Fixed Wing UAV Pilot
via Ashby
About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
We build long-endurance, fixed-wing UAVs and run a continuous flight-test campaign. Every sortie generates flight data that feeds straight back into design, QC, and manufacturing, so the faster and more reliably we fly, the faster the aircraft gets better. We need a fixed-wing pilot who can operate autonomous sorties reliably, monitor autonomous missions, and recover the drone in case of a rescue. You'll perform flight operations targeting sustained flight hours across multiple airframes.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Conduct manual takeoffs, landings, and emergency recovery of fixed-wing UAVs
- Plan, upload, and monitor autonomous missions in Mission Planner
- Act as safety pilot during autonomous and VLOS sorties…
