Job openings at Autel

[Colorado_scott]

I am learning a lot these days about drones and companies that produce drones. Filtering through all the comments makes ones head spin. As usual, a wide variety of comments. Many seem concerned about Autel support and products. I wrote Autel an email on their web page, and we'll see how long it takes for me to get a response - sort of testing if they 'care' about my comments and potential customers.

I looked at the Career page on the Autel web.. here's what I found. Many tell me DJI has 10x the engineers as Autel - and I perhaps believe something close to this. It's clear from the below that Autel is looking for some good talent, but it begs the question; why aren't these people in place now - who's doing the work of these open positions now? You draw your own conclusions, but I hope they will these positions soon to stabilize their products.

Autel has been staffing up for a while now; I believe these are new positions in anticipation of expanded research, development and customer support, not necessarily "replacement" positions. The facility in Pittsburgh is brand new, not sure if it is up and running yet. They also have a number of positions listed on ziprecruiter.com.

To me, it implies 'good news'; that Autel needs and wants the talent that it takes to be innovative and competitive. I would imagine that getting people with these talents is very challenging and difficult - for any company.
