Compensation & Benefits
The People At Unusual Machines, you’ll be joining a growing, close-knit team that’s passionate about drones, headsets, and the future of FPV technology. We’re building new labs, new factories, and new capabilities, all from the ground up. You’ll collaborate directly with engineers, operations, and leadership in an environment where ideas move quickly from concept to production. If you enjoy working alongside people who are builders at heart and excited about solving challenges together, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’ll be instrumental in transforming a blank-slate space into a fully functional, high-yield headset factory, while also shaping the next generation of headset technology.
