#Join us in enabling drones to populate our skies



At Embention we have been on a clear mission for over sixteen years, enabling drones to populate our skies. 


We provide our more than 600 customers in 70 countries with the development of avionics, critical components and high performance software for their professional UAS (UAVs, drones, eVTOLs…) according to aeronautical certification standards. 


The projects that our engineers carry out are very varied, from urban aerial mobility, through freight transport to space rocket recovery projects. 


The core of our company lies in our R&D team made up of more than 80 engineers with multiple specialities who, together with the rest of the team, form a total of more than 100 professionals with the same objective.


Due to our IPO and market interest, we are looking to expand our most important resource, the human resource. If you have experience with C++ and feel attracted to our mission we are looking for you.
