This role is focused on:

• multi-platform UAV deployment and operations
• software and system integration
• field deployment and troubleshooting

rather than consumer drone applications or pure research-oriented development.

The ideal candidate should have strong real-world experience with commercial UAV systems, mission planning platforms, telemetry systems, enterprise UAV workflows, and multi-vendor drone ecosystems. Candidates should be comfortable deploying and supporting UAV systems in complex real-world operational environments.

This role also requires solid software and systems integration capabilities, including UAV software integration, API/SDK integration, telemetry pipeline integration, Linux/networking fundamentals, and onsite system debugging.

Responsibilities

• Support deployment and operational management of enterprise UAV systems across industrial and infrastructure environments.
• Support onsite integration, deployment, and debugging of autonomous UAV systems.
• Integrate UAV software platforms, mission planning systems, telemetry systems, APIs, and operational data into internal systems and local operational platforms.
• Software integration
• SDK/API integration
• Telemetry pipeline integration
• Remote operation systems
• Fleet management systems
• Work closely with software and hardware teams to support integration between UAV systems and local automation systems.
• Coordinate integration across multiple UAV vendors, payload systems, sensors, and third-party software platforms.
• Support:
  • Deployment
  • Troubleshooting
  • Operational issue resolution
  • System validation
• Evaluate compatibility and integration feasibility of different UAV platforms, sensors, mission systems, and software ecosystems.
• Support flight testing, operational validation, deployment planning, and field execution.
• Assist with development and optimization of:
  • SOPs
  • Maintenance workflows
  • Safety procedures
  • Field operational processes
• Support UAV operational planning including:
  • Site coordination
  • Battery and logistics management
  • Remote operations support
• Ensure UAV operations comply with applicable U.S. federal, state, and local regulations.
• Support FAA-related operational processes including:
  • Licensing
  • Waivers
  • Flight approvals
  • Operational coordination

Qualifications

Required
