Operate as pilot, payload operator, or safety observer during test missions. Implement safety protocols and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g. Federal Aviation Administration).
• Data Collection & Analysis. Collect and report flight data to assess system performance and identify issues. Document and report test results, including post‑flight debriefs and technical reports. Recommend design or software modifications based on test outcomes.
• Project Management. Communicate progress, risks, and results to stakeholders and leadership.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in flight testing or UAS development.
• Proficiency with ArduCopter, including parameter tuning, mission planning, and log analysis.
• Hands‑on experience with UAS assembly, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of aviation regulations and airspace procedures.
• Strong data analysis and technical reporting skills.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to work safely in dynamic field environments and coordinate multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Certification as a Federal Aviation Administration Part 107 Remote Pilot.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with other autopilot frameworks (e.g. PX4, DJI Ground Control).
• Experience using telemetry and ground control systems such as Mission Planner or QGroundControl.
• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
