IT Support Engineer
Job Summary
Our mission is to make a world where everyone has access to delivery. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.
This is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is 2/km. Thats the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. Were bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where were doing billions of deliveries per day.
The tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is 100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. Were building the worlds most efficient aircraft from the ground-up and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.
To do this we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything theyre working on who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.
