What are the unique challenges of working as an Overnight Part 107 Pilot, and how can I prepare for them?

Overnight Part 107 Pilots often face challenges such as limited visibility, fatigue, and reduced support staff during late hours. To succeed, it’s important to be well-versed in night flight regulations, utilize proper lighting on drones, and maintain strong situational awareness. Pilots should also establish a consistent sleep schedule to manage alertness and ensure all pre-flight checks are thorough. Effective communication with remote teams and a proactive approach to safety are key to overcoming these challenges.

What are Overnight Part 107 Pilots?

Overnight Part 107 Pilots are drone operators who hold a Remote Pilot Certificate under FAA Part 107 regulations and perform drone flights during overnight hours. These pilots are responsible for safely operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for tasks such as aerial photography, inspections, or surveillance that require nighttime operations. To fly at night, they must comply with specific FAA requirements, including completing night operations training and equipping drones with appropriate anti-collision lighting. Overnight operations often require additional planning and situational awareness compared to daytime flights.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Overnight Part 107 Pilot, and why are they important?

To excel as an Overnight Part 107 Pilot, you need an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, strong knowledge of drone operations, and experience with nighttime flight protocols. Familiarity with flight planning software, advanced drones (such as DJI or Autel models), and compliance tools for airspace authorization are typically required. Attention to detail, strong situational awareness, and effective communication are vital soft skills for handling unique challenges associated with night operations. These skills ensure safe, legal, and efficient aerial missions in low-light conditions, minimizing risks and maximizing data quality for clients.

Infravision

Austin, TX • On-site

Full-time

Posted 4 days ago

Job description

RPAS Pilot - Manual Flight Operations
Austin, TX | Full-Time | Relocation Required | Travel Required
The Opportunity
Infravision is looking for a skilled RPAS Pilot to support manual drone flight operations, field execution, equipment readiness, safety protocols, and customer-facing project work in the U.S.
This is not a real estate, home inspection, roof inspection, photography, or pre-programmed mapping role. This is a hands-on field operations role in a fast-moving technology environment. The RPAS Pilot will not fly all day, every day. This person will help prepare equipment, support field operations, troubleshoot drones and related systems, document site activity, travel to project locations, and do what is needed to support safe and successful execution.
This role is ideal for someone with strong aviation judgment, manual flight capability, technical aptitude, safety discipline, and the flexibility to support a broad range of responsibilities in the field.
About Infravision
Infravision is redefining how critical infrastructure is built, inspected, and maintained. We combine aviation, robotics, and field technology to help modernize the power grid safely, efficiently, and at scale.
Our technology is deployed in real-world field environments, helping utilities and infrastructure partners improve safety, reduce risk, and accelerate the delivery of critical energy infrastructure.
Find out more about Infravision and our work at: https://www.infravisioninc.com/
Why work for Infravision
At Infravision, you will be part of a forward-looking technology company at a pivotal stage of U.S. growth. Our work is hands-on, field-based, and mission-driven. We are building technology that is actively used to solve real infrastructure challenges.
You will work alongside aviation, engineering, operations, safety, and field teams to support customer projects and help shape how advanced aerial robotics are deployed in the U.S. market.
This is a role for someone who wants more than routine drone work. It is for someone who wants to fly, prepare, troubleshoot, travel, support safety, work outdoors, communicate with customers, and help build the future of aviation-enabled infrastructure.
What you'll do
  • Operate RPAS/UAS platforms in support of field operations, customer projects, testing, demonstrations, and deployments.
  • Conduct manual flight operations requiring precision, judgment, situational awareness, and strong aviation discipline.
  • Support pre-job preparation, equipment readiness, site setup, execution, breakdown, and post-job documentation.
  • Assist with field drone maintenance, troubleshooting, basic repairs, and operational readiness.
  • Lead and support site safety and quality protocols, including daily toolbox talks.
  • Ensure required PPE, first aid kits, and safety resources are available during work execution.
  • Ensure site compliance requirements are followed and documented during charged and discharged working conditions.
  • Work outdoors in non-climate-controlled environments, including remote sites and areas with limited infrastructure.
  • Walk, stand, lift, carry, set up, and break down equipment in field conditions.
  • Navigate uneven, unpaved, rocky, muddy, sloped, or otherwise challenging terrain.
  • Communicate professionally with customers, utility partners, contractors, field crews, aviation teams, safety teams, and internal stakeholders.
  • Travel as required to support field operations, customer projects, demonstrations, and deployments.
  • Support other field, operational, safety, documentation, and startup needs as assigned.

What We're Looking For
  • Current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate required.
  • Minimum 500 flight hours of non pre-programmed flights.
  • Strong working knowledge of FAA aviation principles, including airspace, weather, risk management, pre-flight planning, aeronautical decision-making, and flight discipline.
  • FAA Part 61 pilot knowledge, military aviation, flight instruction, commercial aviation, or equivalent aviation operations experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated manual flight capability beyond pre-programmed or automated flight paths.
  • Experience in field operations, aviation, utility, infrastructure, construction, public safety, military, inspection, survey, testing, or similar environments.
  • Hands-on technical aptitude, including equipment setup, troubleshooting, basic maintenance support, and problem-solving in field conditions.
  • Strong safety mindset and ability to support toolbox talks, PPE readiness, first aid readiness, and field compliance documentation.
  • High level of professional communication, judgment, and customer-facing presence.
  • Ability to work outdoors, travel, lift/carry equipment, and operate safely on uneven or unpaved terrain.
  • Flexibility to support a broad range of responsibilities in a growing startup environment.
  • Ability and willingness to relocate to Austin, TX.

Diversity and inclusion
Infravision is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace where people are valued for their experience, perspective, and contribution. We believe different backgrounds, skills, and ways of thinking strengthen our teams and help us solve complex problems.
We encourage applications from candidates who meet the core requirements of the role and are excited to contribute to a growing, mission-driven technology company.
Infravision is a proud veteran employer, with up to 40% of our workforce being from former armed forces backgrounds.
