The Mission:
Personal Note from Thomas (CBO):
Saying that HyLight is fast paced is an understatement. Our team keeps on building to increase the quality of the data by adding better and more sensors, the quantity of the data by flying ever longer. It’s our goal (yours and mine) to keep feeding our team with inspections in order to enhance the solution, learn, bring value and repeat.
Know that there are dozens of applications possible. Your responsibility will be to understand them, quantify them, prioritize them and deliver quickly so that HyLight keeps learning and keeps growing faster. It is a unique opportunity to be fully committed and to have real impact.

Why You Should Join:
Location:
HyLight builds and operates autonomous airships for long range monitoring. We focus on detecting methane leaks on pipelines and defects on power lines.
Our innovation, the HyLighter, is a crossover between drone and airship technology. Like a drone, it is easily controllable and transportable. And, like an airship, it is extremely energy-efficient, enabling it to fly for up to 10 hours at slow speed (22mph) for optimal data collection which represents a range of 220miles.
Today, energy infrastructure operators struggle with conducting inspections that are simultaneously: massive and precise. HyLight offers a solution to precisely detect issues on the infrastructure at an industrial scale, and all of this without emitting GHGs.
We are 3 co-founders experienced in hardware and energy companies with Masters in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Business from the best Engineering and Business School in France.
We have developed 5 different flying aircrafts and signed 5 pilots programs with major energy infrastructure operators. We also have LOIs worth over $3.5M.
