The role
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 https://www.skydio.com/solutions/energy-and-utilities to first responders https://www.skydio.com/solutions/public-safety, soldiers in battlefield scenarios https://www.skydio.com/solutions/national-security/tactical-isr, and beyond https://www.skydio.com/solutions. About the Role: We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer who thinks like a product engineer — someone who doesn't just write code, but understands why it matters to the operator holding the controller. You'll work at the intersection of Skydio's autonomous flight engine, connected cloud services, and physical controller hardware to build products that give drone operators superpowers. From dispatch-to-flight workflows to real-time situational awareness to mission planning, you'll shape how people interact with the most advanced autonomous drones in the world. This isn't just mobile development — it's building the command interface for a new category of intelligent machine. About the Team: The Edge Experience team owns the full pilot experience on Skydio's controllers — from the radio link and video streaming pipeline all the way up to the product interfaces that operators rely on in the field. We believe in shipping incrementally, automating the critical path, and measuring what matters. Every feature we build touches real hardware, real airspace, and real missions — and we hold ourselves to the standard that our software must be reliable, performant, and intuitive enough for high-stress, high-stakes operation. How You’ll Make an Impact: - Design intuitive, high-performance operator interfaces for real-time
