How much do evtol jobs pay per hour?
What is an eVTOL?
An eVTOL job refers to a role in the electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) industry, which focuses on developing, manufacturing, operating, or maintaining electric-powered aircraft that can take off and land vertically. Positions in this field range from engineering and design to flight operations, maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Professionals in eVTOL jobs work on advancing urban air mobility solutions, reducing carbon emissions, and making aerial transportation more efficient.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the eVTOL position?
To thrive in an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) role—such as a pilot, engineer, or technician—you need a deep understanding of aeronautics, electrical systems, and advanced avionics, often supported by relevant degrees or certifications like Part 107 or A&P licenses. Familiarity with flight management software, battery management systems, and regulatory standards from agencies such as the FAA is typically required. Strong problem-solving, adaptability, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills in this emerging field. These competencies ensure the safe operation, maintenance, and advancement of cutting-edge eVTOL technology in a rapidly evolving industry.
What are the typical career growth opportunities for professionals working in the eVTOL industry?
The eVTOL industry is rapidly expanding, offering a range of career advancement paths for professionals including promotions to lead engineer or chief pilot roles, management positions in operations or safety, and opportunities to specialize in systems development or regulatory compliance. As the sector matures, those with hands-on experience in eVTOL technology often move into training, R&D, or program management positions. Collaboration between engineering, flight operations, and regulatory teams opens doors to cross-functional roles and leadership development. If you’re motivated to adapt and learn, the fast-paced nature of eVTOL creates ample opportunities to shape the future of urban air mobility and grow alongside the industry.

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.
