we believe this is only the beginning—together we can achieve so much more.
You will be part of our highly cross-functional development team, solving complex aerial robotics challenges from research and development all the way to scaled up production. Your solutions will be employed by thousands of customers in challenging robotics applications worldwide.
