An Independent Contractor Pilot is a professional aviator who operates aircraft on a contract basis rather than as a direct employee of an airline or company. These pilots are typically hired for specific flights, short-term assignments, or ongoing freelance work. They may fly private jets, charter planes, cargo aircraft, or corporate flights, depending on their qualifications and experience. Independent Contractor Pilots must manage their own schedules, maintain necessary certifications, and ensure compliance with aviation regulations.
To thrive as an Independent Contractor Pilot, you need a valid commercial pilot’s license, extensive flight experience, and strong knowledge of aviation regulations. Proficiency with navigation systems, flight planning software, and safety management systems is typically required, along with up-to-date certifications such as an FAA medical certificate. Outstanding situational awareness, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate clearly with clients and aviation professionals are essential soft skills. These abilities ensure safe, efficient, and client-focused operations in a dynamic and self-directed professional environment.
Independent Contractor Pilots often manage their own schedules, contracts, and travel logistics, which can require significant self-organization and flexibility. Unlike airline pilots with set routes and support teams, contractor pilots may fly a variety of aircraft for different clients, adapting quickly to new procedures and work environments. They are also responsible for maintaining their own credentials, insurance, and compliance with all regulatory requirements. This autonomy provides greater freedom but also requires a proactive approach to time management, professional networking, and personal safety.

Enhanced Vehicle Situational Awareness (EVSA) Chief Engineer
Reports To: EVSA Program Manager
Location: Warren, Michigan, with CONUS and international travel
Clearance: Active DoD SECRET clearance; U.S. citizenship required.
Travel: Approximately 20–30%, including CONUS pilot site support and possible extended deployment to Bulgaria
Compensation: $180,000–$205,000, commensurate with experience, plus standard benefits
About FED95
FED95, LLC, a Waseyabek Development Company subsidiary, is a Native American-owned 8(a) small business providing systems engineering, integration, and fielding support to U.S. Department of Defense customers. FED95 holds an active SECRET facility clearance and has past performance supporting Army and Navy IT, cybersecurity, and systems integration programs.
Position Summary
The EVSA Chief Engineer is the technical authority for validating Government-furnished EVSA technical data, overseeing integration of camera and mounting hardware onto ground combat vehicles, and ensuring the fielded configuration meets functional, safety, and interface requirements. This role bridges Government-furnished engineering data and the physical, fielded system; confirming fit, resolving configuration gaps, and supporting hands-on integration and pilot validation activities.
Key Responsibilities
• Review and validate Government-furnished technical data (design, interfaces, qualification data) for applicability to the specific vehicle configuration(s) being fielded.
• Provide engineering oversight of sub-contractors and material suppliers’ mounting/bracket design and fabrication.
• Oversee sourcing and integration of camera hardware, cable assemblies, and other FED95-procured components.
• Lead or support fit-check and integration activities, including any prototype or CONUS pilot installation events.
• Identify and resolve configuration gaps between the Government-furnished baseline and actual fielded vehicles, escalating to Government engineering authorities as needed rather than independently redesigning the system.
• Support residual cybersecurity coordination confirming the fielded configuration's security posture remains valid.
• Support production readiness reviews and quality verification of fielded kits.
• Document engineering findings, as-built configuration, and any design adjustments required for production.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of engineering experience in defense, ground vehicle, or systems integration programs.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical/electrical integration, fit-check, or prototype validation work.
• Ability to read, interpret, and validate technical data packages, interface control documents, and specifications.
• Active DoD SECRET clearance; U.S. citizenship required.
• Willingness to travel internationally, for trips of up to several weeks.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Army combat or tactical vehicle platforms.
• Camera, sensor, or electro-optical systems integration experience.
• Experience working with Government-furnished technical data packages and configuration management.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-810 (environmental) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) considerations.
