Conduct pre-flight equipment checks, including batteries, sensors, camera systems, and communication links. Provide comprehensive mission reports, including flight logs, data analysis, and actionable insights for clients. Qualifications: Valid Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permission, including Part 107, Part 135 (if applicable), and any specific local or state requirements. Minimum 3 years of professional drone piloting experience in complex operations. Extensive experience with drone platforms such as DJI Matrice, Phantom, Inspire, or custom-built UAS. Proven track record of flying drones for commercial applications in sectors like surveying, mapping, infrastructure inspection, or agriculture. Experience in working within restricted airspace and coordinating with aviation authorities (ATC). Strong knowledge of geospatial software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, Pix4D, Agisoft) and drone flight management tools (e.g., DJI Terra, Litchi). Expertise in flying drones in diverse environments (urban, rural, industrial, hazardous). Strong knowledge of drone flight systems, payloads (e.g., LiDAR, RGB cameras, multispectral sensors), and sensor calibration. Familiarity with international regulations regarding drone operations, especially in the United States. Problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues in the field. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for mission planning, data management, and safety protocols. Preferred Qualifications: High proficiency in data post-processing techniques and software tools (e.g., photogrammetry, georeferencing). A degree or diploma in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Aviation, Geomatics, Engineering, or a related field is highly preferred. First Aid Certification. Willingness to travel frequently across the US for client projects and site-specific operations.
