Controls Software Engineer

About Aereo: Aereo (Formerly Aarav Unmanned Systems) is India's leading drone solution startup in the commercial segment. We provide end-to-end solutions to enterprises in the field of mining, urban planning, infrastructure, irrigation, agriculture, and energy. As early starters and market leaders in the Indian drone industry, our belief is to solve real problems and utilize drone technology as a revolution. Our strength lies in our perseverance, clarity, collaborative approach, and our dedicated team. We are funded by some of the known early-stage Indian VCs in our growth journey. However, our business is already self-sustainable and growing rapidly. At Aereo, we have a passion for machines, especially aerial robots, and firmly believe that drones are shaping the future of the world. We are actively seeking self-driven and process-oriented individuals to join Team AUS in this exciting growth journey and become early contributors to the drone ecosystem of the country, which is expanding at a fast pace.
