Company Description
Pitch Aeronautics ( www.pitchaero.com ) is a rapidly growing startup creating game-changing solutions for the utility industry. Pitch has developed a drone to install our line sensor, bird diverters, and other equipment on power lines. Our drone-deployable line sensors wirelessly transmit environmental and line characteristics to an online secure API to help utilities push more power through existing lines, prevent wildfires, and improve grid reliability. Our drone-deployable FeatherFender bird diverters help birds see and avoid collisions with power lines. We're looking for motivated undergraduate interns to assist on ongoing research and development projects.
