Job description
Location: Bay Area (deployment-facing) with travel Â
ABOUT US
Buoyant Aero builds autonomous lighter-than-air aircraft. We’re transitioning from prototype shop to operating company — running daily commercial deployments in challenging real-world environments.
We’re a small, technical, fast-moving team building a new category of aerial infrastructure and media platform.
THE ROLE
You will own the operational backbone of our SF deployment and the deployments that follow.
That means:
- SOPs that exist, get followed, and improve
- Crew schedules that hold
- Spares inventories that don’t run out offshore
- Calm, professional execution even when conditions change quickly
You will be responsible for making deployments feel reliable, repeatable, and scalable.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own deployment SOPs (launch, recovery, battery swaps, weather calls, emergency procedures)
- Coordinate pilots, vessel crew, and field operations staff
- Run daily deployment debriefs and weekly ops reviews
- Manage spares, batteries, helium logistics, transport, and deployment readiness
- Serve as the on-site operational point of contact for clients
- Track operational metrics including uptime, cancellations, cycle time, and cost per flight hour
- Identify operational risks before they become incidents
YOU PROBABLY HAVE
- 5+ years running field operations in aviation, maritime, film/TV production, military logistics, expedition operations, field service, or similar environments
- Strong operational judgment under pressure
- Comfort with checklists as a craft, not a chore
- Excellent written communication skills — a large portion of this role is documentation and coordination
- Willingness to spend significant time on boats during deployment seasons
BONUS
- Part 107 certification (or willingness to obtain one — we’ll sponsor)
- Aviation, drone, or UAS operations background
- Maritime operations experience
COMPENSATION
Competitive salary + equity for full time positions.
