About the Role
As a Flight Operations Engineer, you will be the bridge between our R&D lab and the operational field. You are responsible for the "last mile" of our technology: demonstrating capabilities to global defense partners, training end-users on complex autonomous systems, and conducting final field validation. This role requires a unique combination of elite piloting skills, hands-on hardware engineering and high degree of technical autonomy.
Responsibilities
- Plan and execute real-world test campaigns to validate performance, reliability, and edge-case behaviors of new hardware and software releases.
- Lead high-stakes live flight demonstrations for defense stakeholders, showcasing mission-specific capabilities in diverse environments.
- Deliver comprehensive training programs to ensure clients can safely and effectively operate Harmattan AI systems covering flight theory, autonomous mission planning, and emergency procedures.
- Work closely with hardware, software, and systems teams to support debugging and iteration based on test outcomes.
- Execute the deployment and the tactical logistics of autonomous systems, managing the end-to-end integration of command-and-control (C2) infrastructure and RF data links in complex, real-world environments to ensure 100% mission readiness.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of experience in flight operations, flight testing or validation on aerospace or robotic systems, or embedded robotics.
- Proven track record in the end-to-end assembly, integration, and maintenance of high-performance FPV, multicopters and/or Fixed-Wing systems.
- Wide engineering culture around flight dynamics, control systems, avionics, and/or RF systems.
- Detail-oriented with excellent documentation and organizational skills.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to motivate and guide teams toward success.
- Proven ability to simplify complex technical concepts for training and public presentations.
- Comfortable with a dynamic schedule that requires frequent international presence.
