eVTOL and fixed-wing drone manufacturer for medical and logistics delivery
Wingcopter manufactures hybrid vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft for autonomous delivery, with a 150-person team split between hardware (airframe, battery systems, flight test) and cloud infrastructure. The tech stack reveals a DevOps-heavy operation: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible, and Azure cloud-native services dominate, paired with embedded C/C++ and DroneCAN for aircraft control. Active hiring skews toward engineering and manufacturing leadership—Flight Test Lead, Industrialization Lead, Composite Production Lead—signaling a transition from prototype to production, with concurrent investment in CI/CD, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code to reduce cloud costs and scale.

Wingcopter designs and manufactures eVTOL aircraft optimized for last-mile delivery of medical supplies, packages, food, and spare parts. The Wingcopter 198 combines vertical takeoff capability with fixed-wing efficiency through a patented tilt-rotor mechanism. The company operates across three parallel work streams: aircraft design and certification (CATIA for CAD, flight test validation), embedded systems (C/C++, DroneCAN, battery development), and cloud operations (Azure Kubernetes Service, Terraform automation, Prometheus monitoring). Based in Germany with 51–200 employees, Wingcopter targets humanitarian applications and commercial supply-chain optimization.
Wingcopter's stack spans embedded (C/C++, DroneCAN, CMake), DevOps (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes), cloud (Azure AKS, Functions, VMs, Monitor), and CAD (CATIA). They also use SAP for enterprise operations.
Core projects include CI/CD pipeline development, scalable Azure infrastructure, Terraform/Ansible automation, product certification flight testing, and UAV battery system design and certification.
