1. Position Summary

We are looking for a technically strong Fixed-Wing UAV Pilot & Flight Test Engineer who can combine excellent manual flying skills with a thorough understanding of UAV electronics, flight controllers, autopilot configuration and flight testing.

The candidate should be capable of independently handling the complete flight-test cycle of fixed-wing and fixed-wing VTOL UAVs, including aircraft configuration, manual flying, PID tuning, autopilot tuning, sensor calibration, integration testing, log analysis, troubleshooting and validation of the aircraft before release for operational use.





This is not purely a UAV pilot position. The candidate is expected to be an engineering-oriented test pilot capable of understanding the behaviour of the aircraft and diagnosing problems related to aerodynamics, flight-controller configuration, propulsion, sensors, communications and other onboard systems.

2. Key Responsibilities

A. Fixed-Wing & VTOL Flying
- Manually fly conventional fixed-wing UAVs.
- Manually fly fixed-wing VTOL UAVs.
- Conduct take-off, landing, circuit flying and emergency recovery.
- Perform safe transition testing between VTOL/hover and fixed-wing flight.
- Conduct maiden flights of newly developed UAV platforms.
- Evaluate aircraft stability, controllability and handling characteristics.
- Test aircraft under different payload, CG, wind and operating conditions.
- Conduct autonomous mission testing after successful manual-flight validation.
- Identify abnormal aircraft b
