Hardware / Systems Engineer
We have an opening for a hardware / systems engineer and are looking for talented, hard working, innovative candidates interested in working in an early stage company.  We are Y Combinator alumni, venture backed, and growing fast.  Our core product, OverView, has seen over 200x growth in the last year.   If you live to deploy scalable hardware to the field, this job is for you.   You will have primary responsibility for building and maintaining our imagery collection system, which mounts on to the belly of a single engine airplane.  The first version is already flying and generating revenue, but you are going to design the fleet.
