Rotor is a startup based in the Boston area that is changing how aircraft are piloted.
Our team has built flight controls, communications, and robotics technology that makes helicopter flight safer and more autonomous. Rotor’s CloudPilot system enables safe operations at night and in low visibility conditions and prevents accidents caused by pilot disorientation and human error.
We’re a 40+ person team that successfully flew our first prototype autonomous helicopter in 2022 and are currently developing a production vehicle, the R550X, that can carry over 1,200 lbs of payload for over 3 hours. The R550X will be deployed commercially in 2024 to fight wildfires and perform critical missions in dull, dirty, and dangerous environments without putting pilot lives at risk.
We raised new capital in 2023, and are growing quickly - come join us!
We’re a high-performance team, the majority of which works at our Nashua, NH, about 50 minutes north of Boston / Cambridge. Rotor provides free on-site accommodation and catering for all employees at a 3-acre university-style campus, which includes a 15,000 sqft prototyping facility as well as offices, recreational space, and dormitories. Rotor provides full health benefits, free helicopter flight training, and generous stock option grants.
We’re looking for folks who are passionate about technology and who believe in Rotor’s mission. Rotor values honesty and integrity and is committed to advancing gender diversity and the inclusion of women in tech and aerospace.
Respond to an open position by emailing [email protected] with your CV. If you don’t see an open position that fits your skillset, but you still think you’re a great fit for our mission, you may submit a general application with a cover letter.
All applicants should specify potential join date and attach materials (pictures, website, code — any format is fine) from a project that you’ve worked on that you are proud of.
Rotor offers internship positions on a rolling basis. Engineering candidates must be in their final year of study either undergraduate or graduate. Rotor is currently seeking an intern candidate interested in joining our Software Infrastructure team! Intern candidates should send their resume to [email protected].
