Elroy Air develops the Chaparral, an autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL cargo aircraft carrying 200–500 lbs up to ~300 miles, with swappable external pods, onboard sensing/compute, autonomous pod pickup/drop.
At Elroy Air, we build autonomous vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) cargo drones to change the way the world moves goods. Transporting cargo by air is faster and more direct than by land or sea, but it has been prohibitively expensive for medium-size loads. We've set out to expand middle-mile logistics possibilities across multiple sectors, with our sights on a $420Bn global total addressable market for cargo logistics across defense, commercial and rapid response. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe that the defense, commercial, and rapid response communities need faster, better logistics solutions. We are seeing increasing demand as customers and prospects respond enthusiastically to the systems we’ve built. As we mature and deploy our offerings, we are looking for people like you: motivated collaborators, enthusiastic about our mission and ready to roll up their sleeves and make a big impact to improve how logistics works around the world. You will play an important role in establishing the Elroy Air Chaparral as the industry standard in this massive market. We believe diverse perspectives at all levels of the organization are critical to innovation and employee development. This includes but is not limited to gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, religion, age, ability, parenthood status, veteran status, educational background, citizenship status, or any combination of these characteristics. Elroy builds autonomous aerospace systems for the real world. The people who deploy, maintain, and operate those systems need software that is clear, fast, and trustworthy under pressure. Our operator tooling team builds the desktop applications, visualization interfaces, and ground support software that bridge the gap between the vehicle and the humans responsible for it. If you care deeply about the operator experience, have strong instincts for software architecture, and aren’t afraid to venture into the embedded or cloud layers when the problem demands it, this role is for you.
