Robotics platform for automated wind turbine inspection and maintenance
Aerones operates a robotized wind turbine maintenance business using remote-controlled systems to perform blade inspections, cleaning, repair, and coating work—eliminating the need for technicians at height. The tech stack (Python, C++, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS/Azure, plus embedded protocols like CANopen and EtherCAT) reveals a hardware-heavy engineering org building both cloud orchestration and real-time robotic control. Hiring is heavily weighted toward operations (34 roles) relative to engineering (14), suggesting the business is scaling service delivery and field execution faster than core platform development.
Aerones provides robotic systems for wind turbine maintenance, targeting renewable energy operators who need safer, more efficient alternatives to manual blade work at height. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Riga, the company has grown to 201–500 employees across Latvia, the US, Romania, France, Poland, and Australia. Core service offerings include conductivity testing, drainage cleaning, external and internal blade inspection, blade and tower cleaning, coating application, and leading-edge repair—all executed remotely. The business operates across three operational axes: robotic system development, field service delivery, and commercial expansion in new regions, particularly APAC.
Python, C++, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS/Azure cloud platforms, Grafana/Prometheus monitoring, plus embedded real-time protocols (CANopen, EtherCAT, Modbus) for robotic control. Recently adopting Claude and Codex for AI-assisted development.
Robotic inspection (external and internal blades), conductivity measurements, drainage hole cleaning, blade and tower cleaning, leading-edge coating application, and blade repair—all performed remotely without technicians at height.
