Full Job Description

FPV Drone Operator / Test Pilot
eyesAtop · Northern New Jersey test facility (field travel required) · Full-time · $70,000–$100,000+/yr

About eyesAtop

eyesAtop builds the battle-proven operating platform for multi-drone forces, across any vendor and any mission. Our system lets a single operator coordinate multiple drones across manufacturers, mission types, and contested environments, and it's backed by more than 500,000 frontline operational hours. As we expand our U.S. operations, we're hiring an FPV drone operator to fly, test, and demonstrate our platform in the field.

The Role

You'll be the stick. This is a hands-on flying position: piloting FPV aircraft in manual/acro mode for testing, integration, and live demonstrations; putting new airframes, payloads, and software builds through their paces; and telling our engineers exactly what the aircraft is doing and why. You'll be based at our New Jersey test facility with regular travel to field and flight sites. On non-testing days, you'll work R&D at the facility alongside the engineering team, building and tuning aircraft, integrating new hardware and software, and turning what you learned in the air into product improvements.

What you'll do:

Fly FPV aircraft (manual/acro mode) for test flights, system integration, and customer demonstrations
Execute structured flight test plans and document results. You'll notice and report subtle performance issues in aircraft, radio links, and video systems
On non-testing days, contribute to R&D at our NJ test facility: prototype builds, hardware/software integration, bench testing, and iterating with engineering on findings from flight tests
Build, repair, and maintain quads: soldering, component swaps, firmware configuration, and tuning
Review your own DVR footage and flight logs to support engineering feedback
Support field operations and demos, including travel to off-site locations

What We're Looking For

Required:

Expert FPV flying in full manual/acro mode (goggles + line-of-sight). This is a hands-on testing and R&D role, not a cinematic or GPS-assisted camera drone position.
2+ years of hands-on FPV experience (professional or serious hobbyist/competitive racing/freestyle counts)
Comfortable building and repairing 5-inch-class and similar quads
FAA Part 107 certificate, or willingness to obtain within 90 days (we'll cover it)
U.S. citizenship (required for this position)
Willingness to travel to field/test sites

Strongly preferred:

Military experience, especially UAS operations (Army 15W, SUAS operator, Raven/Puma/Switchblade, or Group 1–2 UAS platforms)
Experience flying in degraded conditions: no GPS, contested RF, and night operations
Soldering and electronics troubleshooting; INAV/ExpressLRS familiarity
Instruction or demo experience. You can teach others to fly and represent the product live.

How to Apply

Send us:

Your resume
DVR footage or a flight reel. This is the most important part of your application. Show us raw acro flying, not cinematic edits.
A few sentences on what you fly (frames, FC/firmware, radio link) and how long you've been flying

Our process: footage review → interview → simulator tryout (Velocidrone or Liftoff) → paid live flight assessment → offer. We move fast for pilots who can fly.

Compensation: $70,000–$100,000+/yr depending on experience, plus benefits.

eyesAtop is an equal opportunity employer. U.S. citizenship is required for this role due to the nature of the work.

Pay: $60,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance

Work Location: In person
