Position: Lead UAV Test Pilot (Fixed-Wing VTOL & Manual RC)
Location: Manesar, Haryana
Experience: 4-6 years

About the Role
We are looking for an exceptionally skilled Fixed Wing VTOL UAV Test Pilot to join our flight testing team. The ideal candidate should possess outstanding manual flying skills and be capable of safely operating Fixed Wing VTOL UAVs and RC aircraft in Manual Mode under normal as well as abnormal flight conditions.
The role involves flight testing, system validation, flight data analysis, PID tuning, troubleshooting, and close collaboration with engineering teams to improve aircraft performance, reliability, and flight characteristics.
Formal education is not mandatory. Practical flying skills, hands-on technical knowledge, and real-world flight-testing experience are our highest priorities.

Key Responsibilities
• Perform manual flight testing of Fixed Wing VTOL UAVs and RC aircraft.
• Execute take-off, transition, cruise, mission, and landing safely in Manual Mode.
• Conduct prototype and production flight evaluations.




• Perform flight testing under GPS-denied and degraded-sensor conditions where required.
• Safely recover aircraft during system failures, flight anomalies, communication loss, sensor failures, or unstable flight conditions.
• Conduct PID tuning and flight-controller parameter optimization for secure, responsive, and efficient flight performance.
• Analyse flight logs, telemetry, and flight behaviour to identify issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Validate new hardware, avionics, sensors, payloads, communication systems, and software/firmware releases through flight testing.
• Diagnose flight behaviour and provide detailed technical feedback to engineering teams.
• Evaluate and troubleshoot sensors, communication systems, antennas, batteries, and flight controllers during flight testing.
• Conduct pre-flight inspections, mission planning, and post-flight debriefing.
• Maintain flight reports, logbooks, and testing documen
