Electrical Engineer, Robotics

An early career electrical engineer with experience in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) development, prototyping, electrical design, and system troubleshooting. The successful candidate will support efforts to design, develop, and refine electronic systems that meet our rigorous standards for quality and innovation. This position will work closely with WingXpand's senior engineers.

Composite Manufacturing Technician, Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber

We're looking for a hands-on Composite Manufacturing Technician to build the fiberglass and carbon-fiber structures that go on WingXpand's aircraft and ground and maritime robots. Composites are your focus — prepping and releasing tooling, laying up and bagging parts, and finishing them to a Class A, production-ready state. The parts you pull have to repeat, so we care as much about consistency and root-cause thinking as we do about craftsmanship. We're also looking for someone who wants to be useful across the whole shop. At our size, the best technicians don't stay in one lane. You'll receive training to support robotic assembly tasks — building up airframes, integrating subassemblies, and helping get finished systems out the door — and you'll pick up whatever else manufacturing needs as we scale. If you'd rather do one job forever, this isn't the right fit. If you want to keep adding skills, it's a good one. That breadth is also the growth path. We're building out our manufacturing operation now, and there's real room here to move up — into owning the composites process, setting the finish standard, writing the work instructions the next techs follow, or leading a production area. We'd rather promote someone who already knows how we build than hire over them. If you take pride in a surface that's actually right and want to see your work fly, this role is for you.

Electronics Technician, Drone Assembly

An electronics technician who solders well, reworks boards, and can troubleshoot a system to the component level. The successful candidate will build and repair harnesses and PCBs, bring up and test electrical systems, and diagnose failed units — then cross-train into robotics assembly and composites. This position works directly with WingXpand's electrical and mechanical engineers, along with the rest of the production team.

Senior Drone Pilot and Trainer, UAS

A senior unmanned aircraft operator with a background instructing, standardizing, or evaluating other operators, and the confidence to represent a company in front of customers. The successful candidate will own WingXpand's operations and operator training programs across our air, ground, and maritime robots while supporting customer demonstrations, industry events, and proposal development. This position works directly with military and public safety customers and with WingXpand's engineering team and founders.

Principal Software Engineer, Robotics

Three robots, one autonomy stack. Our backpackable smart plane drone, unmanned ground vehicle, and unmanned surface vessel all run the same xPAIR robotic core, which means the autonomy you write has to hold up in the air, on the ground, and on the water — with payloads and detections moving between vehicles rather than being re-integrated for each one. Most autonomy roles are one airframe in one domain. This isn't. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Robotics) to own significant parts of that core. Hands-on individual contributor with an architecture mandate: you'll decide what belongs in the shared core and what stays vehicle-specific, where the open-source flight stack ends and our own code begins, and how the interfaces hold as we add systems. Then you'll write the hard parts yourself. Code you write today is on a vehicle testing in the field tomorrow. Small team, no layer between you and the founders, no queue to get a decision made. If you've built autonomy for vehicles that actually fly or drive, you'll be at home here. We're also happy to talk to a strong engineer from an adjacent field that's excited to build robotics. If you've spent your career writing C++ for physical machines, whether that's industrial control, automotive, medical devices, or real-time embedded, let's connect.
