Mechatronics Engineer

About Wing

Wing develops drone delivery as a safer, quicker, and more sustainable approach to last-mile logistics. As demand for instant delivery grows, traditional methods can be slow, expensive, and tied to road congestion and pollution. Wing designs, builds, and runs its own aircraft and provides drone delivery services across two continents. The platform is built to plug into existing delivery and logistics systems, making it adaptable for a wide range of businesses. Wing is part of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and its goal is to become the world’s preferred delivery method.
