Fixed Wing UAV Pilot

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.

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

Run detailed pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight checks on every sortie

Maintain accurate flight logs and incident reports, and surface issues that feed back into design and QC

Coordinate with the ground crew and with engineering and composites teams at the field site

Perform basic field troubleshooting of the UAV and ground control station, plus basic composite/airframe repairs

Operate in compliance with DGCA regulations and site-specific restrictions

Contribute to flight SOPs and operational workflows, and help train new pilots as the program scales
