Avionics company shut down

Autopilot startup I worked for in WA got shut down, I worked as systems/flight test engineer. Any recommendations to workplaces with similar role in Bay area CA or TX ? I am not a US citizen and require sponsorship. Thanks.

Possibly a dead end but did you look at spaceX in Kent, wa ? They seem to be hiring across the board...

Unfortunately Spacex only hires citizens. I looked at their open positions. Thank you though.

In the Bay Area you've got quiet a few look at Kittyhawk, A^3 by Airbus, Joby Aviation, if you dont mind small startups you have Reliable Robotics, Skyryse

I have applied to Kitty hawk , will apply to others, thank you! I worked for a startup for Helicopter autopilots so that shouldn’t be a problem. How is A^3 doing? How far have they come?

A^3 is doing pretty well Vahana is considered a pretty big success and has transitioned to a main branch of the Airbus group... The Autonomy project named Wayfinder is also doing some really good work..

Sorry to hear. You have plenty of options from big aero to defense.
