Day to day, you'll manage schedules and calendars, coordinate meetings, travel, and events, while assisting with a variety of tasks. You'll handle confidential information with discretion and act as a connector across the global business, helping information and priorities flow smoothly in both directions.

- A track record of supporting others in a way that builds trust and makes their day-to-day easier, whether that was a team, a customer, a unit, or a project

- Ability to juggle competing priorities, calendars, logistics, travel, deadlines, across different time zones
- Willingness to go the extra mile and be flexible with working hours when necessary
- A natural instinct for anticipating what people need before they ask, and the initiative to just get things done; you own the outcome, not just the task

What We Do
At Auterion we care about providing enterprise with an ecosystem of software-defined drones, payloads, and third party applications within a single easy to use platform based on open-source standards. We’re leaders in an open-source movement bigger than ourselves and we’ve been on the same mission for over a decade, since our co-founder Lorenz Meier created Pixhawk, MAVLink, QGC, and PX4 (the world’s most widely used open-source drone autopilot operating system). Our mission is to be the drone platform of choice for enterprise, government, and drone manufacturers while accelerating the drone industry by driving forward open standards to create a common, future-proof roadmap in a thriving, open ecosystem of buyers and vendors. At Auterion, we bring together the sharpest minds who love to solve the hardest problems. Join a vibrant team built on innovation, openness, and excellence, where you’ll be empowered to develop ideas, collaborate across all levels, and make an impact that matters.
