Matternet is on a mission to make access to goods as frictionless and universal as access to information. Since 2017, we’ve flown over 60,000 drone flights for healthcare and e-commerce, from building the world’s first urban medical drone routes in Switzerland to delivering everyday essentials to homes in the US.
Now, for the first time, we’re expanding into the UK to support the NHS Drone Delivery Network, transforming the way medicines, tests, and supplies move between hospitals and patients. We’re looking for passionate, adaptable team members to help us bring our vision to life in London and beyond.
