Our Team & Culture
Conscious Aerospace can be described as a down-to-earth aviation idealist. Our goal is to make near zero-emission air travel possible and even profitable. While we’ll never lose sight of our goal, we know the work is hard and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We love a challenge, and we’re keenly aware that our mission is a marathon, not a sprint. This makes us committed, highly capable, and professional.
The team building the dream.
Our team combines veteran experience with youthful ingenuity. It creates the ideal breeding ground of innovative ideas and execution.

Wanted: Aviation pioneers
Who are we looking for?
Quirky, dedicated, and open-minded problem solvers who want to shape the future of aviation.
Why should you apply?
A century ago, people looked up in awe every time a plane took to the skies. Aviation as we know it today was built by the pioneers of that era. Now, the industry is looking for that same spirit again.
Hydrogen-powered flight will shape the next hundred years of aviation. Building it takes the same kind of courage, imagination, and determination that made flying possible in the first place.
At Conscious Aerospace, we’re not just making near-zero-emission flight possible, we’re reimagining aviation. And we’re looking for pioneers.
Up for the challenge?
Join us in leading the way
Conscious Aerospace is actively engaging with investors who share our belief that near-zero emission flight is the future of aviation.
