Job details
Full-time
Aviation’s carbon footprint is growing, and "net-zero 2050" is too far away. At MAKO, we’re decarbonising the global fleet right now. By applying the biomimicry of shark skin to aircraft, our functional film is set to save billions in fuel and megatonnes of CO2 annually
What You Will Do
Global Fleet Support: Lead and co‑coordinate the installation, quality assurance activities, and maintenance of MAKO Flightfilm on aircraft around the world
Regulatory & Process Integrity: Develop and execute processes, ensuring that activities comply with any requirements from maintenance organisations or aviation regulatory authorities

Technical Training & Empowerment: Train and mentor team members and relevant stakeholders in capabilities such as installation techniques, quality control checks, provision and installation of maintenance kits
Technical Relationship Management: Lead relationships with technical counterparts within our customers, ensuring that we understand and are compliant with their needs and processes
What Success Looks Like
First Month: You will learn more about the MAKO team, our processes, and our values of lift over drag, active transparency and changing the boundary conditions.

Why Join MAKO
Impact: Aviation is one of the hardest to abate industries, and its share of global emissions is only growing. Join our mission to improve the efficiency of the global fleet and save millions of tonnes of CO2 every year.
Technology: Our technology leverages the drag‑reducing properties of shark skin to make aircraft more efficient. You’ll be exposed to expertise and developments in materials, photolithography, fluid dynamics, and scale manufacturing.
Team: Our team focuses on achieving our mission. We live our values of lift over drag, active transparency, and changing the boundary conditions, and we welcome new team members who want to do the same.
Corporate Jet: We have (most of) a corporate jet. It won’t fly, but it sure does look cool.
If you’re ready to bridge the gap between world‑class aviation engineering and a zero‑carbon future, we want to hear from you! Apply today and help us take flight.
