Security Software Engineer

Overview

Airspace Experience Technologies (ASX: iflyasx.com) is a startup founded in 2017 with a mission to advance mobility for the mass traveling public by repurposing automotive electric vehicle technologies, safety systems, and mass production techniques. ASX has been awarded multiple patents and DoD/State contracts for our heavy lift electric VTOL platform and AeroNet UTM product.

Our goal in developing our AeroNet advanced mobility devices and AeroNet UTM back office is to create an international practice for enhanced mobility management with a web-based Common Operation Picture (COP). This platform gives municipalities and infrastructure operators the tools to license, authenticate, monitor, and facilitate collision avoidance for connected vehicles on the ground and in the air. Our ultimate objective is to integrate automated systems at scale using international standards while improving safety, security, and efficiency of automated robotic systems within the "public square."

Were seeking talented individuals with a passion for connected intelligent mobility to join our limited number of technical positions.
