How much do easa pilot jobs pay per year?
What is an EASA Pilot job?
An EASA Pilot is a licensed aviator who operates aircraft under the regulations set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). They may fly commercial airliners, cargo planes, or private jets, ensuring safe and efficient air travel. To become an EASA-licensed pilot, individuals must complete approved training, pass theoretical and practical exams, and meet medical fitness standards. EASA licenses are recognized across European member states, allowing pilots to work for various airlines within Europe.
What are the typical career progression opportunities for an EASA Pilot?
EASA Pilots often start their careers as First Officers and, with experience and additional training, may progress to Captain roles on larger and more advanced aircraft. Advancement can also lead to specialized positions such as instructor pilot, examiner, or training captain within their airlines. Many pilots move into management or operational roles, including flight operations management or safety oversight. Career growth is typically supported by ongoing training, leadership development, and accumulating flight hours on different types of aircraft.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Easa Pilot position, and why are they important?
To thrive as an EASA Pilot, you need a solid understanding of aviation theory, aircraft systems, navigation, and practical flying skills, backed by an EASA-issued commercial or airline transport pilot license. Familiarity with flight management systems (FMS), electronic flight bags (EFBs), and regulatory compliance procedures is essential. Exceptional situational awareness, teamwork, decision-making, and communication abilities are highly valued. These competencies are critical for ensuring flight safety, regulatory compliance, and effective collaboration in dynamic and often high-pressure environments.

Job description
Our mission at Odys is simple - we build safe, sustainable aircraft to cut travel time in half on the world's busiest corridors. Our flagship aircraft Alta enables travelers to skip the big-airport hassle by using city helipads and local airports to connect cities less than 1,000 miles apart (approx 40% of flights). And on average cut CO2 by 76% on tens of billions of flight miles globally.
To get there, we start with our UAV called Laila for commercial logistics, medical transport, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and defense missions. We're deploying aircraft with launch partners (Fiji Airways, Honeywell, Aramex, US Navy) beginning in 2026 and already have firm orders for aircraft under contract.
We're a team of expert engineers from deep tech and aerospace that focus on fast iterations loops (completed transition flight faster than our peers) combined with mastery of the aircraft certification process. Previously, our team developed custom drones, brought multiple automotive platforms into production, and electrified transportation vehicles that magnetically levitate, that roll, that fly. Together, we've been learning, developing, building, testing, and preparing for this challenge our entire lives.
We are seeking a highly skilled UAV Pilot to join our Flight Test & Operations team as a Mission Operations Specialist. In this role, you will serve as the primary Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) for our developmental eVTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, piloting complex, novel aircraft from the Ground Control Station (GCS) during live test events.
Beyond the stick, you will own the operational and regulatory groundwork that makes each flight possible - integrating the GCS, drafting Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), securing flight authorizations, and partnering with engineering to translate test objectives into safe, executable mission profiles. You will leverage your flight test background and deep knowledge of EASA JARUS SORA and FAA Part 107/108 regulations to safely advance our aircraft from early R&D testing through to commercial certification.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary pilot at the Ground Control Station (GCS) during live experimental flight tests, safely executing mission profiles on complex, novel eVTOL UAV architectures.
- Translate engineering objectives into safe, executable flight test plans and pilot them dynamically within a rapid prototyping and testing environment.
- Lead the development of Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and operational risk assessments. Secure flight authorizations and waivers by applying the EASA JARUS SORA framework alongside FAA Part 107 and FAA Part 108 (BVLOS) regulations.
- Take ownership of the integration, testing, and troubleshooting of Ground Control Stations (GCS). Ensure seamless command, control, and telemetry flow between the GCS and aircraft via C2 links and high-bandwidth datalinks.
- Manage the integration, functional testing, and operational deployment of various R&D flight test payloads (e.g., telemetry equipment, optical sensors, ballast systems).
- Apply established UAS flight test methodologies to optimize test efficiency, safety, and operational procedures for our autonomous eVTOL UAV platforms.
- Collaborate closely with R&D engineering teams to analyze post-flight telemetry, evaluate handling qualities, validate C2 link robustness, and refine vehicle design based on real-world flight execution.
- Active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with a proven logbook demonstrating significant flight hours as an RPIC on complex UAS or developmental eVTOL UAV platforms.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience piloting complex, multi-rotor, or thrust-vectored vertical lift UAVs in an R&D, experimental, or operational test environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aviation, or a related technical field.
- Professional experience in experimental, R&D, or certification flight test programs - whether as a UAV operator/pilot, Flight Test Engineer, or both.
- Practical experience executing the EASA JARUS SORA process, coupled with deep expertise in the FAA Part 107 and FAA Part 108 frameworks for complex or Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
- Hands-on experience with Ground Control Station (GCS) integration, specifically focusing on:
- Command and Control (C2) link architecture and performance validation.
- Datalink integration (telemetry, video, and command streams).
- Hardware and software payload integration.
- Familiarity with additional FAA aircraft certification frameworks (e.g., Part 21, Part 23, Part 27).
- Experience with flight test data analysis software (e.g., IADS, MATLAB, Python) to support rapid R&D iterations.
- Human Factors Evaluation Experience - pilot interface design, workload assessment, GCS ergonomics, or HMI evaluation in flight test settings.
