Electronic Engineer

Company Description:

Paladin deploys autonomous drones to 911 calls. Our first drone, Knighthawk, arrives on the scene of an emergency in under 90 seconds and gives first responders a live overhead view of the scene before they arrive, helping reduce response times and increase situational awareness. Knighthawk is a fully autonomous LTE drone with unlimited range, a 55 minute battery life, and is responding to over 130 calls each week across several cities. Our next product, the EXT, brings autonomy and unlimited cellular range to 3rd party drones, all connected to one common software interface. Over the next decade, our tech will be in every city across the world helping first responders save lives.
