UAV Pilot

Hiring across Andhra Pradesh

About Airbound

Our mission is making roads optional. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.

Today drone delivery costs ₹100/km. We're bringing that down to 10 paise. That's not an upgrade. It's a complete rebuild from scratch, using the world's first blended-wing-body VTOL aircraft built from carbon fiber.

We need people who believe in the impossible and want to do the work to get there.

About Flight Ops

Operations is the backbone of Airbound. We plan and run every flight, own the data that comes out of it, and use that data to make the next flight better.

We work across engineering, logistics, and client teams. Decisions are guided by flight logs and cost metrics, not gut instinct. The question we ask every day: how do we deliver better, faster, and cheaper

Where a UAV PILOT comes into the picture

At Airbound, a UAV Pilot plays a critical role in executing and scaling drone delivery missions.
