What Maria Does
Flight Software Engineer
Maria's work at SkyRyse combines her interests in programming, embedded systems, and robotics. She can usually be found writing core flight software which reflects SkyRyse’s uncompromising concern for safety. Maria is curious with a passion for learning, so she enjoys the challenge of tackling unsolved problems—and gets a chance to do so every day at SkyRyse.
“I chose to work at SkyRyse because I wanted to work in a startup environment and I wanted to work for one of the first companies trying to solve the problem of autonomous flight.”
“Something that everybody here has in common is the fact that we're all excited about what the company is doing. We're all excited to work on challenging problems—we're not afraid of difficult work.”
