Who You Are

You’re the kind of engineer who doesn’t just accept the laws of physics—you challenge them. You’ve got a sharp mind for aerodynamics, a hands-on approach to problem-solving, and a constant itch to improve what others call “good enough.” You thrive in environments where innovation happens fast and collaboration is key. You love turning complex problems into elegant solutions, and you're just as comfortable running simulations as you are rolling up your sleeves in the lab. You take ownership, ask bold questions, and stay curious—always pushing to make drones that are not just functional, but exceptional.
