The ModalAI team outdoors in San Diego with two development drones in flight

Transforming the Robotics Industry

ModalAI builds the autopilots, autonomy software and aircraft that let small drones fly on their own. We are a San Diego company that spun out of Qualcomm in 2018, and our team sent PCBs to Mars and created the world's first 5G development drone. Along with competitive pay and benefits, we are committed to a workplace that is collaborative, hands-on and mission-driven.

Looking for Modal Labs, the cloud computing company? That is a different company. ModalAI makes drone autopilots.
