Careers

We are building the team.

Empyrean Aerospace and the OEMs we license are both hiring engineers. If you want to work on energy-independent flight, we would like to hear from you.

Who we are looking for

Engineers who want to put solar flight on real aircraft.

SkySail is an integration problem as much as a physics one. The people who do well here are comfortable working across disciplines and against the constraints of platforms already in service.

Aerospace and UAV systems

Aerodynamics, structures, flight control and systems integration on fixed-wing, VTOL and lighter-than-air platforms.

Power and energy

Photovoltaics, power electronics, battery management and energy modelling for airborne and ground-based harvesting.

Software and autonomy

Onboard power management, mission planning, edge compute and the data layer that sits above the fleet.

Two routes in

Join us, or join a partner.

Empyrean Aerospace. Core engineering on the SkySail IP: the sail, the power management system and the integration kits that adapt it to each host platform.

Our OEM licensees. The manufacturers building SkySail into their own aircraft need engineers who understand the system. We introduce qualified candidates directly to partner programmes.

Tell us what you have worked on and which route interests you. We read every message and reply to all of them.
