About the role

About Airbound

Our mission is to make a world where everyone has access to delivery. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.

This is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is ₹2/km. That’s the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. We’re bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs, concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where we’re doing billions of deliveries per day.

The tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is ₹100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. We’re building the world’s most efficient aircraft from the ground-up, and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.

To do this, we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different, who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything they’re working on, who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.

Choosing the Hard Problems

Airbound works on problems most people walk away from.

Not because doing hard things is trendy, but because they matter.

We're building a world where goods move as freely as information.

That future depends on changing the physics of delivery.

Today, a small <5kg package is transported by moving far more mass than necessary, a whole 150kg scooter + human being.

It's expensive, inefficient, and fragile. This isn't a logistics problem.

It's a physics one.

Design for the package, and everything around it scales down.

Aircraft get lighter. Energy drops. Cost follows. That's how delivery becomes radically cheaper at scale.

That's what we're building.

The world's first Ultra-light Blended Wing Body VTOL tailsitter aircraft. No wasted mass. Built to fly every day.

This is for engineers who choose hard problems, builders and pilots who see work through, and people who want to build things that last.

If you've built under constraints before, you'll feel at home here.
