About the job
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most.

With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we’re now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
