  • ~80% time field testing. Must have ability to travel several days in a week
  • Prepare, transport, and operate drone systems and supporting equipment
  • Document and collect data during tests
  • Perform high volume qualification on late-stage engineering products

You should have the following

  • 2 years minimum on acro drones
  • Expert at acro FPV and LOS flying
  • Ability to detect subtle performance issues in equipment
  • Technical knowledge of UAV components
  • Betaflight and ESC software
  • Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting
  • Part 107

Nice to have

  • 5+ years experience in FPV
  • Blackbox analysis and PID tuning
  • Professional FPV piloting experience
