Job Description

Want to become an innovator?

Join us at the forefront of robotics to promote a new generation of drones -- capable not just of flying, but of physically interacting with the world. At Voliro, we're building Physical AI: intelligent flying robots that can sense, adapt, and act in the real world -- unlocking safer and more efficient inspection and maintenance in complex industrial environments.

Following the release of our first product in 2022 and achieving product-market fit in 2023, we're now entering a high-growth phase. Voliro is backed by Cherry Ventures, one of Europe's leading early-stage investors and by noa, a fast-rising VC firm focused on early-stage industrial and deeptech startups with global potential.



With this strong support and fresh capital, we are scaling rapidly -- building our global presence in North America and Europe and doubling down on delivering an exceptional customer experience.
