About the role

Drone System Validation Technician and Pilot responsible for preparing and operating autonomous drone systems in real-world test campaigns, flying drones, and translating field feedback into engineering action.

Responsibilities

  • Test support: Work alongside the validation engineer to prepare, set up and run test campaigns; build and prepare the tooling, fixtures and test setups needed to get a campaign off the ground.
  • Flight operations: Pilot our drones during tests and act as safety operator, from routine flights to more demanding campaigns.
  • Field deployment: Set up the test site from scratch, load and prepare the test vehicle/truck, deploy and connect the systems under test and run the campaign safely.
  • Test execution & reporting: Run test protocols and checklists rigorously, and report results, anomalies and their frequency clearly so engineering can act on them.
  • Hands-on preparation & upkeep: Prepare, assemble, repair and upgrade the equipment you fly and test (soldering, wiring, mechanical assembly, part replacement) to keep campaigns moving.

Qualifications

  • Technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience in electronics, mechanics, or RC modeling.
  • Confirmed drone pilot.
  • Strong manual and technical skills: soldering, wiring, mechanical assembly, and comfort troubleshooting hardware in the field; CAD and 3D printing skills are a strong plus.
  • Organized, rigorous, and safety-conscious, with hands-on/DIY mindset and eagerness to learn our systems; able to maintain consistency across repetitive test cycles.
  • Comfortable working outdoors and physically active work, including loading a vehicle and spending full days in the field in all weather.
  • Basic Linux familiarity is a plus (operating systems, logs); basic understanding of flight-computer/autopilot systems is a bonus.
  • Willingness to travel and a valid driving licence: frequent local field campaigns.
  • English at a working level (A2 minimum). French or Arabic is a plus.
