Show job description
Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scaleup with a global and international team of 125+ dedicated Wingtranauts who want to see their actions have a positive and lasting impact on the world. Founded more than 8 years ago at ETH Zurich, Europe’s leading robotics university, our goal is to build the best aerial robots to digitize the world at the push of a button and set the basis for faster and better decisions. Wingtra provides efficient and reliable data solutions to a variety of industries ranging from mining, construction and agriculture to humanitarian organizations, environmentalists and wildlife monitoring groups.

We are reaching for the stars and together we might just get there. Open communication, asking hard questions and valuing diverse viewpoints are but a few things that will help us achieve our goals. Above all we will never stop learning and striving to help each other reach our maximum potential.

Now we need someone to help decide what we build next. You’ll own the priorities for our data capture platform, from the aircraft to the sensors they carry. You’ll work side by side with customers in the field, Wingtra engineers and Wingtranauts across all business functions. Your job is to find the problems that matter most to our customers and turn good ideas into products people love. Inside Wingtra you’re the voice of the user. Outside you’re the voice of the product.

Responsibilities

  • Know your customers. You spend time with survey and mapping teams in the field. You learn how they work, how they buy, what else they could use and what they still can’t do.

  • Set the priorities. You weigh customer value, market opportunity, development effort, price and margin. Then you make a clear call on what comes next.

  • Test ideas early. You try them with customers and engineers, learn fast and adjust.

  • Shape the product development. You steer the capture platform: aircraft, sensors, workflows and data deliverables. You make the performance, reliability and usability trade-offs together with engineering.

  • Take it to market. You launch with Product Marketing, Sales, Support and partners and explain why the product matters. After launch you stay close to field results and keep supporting the product through its lifecycle.

  • Follow the outcomes. You track customer outcomes, usage and commercial results. You use what you learn to pick the next problem to solve with the team.

  • Requirements

  • You have a taste for great products and a relentless drive to understand what makes users love them.

  • You make things happen. You act like an owner and hold yourself accountable to outcomes not output. You care primarily about happy customers and a successful business.
    You bring people with you. You listen closely, speak clearly and earn trust with customers and engineers, including when you disagree.

  • You find a way forward. You are very comfortable with ambiguity. You work constructively with people and constraints, know when to push and when to adapt.

  • You’ve spent 3+ years developing or deploying hardware products and their software workflows, with clear ownership of product, operational or commercial results.

  • You have a technical background in engineering, geospatial or another technical field.

  • You’re commercially fluent. You read a pricing model, channel margin or renewal term and see why the business cares.

  • You’re fluent in English and happy to travel regularly to customers and partners in the US and Europe.

  • Plus

  • You’ve founded a relevant business of your own, led surveying or drone operations, or built products for geospatial customers.

  • You have hands-on experience with photogrammetry, LiDAR or bringing a commercial robotics product to market.

  • If you enjoy teamwork more than being the individual superhero, and if you thrive in a feedback-driven culture and an exciting, unconventional yet structured and progressive start-up environment, we would love to hear from you.
