Product Manager (Autonomous Navigation Systems)

Product Manager (Autonomous Navigation Systems)

About us:

Daedalean is a Zürich-based startup founded by experienced engineers who want to completely revolutionize air travel within the next decade. We combine computer vision, deep learning, and robotics to develop full “level-5” autonomy for flying vehicles.

Autonomy in aviation involves varying levels of task automation and onboard decision-making authority, with gradually decreasing human oversight. It represents a spectrum of capabilities that evolve over time, where robotic systems increasingly take over tasks traditionally performed by human pilots and air traffic controllers.

Your role:

To drive the roadmap for integrating novel guidance, navigation and control systems into the national airspace and to develop the roadmap for decision-making frameworks to incrementally elevate autonomy.
