Job description

UMS SKELDAR is developing an unmanned helicopter to support naval, military and public safety operations. We have a fast and dynamic work environment with an entrepreneurial spirit. At UMS Skeldar, you get the unique chance to leave your footprint within our organization with fast reaction times and high engagement.

Key words: UAV, Pilot, Technician, Helicopter Technician, Aircraft Technician, Aviation Technician

Due to continued growth, new customer contracts, and upcoming deliveries, we are expanding our Flight Operations team with an additional Remote Pilot. We are looking for an aviation professional with experience in civil and/or military aviation, as well as unmanned aircraft systems, who is ready to take the next step in their career. If you also enjoy sharing your knowledge through instruction and training, this is an opportunity to combine operational flying with the development of next‑generation unmanned helicopter systems at UMS Skeldar.

Remote Pilot with us

The Skeldar V‑200 is an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platform designed for both military and civil markets worldwide. The primary focus of the flight operations team is to conduct functional tests, test flights, development of new systems, demonstration flights, training of Remote Pilots and Flight Technicians, as well as customer deliveries. As a Remote Pilot, you will work in operational teams alongside helicopter technicians and flight test engineers. The workplace is dynamic, alternating between our facility in Linköping and various locations where we hold operational authorizations.

You will start with comprehensive training covering the entire system, flight simulations, and test flights. As you become autonomous, you will also have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and, over time, participate in training programs we deliver to our customers.

In the role of Remote Pilot, you will:

• Fly the Skeldar V‑200
• Participate in test flights, demonstrations, and customer start‑up phases
• Deliver training for customers and internal personnel
• Perform functional checks, planning, and preparations ahead of flights
• Conduct follow‑up work and debriefings after flights
• Collaborate closely across the organization to ensure deliveries and project progress
• Work according to organizational needs, both nationally and internationally

At UMS Skeldar, every day brings new challenges. This role includes domestic and international travel. You’ll have a unique opportunity to join a senior team with strong work ethic while helping to develop the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the future.

Are you the one we are looking for?

We place great emphasis on personal qualities to ensure you will thrive in the role. You are a strong team player with clear communication skills. You take ownership of what needs to be done and can perform your tasks independently.

We would like you to have relevant professional experience in the aviation industry, or a relevant education. Holding or having held a pilot license for an airplane or helicopter is a merit.
