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. About the role: Skydio's mechanical systems are the backbone of reliable autonomous flight. Our aircraft demand world-class engineering, rigorous attention to detail, and disciplined design tradeoffs in pursuit of simplicity and performance. In this role, you will architect, analyze, and refine structural solutions that enable high-performance autonomous flight and ensure fleet durability at scale. In flying robotics, mass and vibration are critical-your expertise in structural analysis and materials will directly shape flight time, dynamics, and overall system reliability. How you'll make an impact: * Play a key role in the design of Skydio aircraft by concepting, designing, and optimizing components with critical structural and mechanical considerations. * Conduct a broad range of structural analyses, including linear and nonlinear static stress, modal, vibration, and shock to ensure durability and flight readiness under neutral and operational loads. * Develop, mesh, and analyze detailed Finite Element Models (FEMs) of vehicle airframes, subsystems, and payload mounts using industry-standard tools (e.g., NASTRAN, FEMAP, ANSYS, Abaqus, HyperMesh). * Interpret and document analysis results, identify potential failure modes, and recommend design improvements to optimize mass, stiffness, and manufacturability. * Design and execute lab experiments to test and validate * Be hands-on: design, instrument, and execute physical tests to validate and correlate FEA models, driving higher confidence in structural performance and design decisions. * Design and analyze structures for drones and ground support hardware-such as fuselage frames, gimbals, mounting brackets, and enclosures-using a variety of materials such as plastics, metals, and composites. * Select and evaluate materials, manufacturing processes, and joining methods (e.g. fasteners, snaps, adhesives) balancing weight, strength, manufacturability, cost, and environmental factors. * Collaborate closely with design, test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to ensure structural feasibility, reliability, and quality of production hardware. * Partner with the Autonomy team to ensure the aircraft design continues to enable industry leading computer vision and obstacle avoidance. What makes you a good fit: * 5+ years of prior product development experience with a proven track record of execution, enthusiasm, and collaboration. * Detailed structural analysis (FEA) of complex mechanical systems (preferably aerospace structures) using tools like NASTRAN, FEMAP, ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar. * Structural hardware design, material selection (metals, composites), fabrication support, and/or structural testing (static/dynamic) for high-performance applications. * Familiarity with stuff that flies highly desirable, but not required. * Proficiency with at least one major FEA software package (NASTRAN preferred). * Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA) for model review and basic geometry manipulation. * Understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and structural testing methodologies. * Hands-on experience in planning, executing, and correlating structural tests (static, vibration, acoustic, shock). * Bachelor's degree or higher in aerospace or mechanical engineering or equivalent with demonstrated academic excellence. * Ability to apply analytical problem solving skills and engineering fundamentals to create high-quality designs for a sophisticated vehicle system. * A strategic mind across the full design, source, build, validate, and ship process. Proven ability to make considered decisions at various stages. Compensation: At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full-time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.

From utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios and beyond. About the role: Skydio's mission is to make the world safer and more efficient through autonomous drones. Public safety and critical infrastructure customers rely on Drone as First Responder (DFR) to get eyes on scene in seconds and coordinate effective responses. As a full stack intern on the DFR team, you will help build workflows that span across the stack to enable responders to focus on what matters most. The DFR team spans the whole Skydio Cloud stack, from React and Relay for live operations and map‑centric UIs to backend services for incident workflows and integrations with public safety systems like CAD (computer aided dispatch) and evidence management platforms. We build in TypeScript on the frontend and collaborate closely with backend services (commonly Go and Python). As an intern, you'll gain hands-on experience across the stack, collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver meaningful features and learn what it takes to ship production software. How you'll make an impact * Design and implement operator-facing features that help first responders coordinate incidents and make faster, safer decisions. * Leverage curiosity, technical skill, and a collaborative mindset to help make the world more productive, creative, and safe with autonomous drones. * Collaborate across functions (product managers, designers, engineers, and support) to deliver high‑quality, impactful features to customers. Project examples * Build operator‑facing features used daily in Drone as First Responder (DFR) to enhance existing capabilities and enable new workflows on Skydio Cloud. * Create real‑time UI for live video and relaying telemetry data from the drone. * Implement map‑centric interactions for placing and managing incident markers (911 calls) with clear affordances and undo/redo. * Ship pre‑merge end‑to‑end tests for critical user journeys to prevent regressions and increase release confidence. What makes you a good fit * Solid software engineering foundation and a commitment to writing clean, well‑architected code. * Junior, senior, or MS-level student with meaningful project or internship experience developing modern web applications that connect to backend APIs and data systems. * Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and collaborating within a fast‑paced team environment. * Experience in modern web development (React, TypeScript, GraphQL, WebGL/Three.js). * Experience building and maintaining scalable APIs, services, and integrations for handling large datasets. * Bonus: familiarity with robotics software development concepts. Compensation Range: The hourly rate for this position is $47/hr for Undergrad, $53/hr for Graduate students, and $58 for PhD students*. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. * For some positions the pay may be dependent upon the individual's regional location. #LI-ZD1 At Skydio we believe that diversity drives innovation.
