VP of Technical Development

Want to lead a team that disrupts last-mile logistics using autonomous drones?

We usually respond within a month

Aviant makes drone delivery a reality. After starting in the labs at MIT in 2020, we have signed ten commercial contracts in Scandinavia, flown over 2,500 flights covering more than 35,000 km, built a robust team of 20 people, launched Kyte, one of two live European drone delivery services, and managed to take a leading position in the European drone market. Due to solid commercial traction, we are now looking to expand our team.

We’re looking for an ambitious VP of Technical Development who can take our technical team to the next level. The position is an approximately 50/50 split between leadership and technical development. If you have a passion for efficiency and a drive to make a difference, this position will allow you to play an important role in making fast and environmentally friendly drone transportation available to the public.

As our VP of Technical Development, you will be responsible for:

  • Developing the company strategy in cooperation with the rest of the leadership team
  • Planning and leading technical development according to the company strategy
  • High-quality hands-on technical development
  • Managing the technical team; developing internal talent and hiring new talent
  • Providing technical leadership and guidance to the entire company

These are some examples of successful results during your first 100 days on the job:

  • A measurable improvement in a new version of our delivery drone
  • Good reviews from the technical team you’re managing
  • Actionable and valuable feedback on the technical aspects of our company strategy

We are looking for:

  • Proven experience as a technical VP or in a similar role
  • Exceptional technical skills, ideally from experience as a senior engineer
  • Experience with scaling an engineering team, ideally in a scale-up environment
  • Experience with developing and maintaining hardware products
  • Ability to prioritize effectively, focusing our technical efforts on what matters most
  • Ambition and dedication to making a difference in the world

If you are excited about leading a team that disrupts last-mile logistics using autonomous drones, we’d love to hear from you!

We have a running application deadline for this position and will evaluate candidates as they apply.
