Unmanned Aerial Systems Analyst information

What is an unmanned aerial systems analyst?

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Analysts are professionals who specialize in operating, analyzing, and managing data collected from unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). They are responsible for planning missions, monitoring drone flights, processing aerial imagery or sensor data, and interpreting the information for various applications such as surveillance, mapping, or research. UAS Analysts often work with both the technological aspects of drones and the data analysis required to support decision-making in fields like defense, agriculture, or environmental monitoring. Their work often involves collaboration with pilots, engineers, and data scientists to ensure mission success and data accuracy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an unmanned aerial systems analyst?

To thrive as an Unmanned Aerial Systems Analyst, you need expertise in data analysis, remote sensing, and UAV (drone) operations, often supported by a relevant engineering, computer science, or aviation degree. Familiarity with GIS software, drone piloting certifications (such as FAA Part 107), and mission planning tools is typically required. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help analysts interpret data and collaborate across teams. These skills are crucial for ensuring accurate data collection, regulatory compliance, and actionable insights in support of operational objectives.

What are some common challenges unmanned aerial systems analysts face in coordinating with cross-functional teams?

Unmanned Aerial Systems Analysts often work closely with engineers, pilots, data analysts, and project managers, which can present challenges in aligning technical expectations and communication styles. Balancing operational requirements with regulatory compliance and safety standards requires clear, ongoing collaboration. Analysts may also need to translate complex data insights into actionable recommendations for non-technical team members, ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding mission objectives and deliverables.

Re-posted yesterday

Key responsibilities

  • Execute scheduled UAS flights in industrial settings and manage related data transfer.

  • Perform field piloting duties, including operating multi-rotor UAS and collecting content and inspection data.

  • Participate in training on piloting, safety, and technical skills related to UAS operations.

Job description

Arch Aerial LLC is seeking a highly motivated Junior UAS Pilot (Drone Pilot) to create and collect both captivating content and high utility industrial inspection data (for our construction and energy service lines). This is a full time hourly position which can expect 35-45 hours per week.



Functions & Responsibilities

Execute scheduled UAS (unmanned aerial systems) missions for Arch Aerial LLC, primarily in industrial settings. Duties and responsibilities include execution of UAS flights, data management, and data transfer. Must be familiar with multi-rotor UAS operation; fixed wing UAS operational experience is a plus. As this is an entry level Junior UAS Pilot role, previous professional UAS Pilot experience is not required, but is highly recommended. Whether a candidate has previous professional UAS Piloting experience or not, training will be conducted by Arch Aerial on Arch Aerial piloting, process, safety, and technical skills for all new hires.


Workload will consist of roughly 35 - 45 hours of operation per week, with opportunities for overtime beyond 40 hours per week. Travel is to be expected, and candidates should understand that duties are often performed outside in Gulf Coast and Southwest climates which include hot and humid conditions. Additional opportunities for piloting work both inside and outside of the DFW area will become available from time-to-time. Piloting duties will be conducted in the field, and any administrative or data technician duties require the Junior UAS Pilot to be in-office (i.e. this position is not remote).


We value (i) experience, (ii) a strong and efficient work ethic, and (iii) strong piloting skills, and (iv) integrity more than a specific educational degree.

    • Part 107 Remote Pilot Endorsement
    • 6 Months of Commercial Drone Piloting Experience (full time or 1099)
    • Experience flying multi-rotor UAS
  • Secondary Traits (not required but will make the candidate highly competitive)
    • TWIC Card
    • Experience with methane detection or optical gas imaging
    • Experience in the construction industry
    • Experience with photo/video editing
    • LiDAR capture / editing experience
  • Tertiary Traits (not required, and not as important as secondary traits, but may be complimentary traits)
    • DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise or Mavic 4 Enterprise Experience
    • DJI M300/M350/M400 Experience
  • Training Opportunities
    • Although candidates with the Part 107 Remote Pilot Endorsement will be preferred, candidate will have the opportunity to apprentice, train, and test for the Part 107 UAS Remote Pilot Endorsement if not already held.
    • Although candidates with the DJI M600 experience will be preferred, candidate will have the opportunity to apprentice, train for DJI M600 experience if not already held.
    • OQ Certification.
    • Methane detection and hyper-spectral payloads.
    • Cloud data management.
    • Photogrammetry.
    • LiDAR

Benefits

There are no benefits offered with this position but the candidate may be eligible for future benefits programs enrollment in 2026 for the 2027 calendar year.
