Job description

Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) - Flying Operations

Location: Bhubaneswar (with travel across India for field deployments)

Department: Customer Success | Flying Operations, After-Sales & Field Deployment

Level: Entry Level / Fresher

The Role in a Nutshell

Ever wanted to actually fly the drones you help build a career around?

As a GET – Flying Operations, you'll be trained from the ground up to fly, maintain, troubleshoot and deploy BonV's UAV systems at customer sites across India. Think hands‑on tech, real field missions, and a front‑row seat to India's growing eVTOL/drone industry — not a desk job.

You'll start with structured training and progressively take on independent responsibility for customer deployments and support.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Pilot BonV UAVs during testing, demos, and live customer missions — following strict safety protocols every step of the way.
• Travel to customer locations (including remote and high-altitude terrain), assemble systems, run checks, and get them mission‑ready.
• Get hands‑on with preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, component replacement, and post‑repair testing.
• Be the frontline face of BonV in the field — diagnosing issues, coordinating with our engineering team, and keeping customer systems running.

Train Others

Once you're confident, help train customer pilots and operators on using and maintaining the systems.

Document Everything

Keep clean records — flight logs, maintenance reports, deployment notes — so every activity is traceable.

(Full detailed responsibilities shared during the interview process.)

Your Growth Path

You won't be thrown into the deep end. Training happens in stages:

• 2. Flying Operations — simulator to real missions
• 3. Maintenance & Troubleshooting— calibration, repairs, diagnostics
• 4. Customer Deployment — independent field ownership

Each level builds on the last, so you grow into the role with real support.

Who We’re Looking For

Qualification:

• B.Tech/B.E./Diploma in Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace, Robotics, Automobile, or Computer Science (or related fields)

Nice to have (not mandatory):

• Basic understanding of multirotor UAVs
• Comfort with electronics/electrical troubleshooting
• Exposure to ArduPilot/Mission Planner
• Any prior UAV flying experience

What matters more than your resume:

• Willingness to learn hands‑on technical work
• Comfort with frequent travel and field conditions
• Ownership, discipline, and staying calm under pressure
• Good communication

Why This Role Is Worth Your Shot

• Converts to a f ull-time role based on performance
• Real flying experience — not simulations alone
• Exposure to India's fast-growing deeptech /drone sector
• Structured mentorship instead of sink‑or‑swim training
• Work that takes you beyond a desk — new sites, new challenges

Ready to Apply?

If you're a 2025 or 2026 graduate who wants hands‑on tech experience in the field (literally), we'd love to hear from you.
