ABSI Aerospace & Defense is an innovative small business headquartered in the St. Mary's County Innovation District in Southern Maryland, near Naval Air Systems Command. At its core, ABSI is a technical solutions company committed to rapidly delivering emerging technologies that create asymmetric advantages for our customers.
ABSI is seeking experienced and aspiring UAS operators to join its Quick Reaction Team (QRT) as Aerial Target Operators. The QRT is a trained, on-call operational cadre responsible for executing aerial target missions in support of test, training, and evaluation events for Department of Defense and government customers.

Operators are expected to maintain mission readiness through recurring training and to support mission deployments consistent with their availability. Operators will find meaningful, mission-oriented work and the opportunity to contribute in a flexible, part-time capacity while maintaining other professional commitments. Critically, the QRT program is designed around operators' existing lives - ABSI understands that qualified operators have demanding careers and personal obligations, and has structured this program accordingly.

Journeyman Level:
  • 2-5 years of operational UAS experience
  • Experience operating both multi-rotor and fixed-wing systems
  • Active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with current recurrency
  • Experience with mission planning tools and controlled airspace operations
  • Familiarity with autonomous or semi-autonomous systems

Senior Level:
  • 5+ years of progressively complex unmanned systems operations
  • Experience supporting DoD or government operational environments preferred
  • Experience with airspace coordination, COAs, waivers, or similar processes
  • Active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with consistent recurrency
  • Experience across multiple UAS platforms and mission profiles
  • Ability to operate in dynamic, high-tempo environments

All Levels:
  • U.S. Citizenship
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance
  • Eligible for a Class II FAA medical
  • Willingness to accept mission assignments consistent with personal availability
  • Ability to travel
  • Comfortable operating in field environments under variable dynamic and high-tempo situations conditions
  • Demonstrated commitment to professionalism, adaptability, and reliability
