• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate drone capabilities with other technologies (e.g., LiDAR, thermal imaging, photogrammetry, GIS mapping tools)
• Oversee the collection of high-resolution aerial data (e.g., images, video, 3D models, thermal imagery) during flight missions
• Ensure proper storage and security of data collected during flights, complying with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR)
• Perform basic post-processing tasks (e.g., georeferencing, stitching, creating flight logs) and work with external software platforms (e.g., Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Agisoft)
• Conduct pre-flight equipment checks, including batteries, sensors, camera systems, and communication links
• Provide comprehensive mission reports, including flight logs, data analysis, and actionable insights for clients

Qualifications:

• Valid Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permission, including Part 107, Part 135 (if applicable), and any specific local or state requirements
• Minimum 3 years of professional drone piloting experience in complex operations
• Extensive experience with drone platforms such as DJI Matrice, Phantom, Inspire, or custom-built UAS
• Proven track record of flying drones for commercial applications in sectors like surveying, mapping, infrastructure inspection, or agriculture
• Experience in working within restricted airspace and coordinating with aviation authorities (ATC)
• Strong knowledge of geospatial software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, Pix4D, Agisoft) and drone flight management tools (e.g., DJI Terra, Litchi)
• Expertise in flying drones in diverse environments (urban, rural, industrial, hazardous)
• Strong knowledge of drone flight systems, payloads (e.g., LiDAR, RGB cameras, multispectral sensors), and sensor calibration
• Familiarity with international regulations regarding drone operations, especially in the United States
• Problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues in the field
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for mission planning, data management, and safety protocols

Preferred Qualifications:

• High proficiency in data post-processing techniques and software tools (e.g., photogrammetry, georeferencing)
• A degree or diploma in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Aviation, Geomatics, Engineering, or a related field is highly preferred
• First Aid Certification
• Willingness to travel frequently across US for client projects and site-specific operations
