• Develop test procedures, collect data during test flights, and validate product performance in live trials
• Label and annotate collected data accurately together with the data and ML (Machine Learning) teams
• Design, build, and test a drone rig for the acoustic characterisation of drones in an anechoic chamber
• Travel across the city, the country, and the world to record exotic background ambient sounds
• Work hand in hand with data engineers, ML engineers, and fellow flight test staff to make sure every test delivers what the team needs
• Support test setup and teardown in the field, alongside other engineers

What you bring

• Hands-on experience with FPV (First-Person View) flights and/or model aircraft
• Strong technical knowledge paired with a practical, hands-on approach
• Comfortable building and following structured test and data collection procedures
• Detail-oriented, careful, and consistent when collecting and labeling data
• A genuine team player who enjoys working closely with other engineers
• EU work authorization

Bonus points for

• Experience with drone operation or RC (Remote Control) piloting in conflict areas or frontline environments
• A Master's degree in a related engineering discipline
• Experience with data engineering or data structures
• A background in aerospace, model aircraft, or similar hobbyist or professional flight experience

• Competitive Compensation: Highly competitive cash comp, along with virtual stock options, that reflect your experience and the value you bring
• Accelerated Learning & Growth: Join a fast-paced environment where you'll take on real responsibility, overcome meaningful challenges, and grow alongside a driven team
• Make a Real Impact: Play a key role in shaping Omnisent's journey and contribute directly to the success of the company
