      Sr. Engineer in Flight Control and Guidance, Autel Robotics
(San Ramon, CA)


Born to Explore is the nature of every Auteler. We strive not only to
produce the world's most advanced UAV products to help people explore
the world beyond imagination, but also to create applications based
on AI technologies to make this world a better place!

In less than two years since Autel Robotics' establishment in 2014,
the X-Star, a smart quadcopter integrated with a 4K stabilized camera
and indoor positioning system, has caught the eyes of thousands of
consumers and distributors, especially at CES 2016. The X-Star is a
combination of complex algorithms and advanced engineering delivered
in one concise package, allowing anyone to explore and capture
amazing footage in ultra HD quality.

The Kestrel is another product that made its debut at CES 2016 - a
tilt-rotor UAV that combines the fixed-wing airplane's energy-saving
feature and the copter system's vertical take-off ability. The
Kestrel project was launched in early 2015 and it took the team less
than 8 months to see the aircraft's successful maiden flight. Capable
of flying autonomously over 100 km, the Kestrel can be applied in
many industries including precision agriculture, military
surveillance, emergency response and urban planning.

With our R&D teams in China (Shenzhen), Germany (Munich) and the U.S.
(Silicon Valley), we have gathered a group of industry professionals
with a genuine passion for technology and years of engineering
experience. We are determined to extending humans' reach through
aerial technologies with unlimited curiosity.

We want people with passion and stamina. We want innovators. We want
people who can collaborate and bring us a creative future. Are you
ready to ride with us to explore the world? Are you ready to prosper
while advancing your career? Are you ready to turn all the
impossibilities to reality? Join us and fly with us! Apply now via
