#Join us in enabling drones to populate our skies

At Embention we have been on a clear mission for over sixteen years, enabling drones to populate our skies. 

We provide our more than 600 customers in 70 countries with the development of avionics, critical components and high performance software for their professional UAS (UAVs, drones, eVTOLs...) according to aeronautical certification standards. 

The projects that our engineers carry out are very varied, from urban aerial mobility, through freight transport to space rocket recovery projects. 

The core of our company lies in our R&D team made up of more than 100 engineers with multiple specialities who, together with the rest of the team, form a total of 150 professionals with the same objective. 

Due to our IPO and the interest of the market, we are looking to expand our most important resource, the human resource. We open the doors to a new partner for our legal team.
