UAV Pilot FPV & Multirotor Flight Test And Integration

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced UAV Pilot with strong hands-on expertise in FPV and multirotor UAVs to support UAV build, integration, configuration, flight testing, troubleshooting, and product development.

The candidate should combine strong flying skills with a solid technical understanding of flight controllers, firmware, propulsion, ESCs, batteries, GPS/GNSS, telemetry, communication systems, sensors and GCS.

Key Responsibilities

• Fly, demonstrate and flight-test small, medium and large FPV/multirotor UAVs in manual, assisted and autonomous modes.
• Build, configure, integrate, tune and test UAV platforms for product development.
• Configure Betaflight, ArduPilot, PX4, iNav or equivalent flight-control systems.
• Perform PID/rate tuning, firmware updates, parameter configuration and failsafe setup.
• Integrate motors, ESCs, propellers, batteries, GPS, telemetry, radios, cameras and payloads.
• Conduct pre-flight/ground checks and structured flight testing for stability, endurance, range and payload performance.
• Analyze flight logs and telemetry to troubleshoot vibration, tuning, GPS/EKF, ESC, battery, communication and control issues.
• Work closely with engineering teams to identify issues, implement corrective actions and optimise UAV performance.
• Maintain aircraft configuration, test records, flight logs and safety documentation.

Required Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of hands-on FPV/multirotor UAV experience.
• Proven experience flying high-speed FPV and small/medium/large multirotors.
• Strong practical experience in UAV assembly, configuration, tuning and troubleshooting.
• Flight-controller configuration and flight-log analysis are mandatory.
• Good knowledge of UAV electronics, propulsion, RC/telemetry, GPS/GNSS, IMU, EKF and GCS.
• Strong safety awareness and disciplined flight-test practices.
• Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Preferred

• Defence, aerospace, industrial UAV or professional flight-test experience.
• Experience with fixed-wing UAVs, autonomous navigation, payload integration and field trials.
• Familiarity with aerospace development standards such as DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160 and ARP4761A.

Education:

Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech in relevant engineering disciplines. Strong practical UAV experience may be considered in lieu of formal qualifications.
