Flight Logging & Compliance : Maintain flight records, safety checklists, and ensure all operations are Part 107 compliant.

Ideal candidates will bring :

• Significant hands-on drone piloting experience and a valid Part 107 license

• Strong customer-facing skills and a passion for technology adoption

• A technical background with experience in troubleshooting and basic drone maintenance

• The ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills

• Willingness to travel frequently across the US and Canada
