Aviant operates a fleet-based drone delivery service across Europe with a hardware-focused stack: PX4 autopilot, C++, MAVLink, and Raspberry Pi for vehicle control, paired with Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS for backend operations. The company is engineering-heavy with concurrent hiring across embedded systems and ops roles, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of scaling autonomous hardware fleets—they're actively managing drone manufacturing, flight controller software, and airworthiness certification while pursuing commercial contracts.
Aviant delivers packages via autonomous drones across European cities, operating commercial contracts since 2021. The company manufactures drones in-house, develops custom flight control software, and manages a growing network of landing and charging infrastructure. Founded in 2020 and based in Trondheim, Norway, the team of 11–50 spans engineering, operations, finance, and sales. Revenue generation comes from per-delivery contracts across multiple customer segments; the business model requires balancing hardware production cycles with regulatory compliance and customer deployment support.
C++ for embedded flight control (PX4), Python for backend services, and React Native for mobile apps. Hardware communication uses MAVLink protocol, UART, I2C, and CAN bus.
