Business Development, Defense sector | USA

At Embention, we have been driven since 2007 by a clear mission: Enabling drones to populate our skies.

We provide over 700 customers across 70 countries with safety-critical avionics and high-performance components, for advanced air mobility (AAM) including UAVs, drones, and eVTOL aircraft, all developed in compliance with the highest aeronautical certification standards (DO178C, DO254, STANAG, etc.).

Our technology supports a wide range of programs, from defense and security applications to urban air mobility, cargo transport, and even space-related recovery projects.

The core of Embention is our R&D organization, with more than 100 engineers across multiple disciplines. Together with the rest of the team, we are a global organization of 175+ professionals aligned around one mission.

Today, Embention has a strong presence in Spain, a growing local team in Los Angeles (USA), and a high-tech production facility in Abu Dhabi (UAE).

As part of our strategic growth, we are now strengthening our footprint in the United States.

If you have a strategic mindset, Business Development experience in the defence industry, and feel aligned with our mission, we would love to meet you.
