About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes.

We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet.

If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

  • Working knowledge of hands on electrical test equipment including spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes
  • Understanding of electromagnetics including capacitance, inductance, coupling and waves
  • Experience with at least one programming language (ex python or matlab) for analysis and data visualization

This is your chance to:

  • Help develop and test cutting edge avionics which includes wireless connectivity, high speed digital processors, camera sensors and more
  • Experience PCB component qualification, bring-up and test
  • Work with advanced wireless test equipment including spectrum analyzers and high speed oscilloscopes
  • Solve real world problems helping ensure the avionics use the best parts, are reliable and manufacturable
