About Us
We are a seed-stage Swiss startup building a new kind of safety system for aviation. Our patented technology uses advanced optical sensing and data processing.
The aim is simple: make flights safer, reduce costs for airlines, and support more sustainable operations.
We are moving from lab validation to our first prototypes. To get there, we need a CTO with technical expertise who can drive our R&D efforts.
We have started the incorporation process, and we have support from Innosuisse and Fongit.
Tasks:
As CTO, you will lead all technical aspects of development — from concept to certification. You will:
- Oversee system architecture, sensor integration, and testing.
- Lead prototype development in optics, mechanics, and data processing.
- Define safety and certification requirements with EASA/FAA and OEM partners.
- Build and guide our prospective engineering team as we move from lab validation to flight testing.
- At this stage, you will work hands-on, side-by-side with the founders to bring the prototype to life.
- Management skills are important, but at this stage you will have to do the hard work yourself.
Requirements:
- Solid optics expertise preferably with LiDAR experience.
- Degree in aerospace engineering, optics, or physics, ideally with experience in avionics or sensing systems.
- Proven experience in hardware prototyping or productization of optical/mechanical systems.
- Practical mindset — comfortable working on both design and implementation.
- Based in Switzerland or open to relocation.
Really nice to have:
- Understanding of certification processes (DO-160, DO-178, or equivalent).
- Interest in system safety, atmospheric physics, or flight dynamics.
Benefits:
- A decisive role in a high-impact aviation startup.
- Freedom to shape both the technology and the team.
-Collaboration with a small, skilled group of engineers and researchers.
- The opportunity to bring a first-of-its-kind sensing system into commercial aviation.
- Equity participation plans
