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 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, with a clear focus on the Defense sector.
If you have a strong background in simulation, a solid foundation in physics and control systems, and you’re motivated to see your models validated in real flight systems, we’d love to meet you.
