## Job description

Join the Wingtra team and become part of this venture-backed robotics scaleup with a global and international team of 120+ dedicated Wingtranauts who want to see their actions have a positive and lasting impact on the world. Founded more than 9 years ago at ETH Zurich, Europe’s leading robotics university, our goal is to build the best aerial robots to digitize the world at the push of a button and set the basis for faster and better decisions. Wingtra provides efficient and reliable data solutions to a variety of industries ranging from mining, construction and agriculture to humanitarian organizations, environmentalists and wildlife monitoring groups. You keep the office running and make sure Wingtra stays a great place to work. Your days mix administrative work, office management and event organizing. You bring an organized, hands-on approach, look after the ambiance, the goodies and the events, and get the chance to keep improving them. You're also the first point of contact for Wingtranauts and business partners on anything to do with administration and the office.

## Responsibilities

- Answer the everyday questions. You handle basic inquiries from team members on behalf of Wingtra, like office and IT equipment and mail, so people get a quick answer from someone who knows.
- Keep the paperwork moving. You open the mail, scan invoices and upload them to the right folder. You also check receipts.
- Run the office basics. You order food and materials and look after the ambiance and the goodies. You're free to improve how it all works.
- Welcome new Wingtranauts. You support onboarding and offboarding: handing out office keys, setting up the workstation and preparing merch for new starters.
- Look after the merch. You manage the stock of internal and external merch products.
- Bring people together. You support company-wide events and initiatives and liaise with colleagues abroad.
- Organize external events. You plan two to three events a year.
- Support the team day to day. You help Wingtranauts with administrative and logistic work as it comes up.
- Grow into more. If performance and time allow, you take on more advanced tasks and complex projects.

## Requirements

- You have 1-2 years of experience in administrative work, office management and/or event management.
- You're in the office at least three days a week, Friday afternoon is a must.
- You're business fluent in English and German.
- You're reliable, well-organized and diligent, and you follow processes and instructions with care.
- You take responsibility and spot what needs doing, from a tidy office to a missing supply, so everyone has a good place to work.
- You're comfortable with IT tools.
- You enjoy steady contact with Wingtranauts and business partners, and you bring a positive, get-things-done attitude

## We offer

- Young and dynamic team
- Party time job (40 to 50%) with flexible working hours
- Gaining experience and personal development in an innovative company
- Free snacks, a ping-pong table and lots of enthusiastic Wingtranauts ;-)

If you enjoy teamwork more than being the individual superhero, and if you thrive in a feedback-driven culture and an exciting, unconventional yet structured and progressive scale-up environment, we would love to hear from you.

## About Wingtra AG

## Company Overview

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary VTOL tailsitter technology** developed at ETH Zurich's Autonomous Systems Lab, solving traditional surveying workflow inefficiencies while reducing points of failure
- **Fully integrated workflow** (drone + sensors + GNSS + software) that shortens the path from flight planning to validated geospatial deliverables, lowering cost per survey area and reducing rework
- **Sub-centimetre accuracy** that makes output defensible for engineering, mining, and government use
- **NDAA compliance** for WingtraRAY, opening the US federal and public-sector market to a Swiss-made platform
- **Swiss engineering ecosystem**: hardware designed and assembled in Zurich alongside Leica Geosystems, Pix4D, Flyability, and Auterion
- **Category leadership**: ranked second overall and first in the drone category among Swiss start-ups (2020)

## Strategic Focus
- Expanding LiDAR and multispectral capabilities to capture more of the surveying payload market
- Deepening US market penetration via NDAA-compliant hardware (WingtraRAY) and federal procurement channels
- Scaling the global reseller network (100+ resellers across US, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC)
- Making professional-grade aerial data collection accessible to teams with mixed drone/surveying expertise, reducing reliance on specialized pilots

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Employees ("Wingtranauts") describe a transparent, data-driven environment where "arguments trump opinions, and data and statistics trump arguments"; by default, every employee has access to everything. The company emphasizes curiosity, continuous improvement, and a "bias for action."
- **Recognition**: Ranked among the best start-ups in Switzerland (2nd overall, 1st in the drone category, 2020).
- **Work model**: Mix of on-site roles (engineering and manufacturing in Zurich) and remote roles (e.g., Head of Sales US West is remote, US-based). Open roles include Quality and Incoming Technician, Working Student Quality, and Regional Sales Manager Canada.
- **Team**: ~125–200 employees across 24 countries; 30+ in R&D; a flat, human-first environment that "works for humans."
