Jobs at Haast Autonomous

Own avionics and flight systems for autonomous fixed-wing VTOL aircraft, including autopilot configuration, sensor and telemetry integration, wiring, power distribution, failsafes, flight-log analysis, simulation workflows, and flight-test preparation. Diagnose hardware and aircraft-behavior issues, document system changes, and collaborate with engineering teams to improve reliability and scalability.

Build and maintain a React/TypeScript operations portal and Supabase/PostgreSQL backend for autonomous aircraft medical logistics. Improve aircraft allocation, mission generation, telemetry ingestion, live dashboards, reliability, testing, logging, and observability. Integrate Python services with ArduPilot aircraft and simulations while collaborating with autonomy and simulation engineers to mature real-flight and digital-twin systems.

Designs, prototypes, and improves mechanical aircraft systems including structures, payload bays, mounts, fixtures, and landing gear. Owns CAD, drawings, BOMs, packaging, manufacturing documentation, and rapid fabrication. Builds and tests hardware using 3D printing, composites, foam, and carbon fiber, while supporting aircraft assembly, inspections, repairs, and flight testing. Collaborates with avionics and controls engineers to improve aircraft usability, serviceability, repeatability, and customer-focused performance.

Supports the design, prototyping, assembly, testing, repair, simulation, and flight testing of autonomous aircraft. Interns may work across airframe and mechanical design, avionics, controls, manufacturing, and data review while owning a project that improves aircraft development.
