AvionicsLeadership

About the role

Navi is already deployed at major flight schools across the country, and every one of them wants more - dashboards, tools, the workflow features that make their day run better.
You don't bring a playbook; you reason from the actual situation and believe any problem can be figured out.

Build the dashboards, tools, and features they're asking for, and ship them fast
Gather field intelligence - user feedback, edge cases, performance data, workflow observations - and bring it back to product and engineering in a way that drives action
You learn a domain fast and can smoothly own talking to a chief instructor one hour and debugging at your desk the next

You have the run-through-walls grit of a founder, the technical bar of a real engineer, and genuine curiosity about how a flight school runs - because that's where the best features come from.

Familiarity with aviation systems, flight schools, avionics, or defense operations
Pilot certificate or flight training experience
Experience working on military installations, flight schools, or in DoW environments
Flight training - earn your pilot's license and work with true domain expertise
Impact you can see - work directly with pilots, instructors, and military operators using what you deployed
A role that scales into field operations leadership as we grow
We don't wait for permission or perfect information.
Ideas come from anywhere regardless of title.
