Forward Deployed Engineer

Hamilton AI is creating the operating system for business aviation. Unlike commercial aviation, business aviation lives in the dark ages, think emails, phone and spreadsheets that run most of the operations of operators from 2 aircraft to 1,000 aircraft.

Hamilton is here to change that. We offer a fully vertically integrated platform that runs business operations at our customers. Our AI agents are the first point of contact for quote requests and we run these quote requests from A to Z . Think quoting, flight scheduling and optimization, route planning, aircraft tracking, payment processing, and back-office invoicing and payroll.

Our production customers are successfully moving from a suite of 20+ applications into one, unlocking valuable data that Hamilton AI leverages with its machine learning models designed to optimize routing, flight times, crew scheduling, flight scheduling, and more.
