About the Role
Freefly Systems, the company that redefined camera movement with the introduction of the Mōvi M10 (a compact, lightweight, 3-axis camera stabilizer) is growing. We are on the lookout for a uniquely talented Gimbal Specialist who loves photography / cinematography and helping customers to get in on the fun.
As a member of the Freefly Support Team, you’ll join us on our mission to develop and support the next generation of innovative camera systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, robotic systems, and consumer electronic devices in a fast paced, multidisciplinary, startup environment with direct impact on our product roadmap.
The ideal candidate should have excellent written and verbal skills, experience in operating or troubleshooting electronic and mechanical equipment, and ability to work independently and self-manage time effectively in a fast-paced environment. Most importantly, you must be driven with a positive can-do attitude, play well with others, embrace a challenge, and realize that every failure is a critical step toward creating innovative products.
Job summary:
This agent will troubleshoot issues with Freefly products across the Mōvi line of gimbals, and the ecosystem of controllers and accessories we offer for camera movement.
