DroneSeed is bringing tree-planting drones, remote-sensing data, and predictive analytics to the forestry industry. We're building a fleet of 15 drones to fly over forested areas and fire seed capsules into the ground with pneumatics. It's pretty cool. We're a 4-person TechStars company in Seattle right now, we've got our first customers, and we're looking to hire in two positions.

We're looking for a Co-Founder CTO. Ideal candidate will have experience working with either GIS and Image processing, or UAV flight planning, as well as working with large data sets. Capable of leading a team, the candidate will be designing backend architecture, can estimate hours and evaluate talent. You're keen to provide the software element to our hardware and business skills. Helpful but not required experience includes: ArcGIS or QGIS, PixHawk, Pix4d, AgDrone, Python, Q Ground Control, ArduPilot, Python. https://angel.co/droneseed/jobs/115308-cofounder-cto-drone-s...

UAV Mission Planner: This position will be charged with owning the software stack to allow 15 drones to be pre-programmed on how to plant tree seeds, where to go, and how to land autonomously. You have 1-4 years experience working writing code for mission planning software. https://angel.co/droneseed/jobs/114965-software-engineer-uav...

If you're motivated by the problem, equity, and are comfortable working at a fast pace in an aspiring startup in a prestigious accelerator (TechStars Seattle), we would love to talk. Candidate should consider moving to Seattle for 1-4 months. (Housing may be provided depending upon need.)
