Original job description

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in precision weapons and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Our team of engineers and innovators are developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions to deliver affordable and scalable precision weapons, interceptors, and UAS.

We're building the next generation of munitions and unmanned systems for the United States and its allies. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on defense technology, you belong here.

We are seeking experienced Flight Test Engineers to assemble, certify, and fly groups 1 to 4 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). You will play a crucial role in the planning, execution, and analysis of flight tests for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). You will work with cross-functional teams to develop test plans, conduct flight tests, and ensure that UAV systems meet performance, safety, and reliability standards. This position requires a strong background in aerospace engineering, a deep understanding of UAV systems, and experience in flight testing.

Zone 5 maintains a weekly flight test cadence at test ranges local to the San Luis Obispo, CA area. In addition, there will be occasional flight test demonstration events at both CONUS and OCONUS locations that will require travel to support. Flight testing requires significant time spent outdoors in various weather conditions.

Responsibilities:

Test Planning and Coordination:

Develop detailed flight test plans, including objectives, methodologies, safety protocols, and resource requirements.
Collaborate with design engineers, systems engineers, and software developers to define test requirements and procedures.
Coordinate with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with all relevant aviation regulations and standards.

Flight Test Execution:

Conduct pre-flight inspections and system checks to ensure the readiness of UAVs for testing.
Lead or participate in the execution of flight tests, including piloting UAVs remotely if required.
Monitor and analyze flight data in real-time to ensure the achievement of test objectives.
Troubleshoot issues that arise during testing and implement corrective actions.

Data Analysis and Reporting:

Collect, analyze, and interpret flight test data to assess the performance of UAV systems.
Prepare comprehensive test reports documenting results, findings, and recommendations for design improvements.
Present findings to engineering teams, management, and external stakeholders.

Safety and Risk Management:

Implement and enforce safety protocols during all phases of flight testing.
Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies to ensure safe operations.
Lead post-test debriefs to identify lessons learned and incorporate them into future testing.

Continuous Improvement:

Contribute to the development and refinement of test methodologies and procedures.
Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in UAV flight testing.
Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to team members.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
5-8 years of experience in aerospace engineering, with at least 3-5 years in UAV flight testing or a closely related field.
Part 107 pilot preferred.
Proven experience in planning and conducting flight tests for unmanned systems.
Experience with data acquisition systems, telemetry, and flight control systems.

Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Proficiency in flight test software and simulation tools.
Knowledge of FAA regulations and airworthiness standards for UAVs.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Work Environment:

Primarily office-based with significant time spent at test sites
May include environments in hot, cold, and/or wet conditions.
May involve travel to various test locations and working in outdoor environments under various weather conditions.

Pay Range by Level:

Level III - $117,000 - $157,000

Level IV - $144,000 - $193,000

Pay range for this role

$117,000 - $193,000 USD

What's in it for you:

Benefits:

Competitive total compensation package
Comprehensive benefit package options include medical, dental, vision, life, and more.
401k with company-match
3 weeks of paid time off each year
40 hours of sick time
12 annual company holidays
