Job Offer: Chief of Production Unit - Manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

AerialMetric is a French company that has been operating in Madagascar for more than 12 years.

Originally, AerialMetric used to offer services in aerial topography and design of aeronautical imagery solutions. However, for the past 3 years the company has embraced a new domain of expertise, that is the design and construction of UAV for the transportation of medicines and health products.

A VTOL-based UAV was recently developed for the delivery of NGO’s health products (medicines and diagnostic tests) to remote areas (further than 100KM from the take-off point) in challenging conditions (weather, altitude, absence of cellular coverage, etc.).

# Join us!

Ideally the candidate will be able to demonstrate a true passion for UAV manufacturing and public health or humanitarian work.
