AI-powered autonomous systems for airport logistics and ground operations
AeroVect builds autonomous driving and robotic systems for airport operations, with a tech stack combining robotics primitives (ROS 2, CUDA, LiDAR) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes). The company is heavily engineering-focused (113 of 131 roles), with concentrated hiring in senior and staff-level positions—typical of autonomous vehicle teams scaling safety-critical perception and planning systems. Active projects span safety case development, object detection model training, and deterministic secondary perception, while pain points center on functional safety validation, system reliability, and platform scaling.

AeroVect develops autonomous vehicle and robotics solutions for airport ground operations. Founded in 2020 and based in South San Francisco, the company serves airlines and airports with AI-powered logistics automation—specifically autonomous airside driving (taxiway and apron operations) and baggage handling workflows. The engineering organization is distributed across North America and Europe (hiring in seven countries including Germany, Poland, and Canada), reflecting both R&D depth and operational scaling. The product appears structured around autonomous platform infrastructure, perception (2D/3D object detection), and safety validation systems required for deployment in safety-critical airport environments.
AeroVect uses Python, C++, ROS 2, CUDA, and LiDAR for autonomous systems development. Infrastructure runs on AWS with Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes for orchestration, and CI/CD via Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
AeroVect is developing autonomous airside driving systems and airport logistics automation. Active projects include safety case development for autonomous vehicles, object detection model training, autonomous driving platform infrastructure, and v&v of safety-critical system architectures.
