Company Overview

About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel

World View was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with DZYNE Technologies, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next-generation U.S. defense platform integrating long-endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter-UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.

While World View is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as World View as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross-posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.

What does this mean for candidates?

• You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
• You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology.
• You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
• You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.

Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.

If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.

• Support engineers with instrument development, troubleshooting, testing, and project execution.
• Assist with software flashing, firmware loading, and basic programming activities as required.
• Provide technical support for payload integration activities and launch operations as needed.
• Perform inspections on work completed by other technicians using documented procedures, specifications, drawings, and engineering instructions.
• Support electronic inspection activities, identifying workmanship defects and ensuring compliance with IPC standards.
• Follow standard manufacturing and quality processes, including engineering evaluation/change requests and use of standard manufacturing data systems.
• Maintain compliance with aerospace manufacturing quality requirements, including applicable AS9100 processes.
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and workmanship standards throughout all phases of work.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years as an Avionics Technician, or related, experience; technician experience on aerospace vehicles is strongly preferred.
• Associate [2-year] degree in electronics, or related field is required, or equivalent training obtained through military service.
• Demonstrated ability to independently perform electronics assembly tasks, including soldering, crimping, coating, and circuit testing
• Proficiency in soldering techniques, including solder cups, surface‑mount PDBs, and wire splicing.
