Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
About the Role:
As a Senior Engineer on the Autonomy Data Curation team, you’ll help build a data flywheel. You’ll collect the data that matters most from internal and external fleets of drones and turn it into high-quality, model-ready datasets that Autonomy teams can consume quickly and confidently for training and model development. Close peers will include the Deep Learning and Computer Vision teams.
This role is an individual contributor who will report to the Director of Autonomy Data Curation.
How you'll make an impact:
Build and operate pipelines that transform raw autonomy logs & media into curated datasets with strong observability and clear ownership to make curated data more broadly reusable.
Build tooling that makes data discovery and slicing fast and self-serve for Autonomy teams. For example: media search tooling and hard mining loops with infra for auto-routing data to annotation.
Improve dataset quality and repeatability: versioning, provenance, and automated checks.
Apply privacy and security requirements throughout our processes (access controls, retention, redaction/anonymization).
Build with a data-driven and impact-forward mindset with dashboards highlighting cost, dataset balance, and audit details.
What makes you a good fit:
5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent), with significant ownership of production systems.
Strong proficiency in programming, demonstrable in at least one of our most frequently used languages (Python/C++).
Hands-on experience building data pipelines for large-scale datasets (ETL/ELT, streaming or batch, orchestration).
Experience with data modeling, schema evolution, and dataset/version management.
Solid understanding of reliability engineering: monitoring, incident response, backfills, and operational rigor.
Ability to work across ambiguous interfaces (data + tooling + model consumers) and drive decisions.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Nice to have:
Experience with autonomy/robotics data: flight logs, self-driving car data, sensor fusion traces, video, geospatial metadata.
Experience with labeling workflows, annotation tooling, and labeling QA at scale.
Familiarity with privacy concepts (PII handling, redaction, access control, audit logs).
Experience with vector/semantic search over media or telemetry.
Experience building hard-mining evaluation loops for ML models.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role
Skydio is seeking an experienced operations leader to join our team as Manager, Solutions Operations. This role owns the technical operations the Solutions Engineering organization runs on: the headquarters demo program and the aircraft, docks, and environment behind it, the capture of flight, imagery, and integration content, and the library that holds all of it. You will lead live demonstrations for VIP customers, partners, and government visitors alongside Skydio leadership on a regular basis, and you will use what you own to bring new Solutions Engineers and Solutions Specialists up to speed and keep the field current on new capability.
This role is cross vertical. It touches every part of Solutions Engineering across National Security, SLED, Commercial, and the Launch Team, and it works with the account teams, Engineering, Product, Customer Success, Training, and Sales Enablement those teams depend on. The hard part is pace and breadth. Product ships faster than any one SE can track, the organization is hiring across the globe, and each vertical has its own customers and workflows. This seat is how the demo standard, the content, and the ramp stay consistent without four directors rebuilding the same thing.
This role is based at Skydio headquarters in San Mateo, California. Travel of approximately 15% is required to capture content in the field, support field teams, and support company events. If you have most of what is listed below and are confident you can learn the rest, we want to hear from you.
This role reports to the VP, Solutions Engineering.
About the Team
Solutions Engineering is the technical arm of Skydio's go-to-market motion. We sit between the customer and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
This seat is measured on the readiness and quality of the demonstrations that run out of headquarters, on how current and used the content library is, and on time to productivity for new Solutions Engineers and Specialists.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You'll Make an Impact
Run the HQ demo program
Lead live demonstrations at headquarters for VIP customers, customer summits, partners, press, and government visitors, presenting with Skydio executives, from a short flight to a full dock and command software walkthroughs.
Own the demo environment: aircraft, docks, network, controllers, and props, plus the pre-flight discipline that keeps a demonstration from failing in front of a chief.
Maintain airworthiness, batteries, firmware, and spares so the fleet is ready to fly on short notice, and coordinate demo scheduling and dock availability with the teams that share the site.
Set the demo standard the rest of the organization runs against.
Own the content and the library
Plan and run capture missions, including flights, imagery, scans, and dock deployments, that produce the footage, data, and screenshots the whole organization uses.
Build demo scripts, reference architectures, and trial plan templates out of what the strongest Solutions Engineers already do, rather than inventing a parallel standard.
Own the library. One place, one version, findable in under a minute. Run a review cadence against the release calendar, retire what is stale, and track what actually gets used.
Capture integration and competitive material: what the platforms our customers already run actually do, where Skydio wins, and what an honest answer sounds like where it does not.
Enable the team
Own onboarding for new Solutions Engineers and Solutions Specialists: the curriculum, hands-on flight and dock time, the shadowing plan, and the checkpoints that tell a manager a new hire is ready to run a customer engagement alone.
Ingest new product and technical developments as they land, get hands on with pre-release capability, and translate each release into what the field needs to know, say, and show.
Work across every vertical and function. Build enablement once, in a form each team can adapt, and partner with Sales Enablement and Training so the field gets one coordinated program.
Represent the customer inside Skydio
Be a source of ground truth on how the product actually demonstrates and how quickly people can learn it. You will see every rough edge repeatedly, and earlier than almost anyone.
Turn what you see into prioritized, defensible feedback to Product and Engineering rather than a list of one-off asks.
What Makes You a Good Fit
5+ years in a technical operations, field operations, customer-facing technical, or enablement role.
Hands-on sUAS operating experience and the judgment to fly safely and legally in front of an audience.
Comfortable presenting live to senior executives and customers, and steady when something does not go to plan.
A track record of building technical content or programs that other people actually used.
Fast at learning new technology and clear at explaining it, and comfortable working across many teams with different customers, priorities, and vocabulary.
Familiarity with DFR concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Organized and consistent. A demo fleet, a library, and a ramp program only work when someone maintains them.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Experience running a demo center, lab, or fleet operation.
Prior public safety service or agency UAS program experience.
Experience with dock-based, remote, or BVLOS operations at scale.
Video and photo production skills for demo and enablement content.
Working knowledge of public safety technologies such as CAD and VMS, or of Salesforce and learning platforms such as Uplimit.
What Is Required
FAA Part 107 Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 60 days of hire.
Ability to work on site at Skydio headquarters in San Mateo, California.
Ability to travel approximately 15% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. The annual base salary range for this position is $170,000 - $215,000*. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to receive the following benefits: Paid vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay and 401K savings plan. This position and all associated benefits are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as the Company’s policies and eligibility criteria.

About the Role:
Insightfully designed manufacturing processes and fully qualified supplier relationships are critical elements in bringing tightly integrated, sophisticated electromechanical systems to major markets. Skydio's autonomy depends on what our aircraft can see: navigation cameras, payload sensors, and the optics in front of them are among the most tolerance-sensitive, highest-risk components we build.
As the Camera & Optics member of Skydio's Supplier Quality Engineering team, you'll own quality across the camera supply base: lenses, coatings, actuators, image sensors, ME parts and fully assembled modules. You'll work with our Product Design, Image Quality, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Design, Supply Chain, Reliability, and Quality teams and interface with current and potential suppliers to strengthen Skydio's optical supplier base to meet our increasing production volume and quality needs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Conduct supplier assessments and on-site audits to evaluate camera module, lens, and coating suppliers' quality systems, cleanliness and particle controls, process capability, metrology capability, and overall production readiness.
Partner with Optical, Electrical, Mechanical, Image Quality, and Manufacturing Engineers throughout the Hardware Product Development Process to ensure robust quality planning, manufacturability, testability, and supplier readiness for new product introductions and volume production.
Influence camera and lens designs early through DFM/DFA reviews, opto-mechanical and statistical tolerance analysis, and design risk assessment — trading off image performance, yield, scalability, and cost before tooling is committed.
Drive supplier qualification activities including process audits, First Article Inspections (FAI), Production Validation Builds (PVT), and manufacturing readiness reviews to ensure compliance with Skydio's optical, mechanical, reliability, and quality requirements.
Lead supplier quality planning through prototype, pre-production, and mass production, including control plans, PFMEAs, process validations, calibration strategy, and outgoing quality strategies that minimize incoming inspection and maximize field reliability.

About the Role:
We deliver life-saving information as fast as possible to our customers. They need to securely engage with our cloud every minute of every day, and our North Star is that stronger security, broader compliance, and more flexible deployment models must never slow or fracture that experience. Our vision is to give customers the flexibility and security they require — multi-cloud, multi-region, and government-grade compliance — without any tradeoffs in speed, reliability, or ease of use.
We are hiring a Staff Product Manager to own and execute the Cloud Platform & Infrastructure roadmap, delivering the multi-cloud, multi-region and government-compliant platform capabilities Skydio needs to scale globally for federal, state & local, and commercial customers. You will also own Skydio’s on-prem product line—productizing air-gapped and self-hosted deployments into a scalable, secure, and high-impact solution.
This senior individual-contributor role is about turning field and sales pain into a tightly scoped, customer-centric roadmap and driving the cross-functional programs that bring it to market. You’ll work closely with SRE, cloud engineering, security & compliance, legal, GTM, and executive leadership to build the platform foundations that unlock growth — all while protecting the fast, simple, frictionless experience our customers depend on.
Location
This position is based onsite 5 days/week at our HQ in San Mateo, CA with 25-30% travel to customers, as needed. We offer generous relocation assistance.
How you'll make an impact:
Customer & sales engagement: Run discovery with government and commercial customers: Surface the “why”, build business case for investment, validate proposed solutions in the field, and help grow the business by providing platform capabilities with clearly communicated delivery expectations.
Own the platform roadmap for Cloud Platform & Infrastructure: work with sales, customer success, deployment engineers, and customers to convert recurring pain and opportunities into a prioritized, outcome-focused platform roadmap with clear user stories and success criteria.
Productize and deliver Skydio On-Prem: Define the roadmap for air-gapped and self-hosted offerings; lead cross-functional delivery (engineering, SRE, security, legal, GTM); own releases, onboarding/runbooks and launch artifacts; run pilots/rollouts to cut time-to-deploy and manual effort while preserving a secure, frictionless experience; and support exponential growth in the national security business.
Release & expectation management: Coordinate release planning, cut-downs and “what’s in/what’s out” decisions, and communicate release tradeoffs to internal teams and customers. Ensure customer feedback and bug reports are tracked and routed into the right engineering backlog.
Compliance enablement: Translate FedRAMP/CJIS/other regulatory requirements into product and operational requirements; run cross-functional compliance programs and vendor/auditor interactions to achieve certification readiness. You will coordinate auditors, security, legal and engineering - not act as the security architect.
Evangelize & enable: Explain platform capabilities across the org, create internal playbooks/artifacts, and help GTM teams present platform value to customers.
What would make you a strong fit:
Exceptional product judgment. You can hear five different customer complaints and recognize the one platform capability that resolves all of them. You've turned messy field pain into a prioritized roadmap and driven it to completion across teams you don't manage. You're equally credible setting strategy with executives and cutting scope with an engineer.
8+ years product experience shipping cloud platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products - or adjacent technical products, with the ability to get to working knowledge of unfamiliar infrastructure quickly. You don't need to be an infrastructure expert; you need engineers to respect you in a design review.
Demonstrated track record of turning customer pain into a prioritized roadmap and driving cross-functional programs to completion.
Experience shipping products under regulatory constraint. FedRAMP, CJIS, or DoD RMF is ideal, but SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or financial regulatory work counts. What matters is that audit and certification requirements have shaped what you could build, and you've run the organizational work to meet them — not that you've done it in a federal context. You can translate regulatory controls into product requirements and run the organizational workstreams to meet them.
Track record of shipping platform features that materially improved reliability, scalability, security, and/or cost. Comfortable making tradeoffs and driving decisions with incomplete data.
Strong program management and stakeholder influence skills — you can align engineering, security, legal, sales, and customers toward common goals without formal authority.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience briefing executives and external auditors.
This role will be driving the development of products for our military customers, and is subject to U.S. export control laws and government contract requirements. As a result, this position is open only to U.S. citizens or Green Card holders. Skydio does not offer employment-based visa or permanent residency sponsorship for this role.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $230,000 - $280,000*. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans.

Experience building secure, scalable, enterprise-grade cloud applications and APIs.
Familiarity with modern infrastructure and tooling such as PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Temporal, or similar technologies.
Strong product instincts and the ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into reliable, customer-facing solutions.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Bonus points for:
Experience with geospatial data, mapping, or visualization tools such as Mapbox, Cesium, PostGIS, ArcGIS, or QGIS.
Experience with photogrammetry, scanning, mapping, or 3D reconstruction pipelines.
Experience integrating frontend applications with cloud-based services and real-time data systems.

The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across the Top 1200 nationally, pairing one Solutions Engineer to each Key Account Leader.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Turn what works in Majors into something repeatable at volume. Demo standards, site assessment quality, and trial design are yours to systematize, and to structure so the segment can split regionally without relearning the motion.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
What Is Required
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.

This is a role for someone that enjoys having the freedom to operate across the whole stack, and the ability to affect the architecture, security, and functionality of the product.
How you'll make an impact:
Re-architect and maintain the ever growing needs on our Kubernetes fleet and its supporting infrastructure.
Continually improve and expand the continuous delivery of the product.
Work in cross-functional teams (from hardware to cloud) to build new capabilities for the platform.
Work directly with security to continually improve the practices and controls that will keep our customer’s data and drones safe.
Drive cost saving initiatives early into Skydio’s product, so that it scales over time.
What makes you a good fit:
5+ years of experience as a SRE, DevOps or equivalent infrastructure role.
Can comfortably debug and automate Kubernetes clusters.
Not hesitant to jump into the code to fix the underlying issue (Python or Go preferred).
Prior experience implementing continuous deployment systems.
Understand cloud platforms architecture, especially networking, security, storage, and resilient application topologies.
Ability and interest in being delegated business objectives and seeking out the solutions.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
This position requires access to export-controlled technical data, restricted government information, and/or information systems subject to U.S. government security and access-control requirements. Employment in this role is contingent upon verification of U.S. person status and the ability to access controlled or restricted information as required for the position.
Bonus points:
Familiarity with supporting both SaaS and self-hosted applications.
Experience with supporting drones or highly automated physical hardware.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $190,000 - $250,000*.

About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer who thinks like a product engineer — someone who doesn't just write code, but understands why it matters to the operator holding the controller. You'll work at the intersection of Skydio's autonomous flight engine, connected cloud services, and physical controller hardware to build products that give drone operators superpowers. From dispatch-to-flight workflows to real-time situational awareness to mission planning, you'll shape how people interact with the most advanced autonomous drones in the world. This isn't just mobile development — it's building the command interface for a new category of intelligent machine.
About the Team:
The Edge Experience team owns the full pilot experience on Skydio's controllers — from the radio link and video streaming pipeline all the way up to the product interfaces that operators rely on in the field. We believe in shipping incrementally, automating the critical path, and measuring what matters. Every feature we build touches real hardware, real airspace, and real missions — and we hold ourselves to the standard that our software must be reliable, performant, and intuitive enough for high-stress, high-stakes operation.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Design intuitive, high-performance operator interfaces for real-time drone control, video streaming, and mission management
Work cross-functionally with autonomy, firmware, cloud, and product teams to translate complex system capabilities into simple, reliable user experiences
Architect and build product features that bridge our C++ autonomy engine, Android application layer, and cloud services — owning the full vertical from native libraries through JNI/NDK to the Kotlin UI
Build and leverage AI-powered agentic workflows to accelerate engineering velocity — from automated testing and code generation to intelligent developer tooling
Champion the product engineer mindset: deeply understand operator needs, think end-to-end from hardware to cloud, and own outcomes — not just outputs
Mentor engineers and raise the bar on software quality, system design, and user-centric thinking
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years professional software engineering experience with Android AOSP with substantial work Android (Kotlin/Java) and some work in C++ is preferred.
Deep experience with the Android NDK and JNI — you've built and debugged native libraries that ship in production Android apps
Proficiency in Kotlin and the modern Android ecosystem (Coroutines, Jetpack/Architecture Components, Gradle)
Previous experience with one or more graphics APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL ES, or Metal
Strong debugging and profiling skills across the native/managed boundary (ASan, Perfetto, Android Studio profilers)
Experience with low-latency network communication (UDP, WebRTC, or custom protocols)
Proficiency in Linux development environments
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Nice To Haves:
Have shipped mobile apps that integrate with IoT devices or robots
Experience with Bazel build system would be great
AOSP or Android platform/framework-level experience
Familiarity with video codecs (H.264/H.265), camera pipelines, or real-time media processing

About the Role
As a Commercial Solutions Engineer at Skydio you will play a critical role at the intersection of technology, customer success, and revenue growth. Our customers span a wide range of industries, from utilities and critical infrastructure to emergency response, physical security, and beyond, and every day brings new challenges where autonomous drones can unlock meaningful insights and transform operations. You will be a key technical partner throughout the sales process, working alongside Account Executives to design solutions to complex customer problems, and your impact continues well after the deal closes: Solutions Engineers guide customers through onboarding, implementation, expansion, and long-term program success.
This is a remote role. Travel of 50 to 75% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
About the Team
Commercial Solutions Engineering is the technical arm of Skydio's commercial go-to-market motion. We sit between the customer and the product: translating industrial and security problems into deployable programs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are integrated and flown at scale across sites that were never designed with drones in mind.
Coverage is tiered by customer size rather than by territory, so the team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion inside existing accounts, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Account Executives, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of commercial sUAS programs. Internally you are, in every sense, the voice of the customer.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Partner with Account Executives through the full sales cycle: technical discovery, solution design, demonstrations, and the technical narrative that differentiates Skydio.
Translate complex use cases into operational workflows and scalable deployment practices, rather than one-off answers that do not survive the second site.
Run proofs of concept to a standard: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — REST APIs and customer data environments, physical security and video platforms, networking, BVLOS approvals, waivers, and docked operations.
Guide customers through onboarding, implementation, and expansion, and build the reusable technical assets that let the team scale without rebuilding the same answer.
Provide direct field feedback to Product and Engineering as prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
What Makes You a Good Fit
Experience in unmanned aircraft operation, design, development, or regulatory environments.
Experience in one or more of our core commercial segments: utilities, AEC, security, or oil and gas.
Technical competence and a background in a related field such as aviation, engineering, computer science, software development, or hardware design.
Familiarity with integrations, REST-based APIs, or similar technologies.
The ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to audiences ranging from drone pilots to senior executives.
A solutions-focused mindset and a strong motivation to support the sales process and contribute to revenue goals.
Nice to Have
Networking experience or certifications such as CCNA.
Experience with GIS, photogrammetry, or survey and mapping workflows.
Experience with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
What Is Required
Active FAA Part 107 Certificate.
Ability to travel 50 to 75% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role
Skydio is seeking a Readiness Specialist to get our dock customers from signed opportunity to a running program. You will own a book of accounts within a region, from large cities to small towns, and project manage each customer through everything that has to be true before a dock flies: the site, the network, the policy and approvals behind the program, the flight operation that will run it, and a clean handoff to Customer Success. Most of that work is done by other people, inside the customer and inside Skydio, and none of them report to you. The job is building the relationships that get it done, and holding the date.
This is a remote role. Travel of 50 to 60% is required to support site surveys, customer engagements, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
About the Team
The Launch Team is the operational arm of Skydio's dock business. We sit between the opportunity and the running program, and readiness means everything a customer needs to launch. We do not perform every piece of that work, but we project manage the customer to all of it and are accountable for the date.
Readiness starts before the contract is signed. Much of it runs on calendar time Skydio does not control, such as an engineering study, a purchase order, or an MOU in legal review, so the earlier it starts, the sooner the dock is in the ground. The team is measured on time-to-launch, readiness gate adherence, deployment schedule performance, and the condition of the program at handoff.
Readiness Specialists are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Deployment Engineering, Integrations, and Customer Success to support successful deployments, customer confidence, and the long-term success of dock programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Own a book of dock accounts within your region and run the weekly customer cadence, readiness record, and risk tracking on every one, from opportunity through clean handoff to Customer Success.
Build the working relationships that move a launch: the customer's program manager, facilities and IT staff, procurement, and legal on the outside, and Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Deployment, and Customer Success on the inside.
Lead site surveys and make-ready planning, including rooftop and site assessments, power and mounting, and RF, LTE, and network readiness with the customer's IT and network administrators.
Drive the non-technical path to launch: waivers and BVLOS approvals, policy and data retention, council or board authorization, and pilot staffing and training. Name that work for the customer early so it does not surprise them later.
Hold the line on readiness gates. Deployment prerequisites are verified before a dock ships, and when an account goes dark or a blocker exceeds your authority, escalate early through the AE, SE, or leader who can clear it.
Cover for other specialists in your region during absence or surge, and turn what you see across launches into playbook improvements and prioritized, defensible feedback for Product and Engineering.
What Makes You a Good Fit
3+ years in a customer-facing project management, implementation, deployment, or operations role.
Experience managing a portfolio of concurrent projects with timelines, dependencies, and outside stakeholders you do not control.
Familiarity with Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations. Professional experience is strongly preferred.
Comfort working with public sector and enterprise customers, including their IT, facilities, procurement, and legal teams.
Highly organized with strong attention to detail, and disciplined about keeping the system of record current.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a chief or a city council without changing the facts.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service, or experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program on the agency side.
Experience supporting an agency through a public approval process, such as council or board authorization, public comment, or privacy and data retention policy.
Familiarity with site survey, RF and LTE assessment, and network readiness for fixed installations.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
What Is Required
FAA Part 107 Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 60 days of hire.
Ability to travel 50 to 60% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Comfortable working outdoors, at height, and performing physical tasks including climbing ladders.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

The team is measured on time-to-launch, readiness gate adherence, deployment schedule performance, and the condition of the program at handoff.\n\nReadiness Specialists are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Deployment Engineering, Integrations, and Customer Success to support successful deployments, customer confidence, and the long-term success of dock programs.\n\nHow You’ll Make an Impact\n\n - Own a book of dock accounts within your region and run the weekly customer cadence, readiness record, and risk tracking on every one, from opportunity through clean handoff to Customer Success.\n\n - Build the working relationships that move a launch: the customer's program manager, facilities and IT staff, procurement, and legal on the outside, and Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Deployment, and Customer Success on the inside.\n\n - Lead site surveys and make-ready planning, including rooftop and site assessments, power and mounting, and RF, LTE, and network readiness with the customer's IT and network administrators.\n\n - Drive the non-technical path to launch: waivers and BVLOS approvals, policy and data retention, council or board authorization, and pilot staffing and training. Name that work for the customer early so it does not surprise them later.\n\n - Hold the line on readiness gates. Deployment prerequisites are verified before a dock ships, and when an account goes dark or a blocker exceeds your authority, escalate early through the AE, SE, or leader who can clear it.\n\n - Cover for other specialists in your region during absence or surge, and turn what you see across launches into playbook improvements and prioritized, defensible feedback for Product and Engineering.\n\nWhat Makes You a Good Fit\n\n - 3+ years in a customer-facing project management, implementation, deployment, or operations role.\n\n - Experience managing a portfolio of concurrent projects with timelines, dependencies, and outside stakeholders you do not control.\n\n - Familiarity with Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations. Professional experience is strongly preferred.\n\n - Comfort working with public sector and enterprise customers, including their IT, facilities, procurement, and legal teams.\n\n - Highly organized with strong attention to detail, and disciplined about keeping the system of record current.\n\n - Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a chief or a city council without changing the facts.\n\nNice to Have\n\n - Prior public safety service, or experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program on the agency side.\n\n - Experience supporting an agency through a public approval process, such as council or board authorization, public comment, or privacy and data retention policy.\n\n - Familiarity with site survey, RF and LTE assessment, and network readiness for fixed installations.\n\n - Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.\n\n - Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.\n\nWhat Is Required\n\n - FAA Part 107 Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 60 days of hire.\n\n - Ability to travel 50 to 60% of the time.\n\n - Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.\n\n - Comfortable working outdoors, at height, and performing physical tasks including climbing ladders.\n\nCompensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

Resolve complex organizational challenges that impact program execution.
Influence executive stakeholders through data-driven recommendations and business case development.
Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of program managers and operational subject matter experts.
Establish delivery standards, documentation practices, and operational governance.
Foster a culture focused on execution, continuous improvement, and measurable business impact.
8+ years of experience leading enterprise operational programs, technology operations, business transformation, or security operations.
Experience within a large enterprise or technology company evaluating emerging technologies for operational adoption.
Demonstrated success transitioning new technologies from evaluation and pilot phases into enterprise-scale operational deployment.
Experience developing business cases, ROI analyses, and operational success metrics that influence executive decision making.
Strong understanding of enterprise operational processes, change management, and technology implementation.
Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives involving Product, Engineering, Operations, and executive stakeholders.
Excellent executive communication and stakeholder management skills.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Experience supporting commercial site security, physical security operations, or enterprise security technology.
Experience evaluating AI, automation, robotics, computer vision, autonomous systems, or other emerging technologies.

About the team:
Skydio’s Cloud infrastructure team is here to ensure that the Skydio Cloud platform is always available to our customers when they need it: whether that’s performing a routine bridge inspection or it’s aiding in rescue operations during a natural disaster. With thousands of drones operating all over the world, we are constantly improving the continuous delivery and deployment of our infrastructure.
About the role:
As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer on our team, you’ll not just be responsible for supporting our Kubernetes fleet, but also making software changes to the core product in order to support the use cases that we need. This is a hybrid software and infrastructure role, meaning that sometimes the best solution is to fix the product, not automate around the deficiencies. This is a role for someone that enjoys having the freedom to operate across the whole stack, and the ability to affect the architecture, security, and functionality of the product. Our technology helps save lives. You’ll play a critical role in keeping the infrastructure behind it reliable, scalable, and available when it matters most.
How you'll make an impact:
Re-architect and maintain the ever growing needs on our Kubernetes fleet and its supporting infrastructure.
Continually improve and expand the continuous delivery of the product.
Work in cross-functional teams (from hardware to cloud) to build new capabilities for the platform.
Work directly with security to continually improve the practices and controls that will keep our customer’s data and drones safe.
Drive cost saving initiatives early into Skydio’s product, so that it scales over time.
What makes you a good fit:
8+ years of experience as a Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps or equivalent infrastructure role.
Can comfortably debug and automate Kubernetes clusters.
Not hesitant to jump into the code to fix the underlying issue (Python or Go preferred).
Prior experience implementing continuous deployment systems.
Understand cloud platforms architecture, especially networking, security, storage, and resilient application topologies.
Ability and interest in being delegated business objectives and seeking out the solutions.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
This position requires access to export-controlled technical data, restricted government information, and/or information systems subject to U.S. government security and access-control requirements. Employment in this role is contingent upon verification of U.S. person status and the ability to access controlled or restricted information as required for the position.
Bonus points:
Familiarity with supporting both SaaS and self-hosted applications.
Experience with supporting drones or highly automated physical hardware.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role:
At Skydio, the combination of our platform, technology foundation, and team enables our engineers and researchers to develop, deploy, iterate, and improve upon the state of the art in robot autonomy better and faster than anywhere else in the world.
The middleware team sits in between the hardware platform and the autonomy stack and develops abstractions that are used by many of the layers that are higher up in the stack, including customer facing features. The team is small but with a broad impact: we design on-device services for all our drone platforms (X10, R10, F10) and their hardware configurations (Dock, External Radio and Controllers).
Some of the features that we work on are:
Over The Air Updates
Inter Process Communication
Media and Log Management
Performance of code and systems on the aircraft
Time Synchronization
Aircraft Attachments
Navigation Cameras Streaming Pipeline
Automated Test Infrastructure
This is a highly impactful team where ownership matters. We work closely with other engineers across the company including Computer Vision, State Estimation, Fleet Management, and Embedded.
We're looking for a hands-on manager — someone who leads a small team, stays close to the code, and is as comfortable in a design review as in a career conversation.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Lead, grow, and retain a team of software engineers — running 1:1s, setting expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing engineers at every level.
Own the team's roadmap and delivery: set technical direction, break down ambiguous problems, and make the tradeoffs that keep the team shipping reliably.
Stay hands-on. Design and implement high-quality software systems that run on our hardware products and developer workstations, and remain a credible technical voice in reviews and architecture decisions.
Build analytics tools that help us monitor services and identify, architect, and implement projects that ensure smooth customer experiences, operating at a high state of reliability.
Identify and lead internal cross-team software projects that substantially improve the customer (internal and external) experience.
Take ownership of internal services from concept through deployment and monitoring.
Partner with Computer Vision, State Estimation, Fleet Management, Embedded and Product teams to align priorities and unblock work across organizational boundaries.
Recruit and hire — build the interview loop, sell candidates on the mission, and raise the bar with every addition to the team.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
3+ years of direct people management experience — you've owned headcount, performance, and career growth for a team of engineers.
You're a hands-on manager. You still read and write code, and you'd be uncomfortable leading a team whose work you couldn't do yourself.
You are comfortable navigating and delivering within a complex codebase.
You are highly proficient in Python and/or C++, implementing features in a Linux environment.
You enjoy designing and making powerful tools that are used by other engineers.
You are excited to work on and with modern cutting-edge robotic systems.
You are experienced in designing features for operating systems that run in resource constrained environments (compute and memory).
You have experience coordinating and leading improvements to systems with significant organizational usage and impact.
You've built software for systems with complex hardware in the loop — humanoid robots, unmanned vehicles, manufacturing / warehouse robots, drones, medical devices, IoT devices or similar — and you understand what changes when the bits have to move something physical.
You thrive in a fast-moving, process-light environment. You bring your own structure where it's needed, tolerate ambiguity, and optimize for impact over ceremony.
You're strong at stakeholder management. You keep partner teams and leadership informed, negotiate priorities and tradeoffs across organizational boundaries, and build the trust that gets your team unblocked.

","descriptionPlain":"Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors https://www.skydio.com/solutions/energy-and-utilities to first responders https://www.skydio.com/solutions/public-safety, soldiers in battlefield scenarios https://www.skydio.com/solutions/national-security/tactical-isr, and beyond https://www.skydio.com/solutions.\n\nAbout the Role:\n\nAt Skydio, the combination of our platform, technology foundation, and team enables our engineers and researchers to develop, deploy, iterate, and improve upon the state of the art in robot autonomy better and faster than anywhere else in the world.\n\nThe middleware team sits in between the hardware platform and the autonomy stack and develops abstractions that are used by many of the layers that are higher up in the stack, including customer facing features. The team is small but with a broad impact: we design on-device services for all our drone platforms (X10, R10, F10) and their hardware configurations (Dock, External Radio and Controllers).\n\nSome of the features that we work on are:\n\n - Over The Air Updates\n\n - Inter Process Communication\n\n - Media and Log Management\n\n - Performance of code and systems on the aircraft\n\n - Time Synchronization\n\n - Aircraft Attachments\n\n - Navigation Cameras Streaming Pipeline\n\n - Automated Test Infrastructure\n\nThis is a highly impactful team where ownership matters. We work closely with other engineers across the company including Computer Vision, State Estimation, Fleet Management, and Embedded.\n\nWe're looking for a hands-on manager — someone who leads a small team, stays close to the code, and is as comfortable in a design review as in a career conversation.\n\nHow You’ll Make an Impact:\n\n - Lead, grow, and retain a team of software engineers — running 1:1s, setting expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing engineers at every level.\n\n - Own the team's roadmap and delivery: set technical direction, break down ambiguous problems, and make the tradeoffs that keep the team shipping reliably.\n\n - Stay hands-on. Design and implement high-quality software systems that run on our hardware products and developer workstations, and remain a credible technical voice in reviews and architecture decisions.\n\n - Build analytics tools that help us monitor services and identify, architect, and implement projects that ensure smooth customer experiences, operating at a high state of reliability.\n\n - Identify and lead internal cross-team software projects that substantially improve the customer (internal and external) experience.\n\n - Take ownership of internal services from concept through deployment and monitoring.\n\n - Partner with Computer Vision, State Estimation, Fleet Management, Embedded and Product teams to align priorities and unblock work across organizational boundaries.\n\n - Recruit and hire — build the interview loop, sell candidates on the mission, and raise the bar with every addition to the team.\n\nWhat Makes You a Good Fit:\n\n - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.\n\n - 3+ years of direct people management experience — you've owned headcount, performance, and career growth for a team of engineers.\n\n - You're a hands-on manager.

You'll work closely with EHS Leadership, Field Operations, Deployment Engineering, R&D, Facilities, Training, and business leaders to identify hazards, implement controls, support regulatory compliance, investigate incidents, deliver training, and establish scalable EHS processes. A major part of this role is building EHS infrastructure for business areas that have not historically had dedicated EHS support.
Location:
This is an office based position at our HQ in San Mateo, CA. Travel is required based on operational need and may include customer deployment locations, public-safety facilities, rooftop installations, remote field locations, other Skydio sites, and incident-investigation, training, and audit locations.
How you'll make an impact:
• Support development and implementation of EHS programs across Headquarters, R&D, Field Operations, and deployment activities.
• Partner with EHS Leadership to build new divisional safety programs, procedures, training, inspection systems, risk assessments, and operational controls.
• Conduct field and site safety assessments for deployments, installations, customer locations, and remote operations.
• Perform Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), pre-task risk assessments, and site-specific risk assessments, and recommend engineering, administrative, PPE, and procedural controls.
• Support safe work practices for rooftop work, work at height, ladder use, electrical activities, batteries, environmental exposure, and public/customer-site operations, including roof access, roof hatches, skylights, roof edges, load limitations, exclusion zones, and competency requirements for elevated work.
• Establish weather-related work restrictions for wind, rain, lightning, ice, extreme heat, and other field conditions.
• Investigate injuries, incidents, near misses, property damage, and significant hazards; identify root causes, establish corrective actions, assign owners, and track actions through closure.
• Develop and deliver EHS training to employees, managers, field teams, engineers, and other affected personnel.
• Support contractor and vendor safety programs, including pre-task risk assessment and contractor qualification.
• Maintain EHS documentation, training records, inspection records, incident records, and corrective-action tracking, and support emergency preparedness and response planning.
• Support EHS audits, inspections, regulatory readiness, PPE management, and continuous-improvement initiatives; collect and analyze EHS performance data to support dashboards, trends, and reporting.
• Maintain a visible, collaborative EHS presence across supported business groups and sites, partnering with leaders and employees to identify unsafe conditions and improve safety culture.
• Participate in new process, equipment, facility, deployment, and change-management reviews, and support EHS Leadership in establishing scalable systems that apply consistently across domestic and, as applicable, international operations.
What makes you a good fit:
• 3+ years of progressive EHS specialist-level experience.

• Comfortable operating in fast-changing environments where programs and processes are still being developed.
• Comfortable working in both traditional office environments and active field environments that may involve weather exposure, ladders, rooftops, powered equipment, batteries, electrical systems, construction-type activities, and interaction with customers or contractors.
• Ability to travel as business needs require, climb ladders and stairs, access rooftops, walk field sites, and respond to EHS incidents and urgent operational needs.
Preferred Qualifications:
• OSHA 30-Hour General Industry or Construction, First Aid/CPR/AED certification or Trainer credentials, and Fall Protection Competent Person training
• Board certification (ASP, CSP, CHST, OHST, or similar)
• Experience with ISO 45001/14001 or other management-system frameworks, VelocityEHS or another EHS management system, and developing safety programs from the ground up
• Experience supporting public-safety, drone/UAS, aviation, construction, deployment, telecommunications, or rooftop work
Compensation:
At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

Ability to travel up to 50% to support customer engagements, team field activities, and company events.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role:
Skydio is looking for a Director of Product Compliance to own product compliance across our entire portfolio. As our product families and the markets we serve keep expanding, we're investing in compliance as a core product capability. You'll build the operating system for it: the policy, the risk framework, the requirements inventory, and the gates that make certification something we design from concept.
You'll lead a team of portfolio compliance engineers, each owning certification for their programs, and you'll work across Hardware Ops, Engineering, Product, Security, Supply Chain, Sales, Government, Aviation Regulatory, and Legal to get decisions made. This is a build role with real decision rights, including launch readiness sign-off.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Own product compliance for the company. Set the policy, arbitrate cross-program tradeoffs, own the launch readiness recommendation and sign-off, and act as the single point of accountability when a requirement is contested or a launch is at risk.
Lead and grow the compliance team. Develop compliance engineers embedded in program teams, balance their capacity against an 18-month roadmap, and make sure each program has a tailored plan rather than a generic checklist.
Chart the path forward in ambiguity. Translate unclear or evolving requirements into a clear compliance strategy, maintaining program momentum and making defensible decisions.
Partner with Product and Engineering on launch timelines that reflect real certification lead times, dependencies, and external constraints, and escalate launch-critical risk early enough to act on it.
Direct our SME bench and external strategy. Get the right experts engaged at the right time across cellular, radio, civil aviation, cybersecurity, supply chain, export, and more, while working with cross functional partners to shape policy and regulation rather than only react to it.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
10+ years in product compliance, certification, or regulatory engineering, including experience leading a team
Deep technical grounding across EMC, radio, and product safety, plus enough working knowledge of the adjacent domains — cellular and carrier certification, battery, aviation, cybersecurity, and supply chain and export controls — to know when a requirement applies, which expert to pull in, and whether the answer you're getting holds up
Track record building process and governance where it didn't exist, and getting an organization to adopt it
Comfortable holding decision rights, including telling a program its launch date is at risk
Strong cross-functional operator, effective with engineering, legal, supply chain, and executive stakeholders alike
Willingness to work outside the scope of your role to cover gaps in ownership
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions
Bonus points if you have:
Battery, cellular including PTCRB and MNO, or NRTL compliance experience
Familiarity with UAS regulatory frameworks such as FAA, Remote ID, and EASA
Experience with federal supply chain, export control, or cybersecurity requirements
Regulatory advocacy or standards body engagement experience
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an Advanced / NPI Quality Engineer to own product quality from concept through ramp, on one product, end to end. Most companies split this into an advanced quality role that does design-phase prevention and an NPI role that runs the builds. We combine them, because the person who wrote the DFMEA should be the one on the line when the failure mode shows up. You'll set the targets, facilitate the risk analysis, qualify suppliers and measurement systems, run build quality, and sign off, or hold, the gates.
Concept and planning: set CTQ characteristics and quality targets (yield, DPMO, AFR), write the quality plan, and classify the BOM by risk with PPAP levels assigned per part.
Design / EVT: facilitate the DFMEA to verified closure, contribute to design reviews and DFM, and run EVT build quality including first article inspection and failure analysis.
Process / DVT: build the linked PFMEA and control plan, complete MSA on key gauges, and review supplier PPAP submissions.
Validation / PVT: run capability studies and run-at-rate with production operators, approve the internal PPAP, and stand up SPC with real reaction plans.
Launch: design the safe-launch plan with exit criteria, run daily quality reviews, drive 8D on escapes, and monitor field AFR.
Handoff: transfer a complete record set to sustaining quality and feed learnings back into the FMEA libraries and supplier requirements.
Required
Bachelor's in an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience.
[5+] years in quality engineering on physical products, including one product carried personally from design through mass production.
Hands-on DFMEA/PFMEA facilitation, control plans actually used on a line, and MSA/gauge R&R/capability studies you can run yourself.
Working knowledge of PPAP and root cause methods (8D, 5-why, fault tree) with verified closure.
Equally comfortable on the factory floor and in a design review.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Preferred
Consumer electronics manufacturing (SMT, final assembly, RF test, cosmetic standards) and experience working through a CM/ODM.
Supplier quality (audits, sub-tier risk, PCN), IPC-A-610/J-STD-001/ESD S20.20, and reliability testing (HALT, AFR modeling).
Data fluency in SPC/yield analysis ([JMP / Minitab / Python / SQL]) and pulling your own data from the MES.
Nice to Have
CQE or Six Sigma Black Belt; APQP under IATF 16949 or ISO 13485.
FCC/CE, UN 38.3, or IP ingress compliance exposure.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
Our customers depend on our drones to protect lives and serve their communities. Every minute of every day, our drones are dispatched to deliver urgently needed data. Getting that data from the scene to our users depends on having “always on” connectivity. We're seeking a technical partnership manager to spearhead collaborations with leading telecom providers, ensuring that our drones can operate wherever our customers need them to.
Location: This is an office-based position that requires 5 days/week onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.
How you'll make an impact:
Develop and implement our strategy for engaging with telecom carriers that both deepens our existing relationships and expands our ecosystem to new partners within the US, North America, and internationally over time.
Understand our customers’ needs and negotiate agreements with telecom carriers that serve those needs by enabling network access, providing sufficient data connectivity, and building sustainable business partnerships.
Understanding and advocating for our customers in-flight data connectivity by providing simple and easy-to-use connectivity options from the first boot of a drone after it is taken out of the box.
Build the business models that support in-flight data access, and monitor usage and costs to validate those models in practice.
Set regulatory and telecom carrier certification priorities to ensure that our drones meet certification standards for both regulators and telecom operators.
Build field relationships between telecom partners and Skydio’s field team to support major events such as sports games, parades, and other major public gatherings.
Assist Skydio mission success in supporting customers and major incidents.
What makes you a good fit:
You have a demonstrated track record of translating customer needs into priorities and driving implementation. This can take many forms, including working with complex implementation projects directly with customers, building products from scratch, or building complex business relationships.
You face complexity without fear. When given a goal and a complex process with lots of moving parts, you can break down the challenge into meaningful steps, and clearly communicate how each of them moves the ball forward – whether the process is a technical program like device certification, or a business process like negotiating a telecom contract.
You bring strong analytical skills to problems, and once you develop a plan, you can communicate it throughout both Skydio and our partner organizations. Working with multiple complex projects and overlapping deadlines does not scare you.
You have a technical background, demonstrated by either an engineering or technical degree (such as computer science, telecommunications, or a scientific field), and/or work experience managing complex technical requirements.
Nice-to-haves:
Prior work at a growth-stage start-up. Skydio is growing fast enough that you’ll need to know when to use an existing rule book, as well as when you should burn the existing rule book and write a new one.
Interest or experience in wireless communication. You don’t need to be an expert with a patent portfolio, but you will need to be familiar with bit rates, quality of service, and large-scale network operations. If you don’t come in with this knowledge, you just need to demonstrate that you can learn it quickly.
Experience with telecommunications. We are flexible about what this means. You might have worked directly at a telecom company (AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile), or at one of its major suppliers (like Cisco, Nokia, or Ericsson). What’s important is that you’re interested in carrier network infrastructure and protocols, and how to apply them to new solutions.
Familiarity or interest in how to apply new 5G features, such as dynamic slicing, high-reliability and low-latency communications, and radio resource management, for airborne devices.
Compensation: The annual base salary range for this position is $230,000 - $285,000*. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. In addition to base salary, Skydio full-time employees are eligible to enroll in our benefit plans and take advantage of a variety of incentives and stipends.

Familiarity with Skydio platforms or other advanced autonomous aircraft.
Comfort troubleshooting hardware and software issues independently in the field, without on-site engineering support.
GIS or 3D photogrammetry experience.
Conditions of Employment/Physical Requirements:
Travel approximately up to 90% of the time to test sites, ranges, and field environments across the U.S.
Frequent early mornings, extended field days, and occasional weekend work driven by weather windows and site availability.
Successful completion of a background check.
Ability to lift and carry equipment cases weighing up to 50 lbs.
Ability to work outdoors for extended periods in varied weather, including heat, cold, wind, and precipitation.
Ability to stand, walk, and traverse uneven terrain at field sites for extended periods.
Compensation: This is a fixed term, full-time position with a limited duration as outlined in the job description. The hourly wage range for this position is $50 - $60 per hour*.

About the Role:
Our customers depend on our drones to protect lives and serve their communities. Every minute of every day, our drones are dispatched to deliver urgently needed data. Getting that data from the scene to our users depends on having “always on” connectivity. We're seeking a technical partnership manager to spearhead collaborations with leading telecom providers, ensuring that our drones can operate wherever our customers need them to.
Location: This is an office-based position that requires 5 days/week onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA.
How you'll make an impact:
Develop and implement our strategy for engaging with telecom carriers that both deepens our existing relationships and expands our ecosystem to new partners within the US, North America, and internationally over time.
Understand our customers’ needs and negotiate agreements with telecom carriers that serve those needs by enabling network access, providing sufficient data connectivity, and building sustainable business partnerships.
Understanding and advocating for our customers in-flight data connectivity by providing simple and easy-to-use connectivity options from the first boot of a drone after it is taken out of the box.
Build the business models that support in-flight data access, and monitor usage and costs to validate those models in practice.
Set regulatory and telecom carrier certification priorities to ensure that our drones meet certification standards for both regulators and telecom operators.
Build field relationships between telecom partners and Skydio’s field team to support major events such as sports games, parades, and other major public gatherings.
Assist Skydio mission success in supporting customers and major incidents.
What makes you a good fit:
You have a demonstrated track record of translating customer needs into priorities and driving implementation. This can take many forms, including working with complex implementation projects directly with customers, building products from scratch, or building complex business relationships.
You face complexity without fear. When given a goal and a complex process with lots of moving parts, you can break down the challenge into meaningful steps, and clearly communicate how each of them moves the ball forward – whether the process is a technical program like device certification, or a business process like negotiating a telecom contract
You bring strong analytical skills to problems, and once you develop a plan, you can communicate it throughout both Skydio and our partner organizations. Working with multiple complex projects and overlapping deadlines does not scare you.
You have a technical background, demonstrated by either an engineering or technical degree (such as computer science, telecommunications, or a scientific field), and/or work experience managing complex technical requirements.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Nice-to-haves:
Prior work at a growth-stage start-up. Skydio is growing fast enough that you’ll need to know when to use an existing rule book, as well as when you should burn the existing rule book and write a new one.
Interest or experience in wireless communication. You don’t need to be an expert with a patent portfolio, but you will need to be familiar with bit rates, quality of service, and large-scale network operations. If you don’t come in with this knowledge, you just need to demonstrate that you can learn it quickly.
Experience with telecommunications. We are flexible about what this means. You might have worked directly at a telecom company (AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile), or at one of its major suppliers (like Cisco, Nokia, or Ericsson). What’s important is that you’re interested in carrier network infrastructure and protocols, and how to apply them to new solutions.
Familiarity or interest in how to apply new 5G features, such as dynamic slicing, high-reliability and low-latency communications, and radio resource management, for airborne devices.
Compensation: The annual base salary range for this position is $230,000 - $285,000*. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. In addition to base salary, Skydio full-time employees are eligible to enroll in our benefit plans and take advantage of a variety of incentives and stipends. *Compensation for certain positions may vary based on the position's location.

About the role
Skydio builds autonomous drones. Our largest commercial customers run global logistics and site security operations, and they're moving from one-off drone flights to standing programs that run every day across dozens of sites. Getting there takes more than shipping hardware.
That's this role. You'll own commercial deployments end to end: planning, rollout, operational handoff, and the stabilization period after go-live. You'll work directly with the customer's operators and safety leads to build the procedures, training, and maintenance practices a program needs to run without you. And you'll bring what you learn in the field back to Product and Engineering.
The work spans piloted operations and dock-based remote operations. It sits at the intersection of hardware, software, operations, and aviation compliance, and there is no playbook yet for much of it. You should be comfortable writing one.
Own planning and execution for commercial deployments, from pilot through scaled rollout, including dock-based remote operations programs
Manage scope, schedule, dependencies, and risk across hardware, software, and operational workstreams - and flag the technical, regulatory, and logistical problems early, with a plan attached
Partner with customers to build the operational foundation: Standard Operating Procedures, Safety Management System inputs and operational controls, and maintenance and support plans matched to Skydio platforms
Run the handoff to steady-state operations, and confirm the customer's team is genuinely ready before you step back
Translate customer operational requirements into execution plans and clear internal deliverables
Coordinate across Mission Success, Support, Product, Engineering, and Operations
Keep customer expectations and Skydio's actual capabilities in the same place, including saying no when that's the honest answer
Support commercial expansion - early deployments, new use cases, and the groundwork for scaling them
5+ years in a customer-facing program or professional services role delivering complex technical programs
Track record running multi-phase implementations that combine hardware, software, and operational process change
Strong project management fundamentals: planning, dependency tracking, risk management, execution tracking
Experience standing up new technology at customer sites, including the workflow design, documentation, and training that makes it stick
Clear writing and speaking, with equal comfort in a customer's operations meeting and an internal engineering review
Ability to diagnose and resolve execution problems independently
Hands-on experience with sUAS, robotics, or aviation-adjacent platforms
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate - helpful on day one, but you'll have time and support to earn it after you join
Familiarity with dock-based or remote/BVLOS operations
Experience in global logistics or site security environments
Experience working alongside agile product and engineering teams on customer-driven roadmaps
What Makes You a Good Fit:
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for the SLED Top 1200. The Top 1200 is the band of agencies immediately below Majors, and it is where the Drone as First Responder motion moves from bespoke to repeatable, so the work rewards a leader who can build patterns and hold a team to them. The segment runs as one national team today, and depending on growth it may later split into East and West regions; building the team so that split is clean when it comes is part of the job.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – SLED.
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across the Top 1200 nationally, pairing one Solutions Engineer to each Key Account Leader.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Turn what works in Majors into something repeatable at volume. Demo standards, site assessment quality, and trial design are yours to systematize, and to structure so the segment can split regionally without relearning the motion.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
FAA Part 107 Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 60 days of hire.
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $172,000 - $215,000* + commission. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success.

About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior React Native Engineer to lead development of real-time, high-impact mobile applications used by first responders, drone pilots, mission commanders, and members of the public requesting a drone. You'll be a key contributor in shaping the future of drones as critical infrastructure — building intuitive, resilient, high-performance interfaces that deliver mission-critical video, telemetry, and collaboration at the edge.
This is a role with real architectural latitude. You'll make foundational decisions about how our cross-platform app is structured, and you'll see the results in the field, where the people using what you build are operating under time pressure and can't afford a dropped frame or a confusing screen.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Innovate on UI/UX for Skydio's new cross-platform mobile app
Build video- and map-based experiences for a range of user personas, from trained pilots to first-time public users
Improve app performance through tasteful use of native code versus TypeScript — knowing when to drop into Swift or Kotlin and when not to
Establish the patterns the app is built on: shared components, navigation and state management conventions, testing strategy, CI/CD, and performance budgets
Own features end to end, from early prototype through customer rollout, with release management, feature flagging, and observability in place
Enable first responders to run complex multi-drone operations with ease
Collaborate with the autonomy and cloud teams, and iterate on features using feedback from the field
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years building and shipping customer-facing mobile applications, with substantial depth in React Native
Strong expertise in React, TypeScript, and GraphQL
Strong development skills in Swift and/or Kotlin, with real experience writing or maintaining native modules rather than only consuming them
Proven ability to design systems that scale for performance, reliability, and usability — and the diagnostic skill to find out why they don't
Experience building real-time, data-intensive features and integrating with external APIs and services
Strong product intuition and empathy for end users operating in high-stakes environments
Demonstrated experience working across teams to take complex, integrated features from concept to production
Comfort operating with ambiguity and a bias toward action
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Bonus Points:
Experience with real-time video streaming (WebRTC, LiveKit, RTP/UDP pipelines, or similar)
Experience with geospatial data visualization (Mapbox, Cesium, or similar)
Experience with 3D tooling and matrix-based transformations (OpenGL, WebGL, WebGPU, Three.js, or similar)
Exposure to autonomy or robotics platforms, or any app that communicates directly with physical hardware over BLE, Wi-Fi, or a vendor SDK
Experience with Expo and modern React Native tooling, including the New Architecture (Fabric, TurboModules)
Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows and an interest in pushing what's possible with them
Work Location: This role is a hybrid position, requiring you to work from our San Mateo, California office three days per week. While we are flexible regarding which days you come in, all employees are expected to be able to commute to the office three times a week or be open to relocating closer. We offer relocation packages to assist candidates with this move.
Note: You don't need to check every box. If you're excited about this role and think you'd be a strong fit, we encourage you to apply — even if your experience doesn't match every qualification listed above.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

About the role:
Packaging is the first thing a customer sees and touches and the last mile between our hardware and our customers. A Skydio drone might ship across the country in a corrugated carton, live for three years in a hard case in the trunk of a patrol car, get thrown in the back of a utility truck, or be carried into the field on a soldier’s back — and it has to work every time it comes out. You will own the designs that make that workflow possible: the unboxing moment, the field case, the foam, the labeling, and the pack-out on our production line. This is a highly cross-functional role sitting between design, manufacturing, supply chain, and our vendors.
How you’ll make an impact:
Own customer-facing and enterprise-ready packaging from concept to mass production across Skydio’s full product ecosystem including aircraft, docks, controllers, batteries, attachments, and accessories. You will lead the design and execution of commercial cartons, ruggedized field and transit cases, precision foam and molded-fiber inserts, multi-component kits, and accessory trays.
Design packaging parts and assemblies in 3D CAD, including cushion geometry, cavity fits, trays, closures, and case interiors, with die lines and drawings that a vendor can build.
Partner with industrial design, product management, and marketing to craft an unboxing and use experience worthy of the product inside
Engage with mechanical, electrical, battery and material flow engineering to keep product safe and improve transport efficiency
Interface with and own technical activity at vendors in partnership with operations and supply chain teams — RFQs, tooling kickoffs, first article inspection, quality and inspection criteria, and corrective action when parts come in wrong packaging, working closely with the Supplier Quality Engineers and Product Quality Teams.
Design for a broad set of packaging processes and make the call on which one fits: corrugated and folding carton, molded fiber, thermoforming, rotational and injection molding, converted and CNC-routed foams, and soft goods. Work with Material Flow and Logistics to optimize packaging sizes and dunnage for spatial and operational gains
Define and execute transit and field testing including drop, vibration, compression, incline impact, thermal and humidity conditioning against some or all of ISTA, ASTM D4169, ATA 300, and MIL-STD-810 as appropriate, and use analysis to prove the design before you cut tooling.
Own packaging compliance and labeling: lithium battery shipping marks and documentation, hazmat and carrier requirements, regulatory markings, serialization, and the artwork process that keeps them all correct across SKUs and regions.
Support our internal manufacturing and factory teams with pack-out processes, line-side layout, packaging BOMs, and work instructions that hold up at rate.
Debug field damage and shipping returns with an eye for the smallest details and a commitment to reach the deepest causes.
What makes you a good fit:
Prior packaging or product development experience with a proven track record of execution, enthusiasm, and cooperation. This role could be a senior-level depending on experience.
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, packaging engineering, or equivalent with demonstrated academic excellence.
Mastery of 3D CAD, specifically as used in developing complex assemblies. Experience with CATIA preferred.
Fluency in 2D structural design and artwork workflows: die lines, dieline-to-print handoff, and working alongside graphic designers on printed packaging.
Demonstrated ability to design for packaging manufacturing processes (corrugated and folding carton, foam conversion, and thermoforming required; molded fiber, roto-molding, injection molding, and soft goods desired).
Hands-on prototyping instinct: you’re willing to knife-cut a carton, hot-wire a foam block, or spin a sample overnight rather than wait two weeks for a vendor for proof of concept.
Ability to produce well-constructed, thorough part and assembly drawings, specifications, and tolerance stacks that anticipate a real production fit.
Working knowledge of transit and field test standards and the judgment to know which ones actually matter for a given product.
Comfort being deeply involved in vendor relationships directly including quoting, tooling timelines, technical negotiation, and travel to supplier sites, including a domestic and international supply base.
A strategic mind across the full design, source, build, validate, and ship process. Proven ability to make considered decisions at various stages.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Nice to have:
Experience with ruggedized or mission-critical cases for defense, public safety, or industrial customers.
High-volume consumer electronics packaging experience, including retail channel and e-commerce requirements.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $153,000 - $243,000*. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for SLED Small Cities. The motion is transactional and high volume, coverage runs at one Solutions Engineer to two Key Account Leaders, and the agencies are small enough that a single well-run demonstration often decides the outcome.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – SLED.
About the Team:
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across a two to one coverage model. Leverage is the job, and what cannot be templated, recorded, or reused will not scale here.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Stand the team up. Most of the seats are open, the operating model does not exist yet, and much of the segment is carried by Inside Sales working remote first.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have:
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
What Is Required:
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $172,000 - $215,000* plus commission. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to receive the following benefits: Paid vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay and 401K savings plan. This position and all associated benefits are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as the Company’s policies and eligibility criteria.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for SLED Majors East. This role carries some of the most complex programs in our portfolio: multi-site, citywide Drone as First Responder deployments, statewide highway and transit programs, and federal work through DOJ, alongside the Canadian public safety business.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – SLED.
About the Team
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across the East majors portfolio, including citywide programs that run multiple docks and span several agencies inside a single customer.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for National Security, Defense. This role leads the team supporting the Department of War, United States Special Operations Command, and the Intelligence Community, with the work centred on upstream requirements development, evaluations and field trials, system integration, and unit-level enablement across Skydio's end-to-end UAS solutions.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 50%, including regular international travel, is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – National Security.
About the Team:
The National Security Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's defense go-to-market motion. We sit between the customer and the product: translating mission problems into requirements, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are accredited, integrated, and flown at scale, including in contested environments where the network, the spectrum, and the GPS signal are all in question.
The team is measured on technical win rate, evaluation and field trial outcomes, program expansion, and the quality of the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Account Executives, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of federal sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the agencies and components in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, integration designs, RFI and RFP responses, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of operators, engineers, and program leadership.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Set a sustainable operating rhythm for a team that travels hard. Manage deployment tempo deliberately so field presence does not come at the cost of retention.
Own the technical strategy for pursuits across your accounts: evaluation and down-select strategy, proof of concept and field trial design, and the technical narrative that differentiates Skydio.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a pilot program into a program of record.
Shape requirements upstream. Get your team in front of program offices, capability development staffs, and operators early so solicitations reflect capability we actually have.
Build the muscle to compete in exercises and operational assessments. Service and SOF selection decisions are frequently made in the field, under observation. Plan for that as the primary proving ground, not a follow-on step.
Build and maintain team fluency in the accreditation path — ATO, impact levels for cloud hosting, NIPR and SIPR employment, cross-domain considerations — and in NDAA compliance, Blue UAS status, and the vehicles these customers buy through: programs of record, OTAs, SBIR Phase III, IDIQs, and unit-level O&M.
Guide integration strategy with the systems these forces already fight with: TAK and its SOF variants, MANET and secure tactical radios, tactical C2 and fires applications, and service mission-planning environments.
Own the airworthiness and airspace picture across service lines, including service flight clearances, shipboard considerations, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and range and installation approvals.
Understand employment in contested and degraded conditions — EW, GPS-denied, comms-limited — well enough to design honest test plans and keep the team from overpromising.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role supporting defense customers.
5+ years of federal government or defense experience in a discipline relevant to UAS — operations, maintenance, ISR, test and evaluation, acquisition, or training.
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people in an operational environment will be considered.
Demonstrated understanding of a defense acquisition process for technology, from requirements development through evaluation, award, and fielding.
Technical depth in at least one core area: UAS platforms, RF and datalink systems, EO/IR and other sensor payloads, software integration and APIs, cloud and data architecture, or government IT security.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a general officer without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Direct experience supporting SOCOM or its components (NSWC, MARSOC, AFSOC, USASOC, JSOC), a Theater Special Operations Command, or Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force or Space Force units.
Prior military UAS operator, maintainer, or instructor certification.
Experience with shipboard, small boat, or maritime UAS employment, including launch and recovery from a moving deck.
Experience in contested or degraded environments — EW, GPS-denied, comms-limited — and with mission planning, CONOPS, and TTP development for small UAS.
Hands-on experience with MANET radios and secure comms (TSM, TrellisWare, Silvus, Persistent Systems), and familiarity with counter-UAS and airspace deconfliction.
Experience navigating an RMF package or ATO from the vendor side, and with OTAs, prototype agreements, or SBIR Phase III transitions.
Familiarity with foreign disclosure, ITAR, and FMS processes.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
What Is Required
Ability to travel up to 50% of the time, including regular international travel.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance, or the ability to obtain one.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.

Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.\n\n - Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.\n\nWhat Makes You a Good Fit:\n\n - 5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role supporting defense customers.\n\n - 5+ years of federal government or defense experience in a discipline relevant to UAS — operations, maintenance, ISR, test and evaluation, acquisition, or training.\n\n - 1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people in an operational environment will be considered.\n\n - Demonstrated understanding of a defense acquisition process for technology, from requirements development through evaluation, award, and fielding.\n\n - Technical depth in at least one core area: UAS platforms, RF and datalink systems, EO/IR and other sensor payloads, software integration and APIs, cloud and data architecture, or government IT security.\n\n - Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.\n\n - Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a general officer without changing the facts.\n\n - Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.\n\nNice to Have\n\n - Direct experience supporting SOCOM or its components (NSWC, MARSOC, AFSOC, USASOC, JSOC), a Theater Special Operations Command, or Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force or Space Force units.\n\n - Prior military UAS operator, maintainer, or instructor certification.\n\n - Experience with shipboard, small boat, or maritime UAS employment, including launch and recovery from a moving deck.\n\n - Experience in contested or degraded environments — EW, GPS-denied, comms-limited — and with mission planning, CONOPS, and TTP development for small UAS.\n\n - Hands-on experience with MANET radios and secure comms (TSM, TrellisWare, Silvus, Persistent Systems), and familiarity with counter-UAS and airspace deconfliction.\n\n - Experience navigating an RMF package or ATO from the vendor side, and with OTAs, prototype agreements, or SBIR Phase III transitions.\n\n - Familiarity with foreign disclosure, ITAR, and FMS processes.\n\n - Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.\n\nWhat Is Required\n\n - Ability to travel up to 50% of the time, including regular international travel.\n\n - Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.\n\n - Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance, or the ability to obtain one.\n\n - Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.\n\nCompensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced operations leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for Launch Team Readiness, West. This role leads the readiness function for the weastern half of the dock business, owning the customer journey from pre-sales readiness — technical, policy, and operational — through deployment, training, and go-live, and it is measured on the team's outcomes rather than your own: on-time deployments, smooth launches, and confident customers.
This is a remote role. Travel of 50 to 60% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events, with heavier travel expected during periods of team growth and onboarding.
This role reports to the Director, Launch Team.
About the Team:
The Launch Team is the operational arm of Skydio's dock business. We sit between the opportunity and the running program, and readiness means everything an agency needs to launch: the site, the policy and public approval behind it, the flight operation that will run it, and a clean handoff to Customer Success. We do not perform every piece of that work, but we project manage the customer to all of it and are accountable for the date.
The team is measured on time-to-launch, readiness gate adherence, deployment schedule performance, and the condition of the program at handoff. Readiness capacity is sized against dock site volume, so the function has to scale faster than headcount.
Readiness Specialists are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Solutions Engineers, Deployment Engineering, Legal and Policy, and Customer Success to support successful deployments and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team of Readiness Specialists, with clear ownership and coverage across the accounts in your region, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for readiness quality — site readiness standards, launch checklists, training delivery, and handoff documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity and account assignment across your region, balancing launch complexity against specialist experience, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the health of the readiness portfolio across the West region, with visibility into site readiness, policy and approval milestones, deployment and training progress, and launch criteria on every active account.
Identify at-risk launches early and drive resolution, escalating when blockers exceed the team's authority, and directly own complex, strategic, or recovering launches when the situation warrants.
Work closely with your counterpart in the East so the two halves of the readiness function run one motion rather than two.
Partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering leadership to align readiness capacity with pipeline, and advise on site feasibility and launch requirements for strategic pursuits.
Develop and maintain the readiness playbook: launch checklists, site readiness standards, policy and approval templates, flight readiness criteria, documentation, and handoff criteria.
Make the definition of readiness legible to customers. Agencies routinely underestimate the policy, approval, and staffing work, and naming it early is what protects the launch date.
Hold the line on readiness gates. Deployment prerequisites are verified before a dock ships, on every account, without exception.
Identify patterns and recurring blockers across launches and drive systemic fixes rather than one-off workarounds, so the function scales against dock volume rather than headcount.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering, and the escalation point for cross-team conflicts affecting launch timelines.
Ensure a clean post-launch handoff to Customer Success, with clear documentation of configuration, policy commitments, and readiness status, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant experience in a customer-facing operations, deployment, implementation, or project delivery role, including work with public safety customers.
1+ years leading a team, formally or as a lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Familiarity with Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations. Professional experience is strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities, and to build repeatable process in an ambiguous environment.
Highly organized with strong attention to detail. Comfortable managing timelines, dependencies, and readiness gates across a portfolio.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service, or experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program on the agency side.
Experience supporting an agency through a public approval process — council or board authorization, public comment, or privacy and data retention policy.
Experience with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale, and with site survey, RF and LTE assessment, and network readiness for fixed installations.
Experience owning a customer onboarding or implementation function through a period of rapid growth.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
What Is Required
Ability to travel 50 to 60% of the time, with heavier travel during periods of team growth and onboarding.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Director, Solutions Engineering for SLED. This role owns the technical outcome for state and local government, education, and corrections across the United States and Canada. It is a leader of leaders role: you will build and run a multi-team organization through a year of significant growth, and the bar you set for hiring and technical quality is the one the whole vertical inherits.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the VP, Solutions Engineering.
About the Team
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs. As Director you are the technical counterpart to the VP of SLED Sales, and you own the coverage model that pairs the two organizations together.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Recruit, hire, and develop Senior Managers, and create the path that takes strong Solutions Engineers into their first management role.
Hold each manager to a segment outcome rather than an activity count, and coach them on coaching.
Scale the organization without losing the bar. Hiring velocity in the first half of the year is the single largest execution risk in the plan.
Own the operating rhythm of the vertical: forecast reviews, capacity decisions, and the escalation path when demand for technical resources exceeds supply.
Own the technical win across all of SLED, and own the coverage model that pairs Solutions Engineering to the sales organization seat for seat. Defend it, or revise it with evidence, each planning cycle.
Partner with the VP of SLED Sales as the technical counterpart on segmentation, territory design, and headcount, and bring a defensible position rather than a request.
Represent SLED in forecast, planning, and executive reviews, and bring technical risk forward early rather than at the end of the quarter.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
8+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role.
2+ years leading leaders. A track record of managing managers, or of managing a team large enough to have required a second layer.
A record of building organizations through fast growth — hiring, onboarding, and retaining technical people at volume.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
Fluency in the commercial side of the business: coverage models, forecast discipline, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Experience with state and local government procurement, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
What Is Required
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.\n\n - Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.\n\nWhat Makes You a Good Fit:\n\n - 8+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role.\n\n - 2+ years leading leaders. A track record of managing managers, or of managing a team large enough to have required a second layer.\n\n - A record of building organizations through fast growth — hiring, onboarding, and retaining technical people at volume.\n\n - Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.\n\n - Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.\n\n - Fluency in the commercial side of the business: coverage models, forecast discipline, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.\n\n - Experience with state and local government procurement, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.\n\n - Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.\n\n - Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.\n\nNice to Have\n\n - Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.\n\n - Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.\n\n - Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.\n\n - Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.\n\n - Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.\n\nWhat Is Required\n\n - Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.\n\n - Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.\n\n - Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.\n\nCompensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
Skydio is seeking a Solutions Engineering leader to run the Emerging Industries team, the group responsible for turning promising use cases into repeatable, scalable businesses. You will lead a team of quota-bearing Solutions Engineers who operate at the front edge of the market: scoping and executing proofs of concept, defining success criteria where none exist, validating new hardware, software, and workflows, and determining whether a use case is real before the company invests behind it.
In addition to the Emerging Industries team, you will manage Solutions Engineers who support Skydio's high-leverage sales channels and our Inside Sales Representatives (ISRs). These roles extend Solutions Engineering coverage through partners and high-velocity sales motions, and they require a different operating model than field POCs: scalable enablement, fast technical qualification, and repeatable assets over bespoke engagements.
This is a remote role. Travel of up to 50% is required to support customer engagements, POCs, field validation, partner activities, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – Commercial.
The Commercial Solutions Engineering team is the technical authority behind every commercial engagement. We sit between the customer and the product: running technical discovery, designing solutions, executing paid dock trials, and carrying customers from a first site through fleet-wide rollout.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, and the quality of requirements we push back into the product organization. Solutions Engineers operate against a shared quota with their sales counterparts, and Solutions Specialists provide domain depth as an overlay across segments.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio Sales organization and work closely with Account Executives, Inside Sales Representatives, Partner and Rental teams, Solutions Specialists, Deployment Engineers, and the Launch Team to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of commercial UAS programs.
Hire, develop, and retain a team of Solutions Engineers with complementary domain coverage across target segments.
Build the qualification framework for new use cases and industries: what gets a POC, what gets a deferral, and what evidence is required to move a segment from exploratory to funded.
Own team productivity, engagement, and growth. Serve as the decision-maker for Solutions Engineering capacity within your segment: set priorities for where the team's time goes, decline requests that don't meet the bar, and keep Sales leadership informed of the tradeoffs behind each call.
Develop people beyond the seat they are in, including career paths, promotion cases, and succession inside your team.
Own technical win rate for Emerging Industries and partner with segment sales leadership on pipeline health and quota attainment.
Lead POC and pilot design across oil and gas including optical gas imaging and methane detection, construction and AEC progress documentation, survey and mapping, mining, and logistics and distribution.
Work with GTM, Marketing, and Sales leadership to shape segment definitions, target account lists, and go-to-market plays as the commercial segmentation model evolves.
Maintain team fluency in survey and mapping workflows: photogrammetry, PPK and RTK, 3D scan, survey-grade accuracy standards, and 3D data deliverables.
Partner with vendors and Product on payload and sensor requirements for new workflows; define constraints and acceptance criteria.
Build the technical assets — demo environments, workflow documentation, accuracy and validation whitepapers — that let a new segment scale beyond its first few deals.
Own the team’s PRD output and act as the internal voice of the market for segments without a dedicated product owner.
Build and maintain scalable technical assets — reference architectures, demo scripts, workflow documentation, and playbooks — that reduce time-to-productivity for new Solutions Engineers.
Maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use, sufficient to engage meaningfully with both customers and your own team.
Prior experience as a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, or equivalent technical pre-sales role in one or more of oil and gas, AEC and construction, mining, industrial, or logistics.
Experience running structured proofs of concept with defined success criteria, and the discipline to report results honestly when they are unfavorable.
Working knowledge of survey and mapping workflows: photogrammetry, PPK and RTK, 3D scan, survey-grade accuracy standards, and 3D data deliverables.
Familiarity with specialized payloads — optical gas imaging, LiDAR, therma, RGB — and the ability to define vendor requirements.
Experience with integrations, REST-based APIs, and customer data pipeline patterns.
Strong commercial judgment: the ability to distinguish a genuine market from an interesting demo, and to communicate that distinction to executives.
Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to write a clear PRD and a clear POC report.
Demonstrated people leadership, including hiring and coaching in a segment where the playbook is still being written.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Direct operator or program experience in AEC, oil and gas, mining, rail, or ports.
Experience bringing a new industry segment from first deal to repeatable motion.
Experience with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Jira, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
FAA Part 107 Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 60 days of hire.
Ability to travel up to 50% to support customer engagements, team field activities, and company events.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages.

About the Role:
We're looking for a Marketing Operations Manager to own the systems behind our marketing programs and connect them to the BDR and sales teams so they run as one motion rather than a series of handoffs. When Marketing launches a program, this person makes sure it's built, QA'd, and lands cleanly with reps. When a BDR identifies an opportunity, this person makes sure the data, lists, and programs behind it are ready to act on immediately. The quality and completeness of our GTM data is what makes that speed possible, and as we expand into new segments and apply more AI and automation across the revenue engine, that foundation matters more every quarter.
You'll join a Revenue Operations team that has built the core routing, enrichment, and funnel infrastructure, and you'll have room to improve each of them. Because marketing systems feed directly into the sales process, you'll also partner with Sales and BDR teams on Salesforce work that keeps pipeline moving, and help harden routing, enrichment, and data hygiene alongside the rest of RevOps.
This role is built for someone who ramps fast and runs independently. With documented systems and SOPs to lean on, you'll be expected to own your queue within your first 30–45 days and make sound calls without waiting for sign-off. Day-to-day operational support is a real part of the job, but the greater impact comes from identifying and building durable, scalable solutions that drive revenue. The ideal candidate builds strong relationships across Sales, Marketing, and BDR leadership, treats data as a strategic asset, and consistently prioritizes the work with the greatest business impact.
This is a contractor role with opportunity to convert to full time hire.
How You'll Make an Impact:
Own Market program operations end to end, including builds, templates, segmentation, scoring, and QA. This covers campaigns, events, direct mail, and BDR-driven outreach, so programs launch cleanly and hand off to reps without friction.
Operate and evolve inbound lead routing, assignment logic, and enrichment with the broader RevOps team. Keep rules accurate as territories and segments change, and make sure records arrive complete enough for a rep to act on.
Build and scale foundational ops architecture across our stack, including lead lifecycle and account funnel models, lead status, and deduplication and RingLead matching rules.
Serve as the operational partner to Sales and BDR teams on Salesforce requests, record hygiene, and reporting, turning recurring asks into repeatable workflows.
Identify and ship improvements across our marketing stack that increase pipeline, improve speed to lead, or make Sales and Marketing more efficient.
Prioritize incoming requests from Marketing, Sales, and BDR leadership, and communicate tradeoffs directly when capacity is constrained.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years in Marketing Operations or Revenue Operations, including hands-on Salesforce work supporting Sales and BDR teams and systems ownership rather than campaign execution alone.
Deep hands-on Marketo experience, including program architecture, smart lists, scoring, and the Salesforce sync.
A track record of driving measurable outcomes through systems and data work, such as faster lead response, higher inbound conversion, or better pipeline visibility.
A builder's orientation toward scalable solutions, with examples of turning recurring operational issues into durable processes or automation while still managing day-to-day demands.
You drive work forward rather than waiting for it. Given an outcome, you define the problem, propose the approach, flag risks early, and ship.
Strong Salesforce administration skills, including objects and relationships, field architecture, validation rules, flows, and reporting.
Practical Clay experience, including waterfall enrichment and Salesforce writeback, and comfort working with data outside the UI through SQL, scripting, or spreadsheets at scale.
A data steward's mindset. You notice when a field is misused, fix root causes rather than symptoms, document systems as you build them, and treat record quality as a shared asset.
Proven ability to build strong relationships across stakeholder groups with competing priorities, and the judgment to focus effort where it matters most.
Preferred Qualifications:
Familiarity with Palantir Foundry, or a warehouse-centric reporting stack that feeds GTM systems.
Outreach, LeanData, RingLead, or Gong administration experience.
Experience applying AI and workflow automation to GTM operations, whether through Clay, Zapier, n8n, or LLM-based enrichment and classification.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: This is a temporary independent contractor (1099) position with an initial contract duration of six (6) months, with the potential to extend or evolve based on business needs and mutual fit. The hourly rate range for this contract is $75 – $130* per hour and will vary based on factors including skill level, relevant experience, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and geographic location. This position is not eligible for company-sponsored benefits. As an independent contractor, the individual is solely responsible for maintaining any required liability insurance, other applicable insurance coverage, benefits, and for the payment of all applicable federal, state, and local taxes. We consider qualified applicants consistent with applicable law. Background checks will be conducted in accordance with legal requirements. This contract position is subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as the terms of the contractor agreement.
*Compensation for certain positions may vary based on the position’s location.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced operations leader to join our team as Director, Launch Team. This role owns customer readiness from the point an opportunity is qualified through to a live, running dock program, across both regions and the whole of the dock business. A dock program goes live when the site is ready, the policy is approved, the public conversation has been had, and the agency has the people to fly it; the Launch Team runs that plan, holds the sequence, and is accountable for the date. It is a leader of leaders role, and the readiness bar you set is the one every launch inherits.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the VP, Solutions Engineering.
About the Team
The Launch Team is the operational arm of Skydio's dock business. We sit between the opportunity and the running program, and we are the integrator across four domains: site readiness, from dock placement and mounting through power, connectivity and contractor coordination; policy and public approval, from privacy and retention policy through council authorization and public comment; flight readiness, covering the remote pilot station, airspace authorizations, CAD, radio, video and evidence integrations, and who flies and supervises; and operational handoff, the documentation, configuration, training and program condition Customer Success receives.
The team is measured on time-to-launch, readiness gate adherence, deployment schedule performance, and the condition of the program at handoff. Readiness capacity is sized against dock site volume, so the function has to scale faster than headcount.
Readiness Specialists work closely with Solutions Engineers, Deployment Engineering, Legal and Policy, and Customer Success to support successful deployments and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs. As Director you own the capacity model that sizes the function, and you are the operational counterpart to Solutions Engineering and Deployment Engineering leadership.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Recruit, hire, and develop Senior Managers, and create the path that takes strong Readiness Specialists into their first management role.
Hold each manager to a regional outcome rather than an activity count, and coach them on coaching.
Scale the function without losing the bar.
Own the operating rhythm of the function: launch reviews, capacity decisions, and the escalation path when deployment demand exceeds readiness supply.
Own time-to-launch and readiness gate adherence across the entire dock portfolio, and own the capacity model that sizes the function against dock site volume rather than bookings.
Engage readiness early. The work that determines a launch date — council calendars, policy drafting, staffing decisions, site access — starts before the contract is signed, and the team is expected to be in it.
Partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering leadership on pipeline, site feasibility, and launch sequencing, and bring a defensible position rather than a request.
Represent the Launch Team in forecast, planning, and executive reviews, and bring launch risk forward early rather than at the end of the quarter.
Develop and maintain the readiness playbook across all four domains: launch checklists, site readiness standards, policy and approval templates, flight readiness criteria, documentation, and handoff criteria.
Project manage the customer to readiness. Your team does not write the agency's privacy policy, make their staffing decisions, or install the dock. It owns the plan, the sequence, the dependencies, and the date, and brings in the right internal owner at the right time.
Make the definition of readiness legible to customers. Agencies routinely underestimate the policy, approval, and staffing work; naming it early is what protects the launch date.
Hold the line on readiness gates, report on time-to-launch and gate adherence, and drive systemic fixes for recurring blockers rather than one-off workarounds.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering, and the escalation point for cross-team conflicts affecting launch timelines.
Carry what the team learns in council chambers and community meetings back into how Skydio prepares the next agency for the same conversation.
Ensure a clean post-launch handoff to Customer Success, with clear documentation of configuration, policy commitments, and readiness status.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
8+ years of relevant experience in customer-facing operations, deployment, implementation, or project delivery, including time in a public safety or regulated environment.
2+ years leading leaders. A track record of managing managers, or of managing a team large enough to have required a second layer.
Experience guiding customers or agencies through a public approval process — council or board authorization, public comment, privacy and data retention policy, or community engagement on a program that drew scrutiny.
A record of building organizations through fast growth, and of building repeatable process in an ambiguous environment.
Familiarity with Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations. Professional experience is strongly preferred.
Fluency in the commercial side of the business: capacity models, forecast discipline, and the judgment to know when to commit resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, a city council, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service, or experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program on the agency side.
Direct experience with sUAS or surveillance technology policy: CJIS, records retention, community oversight ordinances, or state privacy requirements.
Experience with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale, and with site survey, RF and LTE assessment, and network readiness for fixed installations.
Experience owning a customer onboarding or implementation function through a period of rapid growth.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
What Is Required
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for SLED Majors West. This role carries some of the most complex programs in our portfolio: multi-site, citywide Drone as First Responder deployments, statewide highway and transit programs, and federal work through DOJ, alongside the Canadian public safety business.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – SLED.
About the Team
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across the East majors portfolio, including citywide programs that run multiple docks and span several agencies inside a single customer.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $172,000 - $215,000 plus commission*. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans.

This position and all associated benefits are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as the Company’s policies and eligibility criteria.

About the role:
As a Strategic Account Manager, you’ll own a named set of the largest enterprises in the US. You’re responsible for the whole relationship: you lead with security, then expand into inspection and other operational use cases with specialist support. This isn’t a volume-hunting role. You’ll go deep: map every buying center, build executive relationships, and take each account from first trial to multi-site deployment. Landing large enterprise logos and then expanding into additional teams, departments, business units and locations is a large part of the job. The first deployment is the start of the relationship, not the goal. You’ll lead a dedicated pod of Business Development, Solutions Engineering and Program Management, and you’re accountable for customers who deploy at scale and become public references.
How you’ll make an impact:
Own a named book of strategic accounts, with a multi-year account plan for each covering stakeholders, business units, sites and expansion path.
Build relationships with CSOs, VPs of Global Security, GSOC leaders and their operations, facilities and risk counterparts.
Land new strategic logos with a well-scoped paid trial or first site deployment that is set up to expand from day one.
Expand systematically after the initial win into new teams, departments, business units and sites, using each deployment as the reference for the next.
Build business cases that put autonomous coverage against the cost of staffed security posts, and position multi-year (5-year) programs.
Lead customers through procurement, InfoSec/vendor risk reviews, MSAs on customer paper, and SLA negotiation.
Direct your account pod (BD, SE, PM) so evaluations succeed and deployment at scale is planned before the contract closes.
Expand from security into inspection and operational use cases, so Skydio becomes the standard across the enterprise as a Force Multiplier.
Develop referenceable customers and case studies with Marketing.
Forecast accurately and manage pipeline in SFDC/Clari.
What makes you a good fit:
8–12+ years of enterprise sales, including closing seven-figure, multi-year, multi-site deals with Fortune 500 customers.
Required: a proven track record of landing large enterprise logos and expanding them across multiple teams, departments, business units and locations, growing an initial deal into a multi-year, enterprise-wide program. Be ready to walk through specific examples.
Experience selling physical security, safety or operational technology. Axon, Verkada, Genetec, Milestone, Motorola Solutions, LenelS2 or similar is a strong plus.
Existing relationships with corporate security leaders. Active in ASIS / GSX is a plus.
Comfortable with long cycles: procurement, legal, security review and executive sign-off across several business units.
Rigorous qualification using MEDDPICC or similar, especially decision process (with documented success criteria) and paper process.
Can lead cross-functional teams without direct authority.
Robotics, UAV or emerging technology experience preferred.
Startup or high-growth experience preferred.
Ability to travel 50%+.
Based near a major US hub airport.
What success looks like in year one:
Account plans in place for every named account.
Two or more paid trials running, with at least one converted to a multi-site program.
At least one referenceable customer.
Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $144,000 - $180,000 + commission. Fundamentally, we believe that equity is the key to long-term financial growth, and we ensure all regular, full-time employees have the opportunity to significantly benefit from the company's success. Regular, full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the Company’s group health insurance plans.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
Site security is the fastest-growing segment within Skydio's commercial business, and we are building a new market category in autonomous site security. We are hiring the Solutions Engineering leader for this team. You will lead quota-carrying Solutions Engineers dedicated to site security customers, partnering directly with Account Executives on territory, along with a Site Security Solutions Specialist who brings deep domain expertise to the team's most complex pursuits. You own your team's number, the technical sales motion behind it, and the people who deliver it. Your mandate is to build a team that wins consistently, forecasts accurately, and scales with the segment as it grows, carrying customers from a first site into fleet-wide security programs.
This is a remote role. Travel of up to 60% is required to support customer engagements, POCs, site assessments, team field activities, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – Commercial.
The Commercial Solutions Engineering team is the technical authority behind every commercial engagement. We sit between the customer and the product: running technical discovery, designing solutions, executing paid dock trials, and carrying customers from a first site through fleet-wide rollout.
The Site Security team is the growth engine of Commercial. Its Solutions Engineers focus exclusively on security buyers — data centers, departments of corrections, military installations, corporate campuses, healthcare, manufacturing, and executive protection — and operate against a shared quota with their Account Executive counterparts. The team's Solutions Specialist provides deeper domain expertise across the team's pursuits.
The team is measured on quota attainment, technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, and the quality of requirements we push back into the product organization. Solutions Engineers work closely with Account Executives, Solutions Specialists, Deployment Engineers, and the Launch Team to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of commercial UAS programs.
Hire, develop, and retain a team of quota-carrying Site Security Solutions Engineers and a Site Security Solutions Specialist; own ramp, enablement, and career progression.
Scale the team ahead of segment growth: plan headcount against pipeline and approved AE-to-SE coverage ratios, and build a hiring profile that brings in security-fluent technical sellers.
Own team performance against quota. Run regular pipeline and deal reviews, coach on security-focused discovery, solution design, demos, and trial execution, and hold the team to a high bar on technical win rate.
Manage territory and account alignment between SEs and Account Executives, and balance workload so coverage stays strong as demand increases.
Define how the team engages the Specialist: when to pull them in, how to brief them, and how work hands back to the account SE, so specialist time goes to the deals where deep domain expertise decides the outcome.
Develop people beyond the seat they are in, including career paths, promotion cases, and succession inside your team.
Partner with security sales leadership on forecasting, deal strategy, and pipeline health; own the technical forecast for your team and call risk early.
Personally engage on strategic and category-defining pursuits where a leader's involvement changes the outcome, without becoming the bottleneck.
Establish a repeatable technical sales motion for priority sub-segments — data centers, departments of corrections, and military installations — and extend it into corporate campuses, healthcare, manufacturing, and executive protection.
Drive expansion by ensuring trials convert and first deployments grow into multi-site and fleet-wide security programs, in partnership with Deployment Engineering and the Launch Team.
Support executive briefings, customer summits, and category-defining content alongside Marketing and Product.
With your Specialist, build and maintain Skydio's security technical playbook — patrol and detection zone design patterns, alarm and event-triggered response concepts of operation, operator handoff into existing GSOC procedures, and reference architectures by sub-segment — and make sure every SE on the team can run it.
Define standards for site assessment, RF and site-readiness planning, dock siting, and installation scoping; drive consistency across engagements to reduce project friction and rework.
Equip the team to handle integration conversations with VMS, access control, and third-party AI and computer vision platforms, and guide enterprise security reviews, InfoSec questionnaires, and on-premises deployment requirements.
Build scalable technical assets — reference architectures, demo environments and scripts, workflow documentation, and playbooks — that shorten ramp time for new Site Security SEs.

The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors https://www.skydio.com/solutions/energy-and-utilities to first responders https://www.skydio.com/solutions/public-safety, soldiers in battlefield scenarios https://www.skydio.com/solutions/national-security/tactical-isr, and beyond https://www.skydio.com/solutions.\n\n\nABOUT THE ROLE\n\nSite security is the fastest-growing segment within Skydio's commercial business, and we are building a new market category in autonomous site security. We are hiring the Solutions Engineering leader for this team. You will lead quota-carrying Solutions Engineers dedicated to site security customers, partnering directly with Account Executives on territory, along with a Site Security Solutions Specialist who brings deep domain expertise to the team's most complex pursuits. You own your team's number, the technical sales motion behind it, and the people who deliver it. Your mandate is to build a team that wins consistently, forecasts accurately, and scales with the segment as it grows, carrying customers from a first site into fleet-wide security programs.\n\nThis is a remote role. Travel of up to 60% is required to support customer engagements, POCs, site assessments, team field activities, and company events.\n\nThis role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – Commercial.\n\n\nABOUT THE TEAM\n\nThe Commercial Solutions Engineering team is the technical authority behind every commercial engagement. We sit between the customer and the product: running technical discovery, designing solutions, executing paid dock trials, and carrying customers from a first site through fleet-wide rollout.\n\nThe Site Security team is the growth engine of Commercial. Its Solutions Engineers focus exclusively on security buyers — data centers, departments of corrections, military installations, corporate campuses, healthcare, manufacturing, and executive protection — and operate against a shared quota with their Account Executive counterparts. The team's Solutions Specialist provides deeper domain expertise across the team's pursuits.\n\nThe team is measured on quota attainment, technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, and the quality of requirements we push back into the product organization. Solutions Engineers work closely with Account Executives, Solutions Specialists, Deployment Engineers, and the Launch Team to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of commercial UAS programs.\n\n\n\n\nHOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT\n\n\nLEAD THE TEAM\n\n - Hire, develop, and retain a team of quota-carrying Site Security Solutions Engineers and a Site Security Solutions Specialist; own ramp, enablement, and career progression.\n\n - Scale the team ahead of segment growth: plan headcount against pipeline and approved AE-to-SE coverage ratios, and build a hiring profile that brings in security-fluent technical sellers.\n\n - Own team performance against quota. Run regular pipeline and deal reviews, coach on security-focused discovery, solution design, demos, and trial execution, and hold the team to a high bar on technical win rate.\n\n - Manage territory and account alignment between SEs and Account Executives, and balance workload so coverage stays strong as demand increases.\n\n - Define how the team engages the Specialist: when to pull them in, how to brief them, and how work hands back to the account SE, so specialist time goes to the deals where deep domain expertise decides the outcome.\n\n - Develop people beyond the seat they are in, including career paths, promotion cases, and succession inside your team.\n\n\nDRIVE TECHNICAL WINS\n\n - Partner with security sales leadership on forecasting, deal strategy, and pipeline health; own the technical forecast for your team and call risk early.\n\n - Personally engage on strategic and category-defining pursuits where a leader's involvement changes the outcome, without becoming the bottleneck.\n\n - Establish a repeatable technical sales motion for priority sub-segments — data centers, departments of corrections, and military installations — and extend it into corporate campuses, healthcare, manufacturing, and executive protection.\n\n - Drive expansion by ensuring trials convert and first deployments grow into multi-site and fleet-wide security programs, in partnership with Deployment Engineering and the Launch Team.\n\n - Support executive briefings, customer summits, and category-defining content alongside Marketing and Product.\n\n\nBUILD THE SITE SECURITY PROBLEM TECHNICAL PRACTICE\n\n - With your Specialist, build and maintain Skydio's security technical playbook — patrol and detection zone design patterns, alarm and event-triggered response concepts of operation, operator handoff into existing GSOC procedures, and reference architectures by sub-segment — and make sure every SE on the team can run it.\n\n - Define standards for site assessment, RF and site-readiness planning, dock siting, and installation scoping; drive consistency across engagements to reduce project friction and rework.\n\n - Equip the team to handle integration conversations with VMS, access control, and third-party AI and computer vision platforms, and guide enterprise security reviews, InfoSec questionnaires, and on-premises deployment requirements.\n\n - Build scalable technical assets — reference architectures, demo environments and scripts, workflow documentation, and playbooks — that shorten ramp time for new Site Security SEs.\n\n\nREPRESENT THE CUSTOMER INSIDE SKYDIO\n\n - Translate field requirements into PRDs and structured product input, with particular focus on AI and computer vision capability gaps that gate security buying decisions.\n\n - Aggregate feedback across your team's deals to give Product a clear, prioritized view of what security customers need to buy and expand.\n\n - Maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use, sufficient to engage meaningfully with both customers and your own team.\n\n\nWHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT\n\n - Prior experience as a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, Solutions Specialist, or equivalent technical pre-sales role in physical security, video surveillance, or critical infrastructure protection.\n\n - Direct domain experience in corporate security, GSOC operations, law enforcement, corrections, or military base security is strongly preferred.\n\n - Deep working knowledge of the physical security technology stack — VMS platforms, access control and PACS, perimeter intrusion detection, and video analytics.\n\n - Clear-eyed understanding of AI and computer vision capability boundaries in a security context, and the ability to have an honest technical conversation with a customer about what detection and classification can and cannot do today.\n\n - Experience with dock-based or remotely operated UAS deployments, including site planning, networking, and RF considerations.\n\n - Comfort with enterprise security review processes — InfoSec questionnaires, cyber and penetration testing requirements, and on-premises deployment constraints.\n\n - Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to present to a Chief Security Officer and a facilities engineer with equal credibility.\n\n - Demonstrated people leadership: hiring, coaching, performance management, and standing up process in an ambiguous, fast-moving segment.\n\n - Lead by example.

About the Role:
Skydio is seeking an experienced Solutions Engineering leader to join our team as Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering for Corrections and Campus Security. This is new coverage: Skydio has done corrections work and campus work, but never with a national team dedicated to it, and the knowledge has lived in individual heads rather than in a function. You will build that function from the ground up.
This is a remote role. Travel of approximately 30% is required to support customer engagements, field activities, deployments, team onsites, and company events.
This role reports to the Director, Solutions Engineering – SLED.
About the Team
The SLED Solutions Engineering team is the technical arm of Skydio's state and local go-to-market motion. We sit between the agency and the product: turning operational problems into program designs, proving capability in the field, and making sure Skydio's products are used, integrated, and flown at scale.
The team is measured on technical win rate, trial and proof of concept outcomes, program expansion, site assessment quality, and the requirements we push back into the product organization.
Solutions Engineers are critical members of the Skydio organization and work closely with Key Account Leaders, Engineering, and Product to support deal progression, customer confidence, successful deployments, and the long-term success of Public Safety sUAS programs.
How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hire, onboard, coach, and retain your team, with clear ownership and coverage across the territories in your segment, and develop people beyond the seat they are in.
Set the bar for technical quality — demos, trial plans, site assessments, and customer-facing documentation that hold up in front of a chief, a sheriff, or a city council.
Own capacity across your segment. Decide where Solutions Engineering time goes, say no when it needs to be said, and make the tradeoffs visible to leadership.
Own the technical win across corrections and campus security nationally, two problem sets that share a perimeter security motion but very little else.
Serve as the senior technical escalation point on critical pursuits, deployments, and customer issues. Jump in and work the problem yourself, and be in the field when it matters.
Partner with Sales leadership on pipeline, forecast, and account planning, and on the land-and-expand motion that turns a first dock into a citywide program.
Build the practice from nothing. There is no playbook, no reference architecture, and no established discovery motion for either problem set, and creating them is the first year of the job. Contraband interdiction, perimeter surveillance, and emergency response are distinct concepts of operation, and part of the job is being candid about where the technology fits and where it does not.
Own site assessment quality as a performance measure. Solutions Engineers are the DRI for verifying a dock location before deployment, and the quality of the resulting installation reflects on the team.
Hold the bar on proofs of concept: structured deployments tied to an active opportunity with measurable operational value, not casual evaluations.
Guide integration and airspace strategy — CAD and dispatch, video and evidence management, streaming platforms, BVLOS approvals, waivers, COAs, and docked operations.
Maintain command of the public sector procurement path, including cooperative contracts, grant funded programs, and public sector buying cycles.
Be the aggregated voice of the customer to Product and Engineering. Turn field observations into prioritized, defensible requirements rather than a list of one-off asks.
Build the enablement content, reference architectures, and reusable technical assets that let the team scale, and maintain first-hand product knowledge through frequent hands-on use.
What Makes You a Good Fit:
5+ years of relevant technical experience, including time in a customer-facing technical role (solutions engineering, field engineering, or applications engineering).
1+ years leading a technical team, formally or as a technical lead with hiring and mentorship responsibility. First-time managers with a demonstrated record of leading and developing people will be considered.
Strong understanding of drone technology, Public Safety sUAS operations, and regulatory compliance, including Drone as First Responder concepts of operation and dock based remote operations.
Working knowledge of Public Safety technologies, including CAD, VMS, and related software platforms, and the ability to lead integration discussions.
A track record of hiring, onboarding, and developing technical people, and of keeping them.
Comfort operating inside a Sales organization, including owning a quota, deal strategy, and the judgment to know when to commit technical resources and when to decline.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an operator, a program manager, and a senior executive without changing the facts.
Lead by example. Willing to do whatever is needed to get a customer situation resolved.
Nice to Have
Prior public safety service as a sworn officer, firefighter, or agency UAS program lead.
Experience standing up a Drone as First Responder program from waiver through go-live, and with dock-based, remote, and BVLOS operations at scale.
Familiarity with grant funding pathways and cooperative purchasing vehicles used by state and local agencies.
Working knowledge of Salesforce, Palantir, Databricks, or equivalents.
Track record of building and scaling a technical team through a period of rapid growth.
What Is Required
Ability to travel approximately 30% of the time.
Ability to lift up to 60 lbs unaided.
Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.

We work closely with both the hardware team and the rest of the software organization, creating the foundation for the rest of the Skydio software team to build upon.
How you'll make an impact:
Develop and implement the embedded software that runs on the drone and our growing accessory product lines e.g. Skydio Dock
Characterize, integrate, and validate key subsystems (e.g. cameras, radios, flight controllers)
Bring up and debug new hardware
Write interfaces and drivers for sensors, cameras, and other devices
What makes you a good fit:
Practical experience writing firmware/embedded code for a physical device
Proficiency with C++ within the context of embedded systems
