About the Company

We believe in the power and importance of infrastructure. Every few decades a major inflection point in the world’s infrastructure progresses humanity forward.

As a high growth software and datap based out of Detroit, offering Hybrid and fully Remote work options, we focus on creating a place where people of all different backgrounds can thrive as engineers, data scientists, creative thinkers, and passionate innovators. Our vision is to create a world where the safe integration of drones fuels human progress, advancing social equity, the environment, and the economy.

    • This role could include tasks such as designing the prompt flow for allowing users to archive or delete data, laying out a new chart to conceptualize time series data, building an interface to export the results of a bit of data analysis, etc. 
    • Collaborating with one other Product Designer and the overall Product team to ensure successful deliverables. 


Qualifications and Skills: 


    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Design, or related field, or equivalent years of experience or related education
