Temp Part 107 Pilot Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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.

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.
