Hylio designs, fabricates, and offers UAS (unmanned aerial systems i.e. “drones”) for the agricultural industry. Our mission is to make farming easier and more successful for our customers.
We are a fast growing technology startup in Richmond, TX focused on developing cutting edge precision agriculture solutions.
We’re seeking team members that are self-motivated, eager to grow with our company, and excited to service our customers.
As a UAS/Mechatronics engineer you will design, prototype, and finalize for production the electromechanical systems that Hylio offers to its customers. Not only does this include the UAS themselves, but auxiliary systems such as telemetry modules, obstacle detection and avoidance modules, ground station computing modules, handheld GIS devices, automatic liquid payload refilling devices, automatic UAS charging stations, sensor gimbal payloads, granular spreader devices, and more. You will work in a dynamic team setting where you will interact with technicians, computer scientists, and other mechanical engineers.
You will be expected to present designs and prototypes in professional review settings with supervising engineering staff. You will also be expected to test fly UAS to verify the validity and functionality of prototyped systems.
Utilize CAD and other engineering software applications to design electromechanical components/systems for Hylio’s product offering
