Summary: 

Indemnis is looking for a well-qualified embedded systems developer to join our high-flying team. The right individual is needed to help finish development, maintain code base, and incorporate new features for a very exciting new product category. Your work will include some pretty cool tests in some pretty outrageous environments. 

Indemnis, Inc. is focused on making safe, regulated commercial flight over people possible. We have created the only reliable and proven drone failsafe recovery systems on the market and they are designed for all commercial-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Nexus by Indemnis, is a line of ballistic parachute launchers that are customized for various platforms. The Nexus deploys a parachute in under 30 milliseconds using an inflatable high strength tube. The tube inflates and remains rigid, moving the attachment point of the parachute away from the control surfaces on the UAV and preventing entanglement during a failure.  

We are a fully funded startup company disrupting the UAV technology sector. We are moving from research and development to manufacturing stage and looking for the right ideas, talent, and energy to help us grow along the way.
