About Us

Flyward is a cutting-edge tech company pioneering the future of air travel. Based in Silicon Valley, our mission is to revolutionize urban mobility with autonomous, intelligent aerial vehicles. We’re a team of brilliant minds, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology and shaping the future of aviation. Join us and be part of this exciting journey.

Position: 3D GIS Engineer

As a 3D GIS Engineer, you’ll be a key player in developing our efficient 3D airspace visualization and management system. You’ll wear two hats – front-end and back-end developer – crafting an interactive 3D interface and building robust data processing features on the back-end. This role requires a strong foundation in GIS and full-stack development skills, allowing you to independently handle everything from user-facing interfaces to backend data crunching.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supercharge our 3D GIS Interface: Leverage CesiumJS to optimize core features like 3D airspace division, 4D flight trajectories, and flight animations, taking our visualization capabilities to the next level.
  • Design for Delight: Craft a user-friendly and visually appealing interface that empowers users with real-time editing and manipulation of airspace data.
  • Back-End Architect: Lead the back-end system architecture, integrating 3D grid logic, terrain data processing, and real-time interaction functionalities for a seamless user experience.
  • Data Powerhouse: Design and implement databases and API calls for handling massive 2D/3D/DEM maps, ensuring efficient display and smooth performance.
  • Data Management Master: Be responsible for acquiring and managing aviation data – airspace, flight paths, point clouds, etc.
  • Feature Expansion: Gradually add advanced features like weather effects, data recording, and analysis report export based on project needs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, GIS, Geographic Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 1 year of experience in both GIS front-end and back-end development.
  • Proficiency in frameworks like CesiumJS, Three.js, Mapbox GL JS, Babylon.js, Deck.gl, or Unity3D WebGL for 3D visualization and scene development.
  • Full-stack development skills with fluency in JavaScript, Python, or C++, allowing you to independently handle front-end and back-end tasks. Strong foundation in algorithms and data structures is a must.
  • Familiarity with GIS tools like GDAL, QGIS, or ArcGIS for geospatial data processing.
  • Experience building user interfaces for complex interactions and handling large datasets is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in front-end UI design and optimization to create intuitive and responsive interfaces.
  • Knowledge of spatial data analysis and processing techniques to tackle multi-dimensional geospatial data effectively.
  • Familiarity with integrating and applying large language models (LLMs), multimodal large models, and situational analysis algorithms.
  • Understanding of geospatial data formats (GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile), coordinate systems, map cartography principles, spatial data processing, and map projection techniques.
  • Experience with 3D modeling and rendering tools (Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, Maya) is a plus.
  • Background in drone or robot simulation testing using platforms like Gazebo, AirSim, V-REP, or similar.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and profit-sharing opportunities.
  • Flexible working hours with remote work options, attracting global talent.
  • Be a part of cutting-edge technology research and development, pushing the boundaries of air mobility.
  • Enjoy a supportive environment that fosters personal and professional growth with continuous learning opportunities.

Work Location:

We accept 100% remote work. Work from any location and at any time.
