Sr. Materials - Irvine, United States - Supernal

Description

Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility solutions that will foster the development of human-centered cities.

We are designing a completely new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility needs of future cities.

This allows passengers a seamless intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final destination.

We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and services to define a new category of mobility for the world's communities.

We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving people's ability to move - whether for work or play.
