AeroVect Tech Stack

AI-powered autonomous vehicles for airport ground operations

Airlines and Aviation South San Francisco, California 51–200 employees Founded 2020 Privately Held

AeroVect builds safety-critical autonomous driving systems for airport logistics—baggage tugs, cargo handlers, and ground support equipment. The tech stack is heavily robotics-native (ROS, ROS 2, LiDAR, GNSS, ORB-SLAM3, CUDA on Jetson hardware) paired with formal safety tooling (DOORS, Polarion, FMEA), reflecting the regulatory rigor required for autonomous airside operations. Hiring is engineering-dominant (91 of 126 roles) and senior-biased (64 senior+ roles), with active recruitment across Europe and North America—a pattern consistent with scaling hardware validation and safety certification in a competitive talent market.

About AeroVect

AeroVect designs autonomous ground support equipment for airports and airlines. The company operates across three core technical areas: localization and perception (LiDAR, GNSS, visual SLAM), autonomous driving stack (ROS-based motion planning and vehicle control), and safety assurance (V&V pipelines, safety case documentation). The product targets operational inefficiencies in ground handling—a labor-intensive, low-margin segment at major airports. Founded in 2020 and based in South San Francisco, the company spans 51–200 employees with distributed engineering across the US, Europe, and Canada.
