Brazilian manufacturer of remotely piloted aircraft systems for surveying and infrastructure monitoring
Xmobots designs and manufactures unmanned aerial systems (RPAS/VANT) for large-scale aerial surveys and environmental monitoring across Brazil and the Amazon region. The tech stack—Python, NumPy, pandas, C/C++, embedded systems (STM32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and industrial protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422)—reflects a hardware-software company with mature embedded engineering. Active hiring skews engineering-heavy (9 roles) with notable finance and manufacturing gaps (5 and 3 roles respectively), while pain points cluster around financial modeling, valuation, and supply-chain data integrity—a pattern typical of a manufacturing firm scaling beyond first-generation product operations or preparing for a transaction.
Xmobots is a Brazilian manufacturer of remotely piloted aircraft systems founded in 2007 as a research spinout from the São Paulo University innovation center. The company was the first to receive approval from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) for experimental RPAS flights and has conducted large-scale aerial surveys, including environmental monitoring over the Amazon basin and hydroelectric infrastructure projects spanning thousands of square kilometers. The product line includes fixed-wing RPAS platforms like the Apoena 1000B (a 32-kilogram system). With 501–1,000 employees based in São Carlos, Xmobots operates across design, manufacturing, and field operations, serving government, energy, and infrastructure clients in Brazil.
Xmobots uses Python, NumPy, pandas, C/C++, embedded microcontrollers (STM32, Arduino, Teensy, Raspberry Pi), industrial communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422, I2C, UART), CAD/CAM tools (Solidworks, CNC), project management (Jira, Monday.com), and SQL databases. Linux and real-time operating systems (RTOS) support embedded flight control.
Xmobots is headquartered in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. The company was incubated at CIETEC-USP (the São Paulo University innovation center) and founded in 2007.
