Careers at Hover
Developing IMA computers and edge systems for airborne AI
Hover is an emerging leader in integrated hardware and software computers. Our low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) computers are designed for airborne Artificial Intelligence (AI) and next-generation powertrains. The H-series computers are part of an ecosystem which includes the Hover Real-Time Operating System (H-RTOS) and Hover Software Development Kit (H-SDK). Our products conform to standards such as ARINC 653 and ARINC 615A.
We develop solutions for traditional and non-traditional aircraft: transport aircraft, aircraft with electric or hybrid-electric powertrains including electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and uncrewed aircraft.
