Description

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.

Responsibilities

The Autonomy Systems team builds the critical infrastructure that powers autonomy development at scale — from simulation systems to developer tooling to log analysis frameworks. We accelerate iteration cycles, unlock deeper insights, and enable safer and more reliable robotics systems across development and deployment.

Our scope spans:

  • Simulation systems used internally and externally — enabling high-fidelity testing, scenario replay, and customer-facing virtual environments.
  • Developer enablement tools — including log playback and visualization platforms, large-scale log-based regression testing, data mining for machine learning, and system observability dashboards.
  • High-leverage research projects — pushing the boundaries of autonomy through rapid experimentation, e.g., reinforcement learning for complex tasks like dock landings.

We work closely with autonomy, systems, and infrastructure teams, providing both foundational components and innovative tools that multiply their impact.
