Full Job Description

About Poseidon Aerospace:

Poseidon Aerospace is reimagining how the world moves goods. We build and operate full-size autonomous cargo aircraft; Heron, a seaplane, and Egret, a STOL aircraft; each capable of carrying two tons of payload over a thousand nautical miles. From remote communities to contested logistics operations, our platforms unlock a new cost curve for air freight, making it faster, cheaper, and accessible anywhere it's needed. Headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Washington, DC and Maine, we're a small team building something consequential.

As a Pilot at Poseidon Aerospace, you will serve as the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) for our next-generation autonomous aircraft. Flying is your primary function, you own the aircraft from preflight to post-flight, and when you're not in the air, you're supporting the test team on the ground to make sure the next flight is ready to go.

This role is for pilots first. You bring deep UAS operational experience, sharp situational awareness, and the discipline to run repeatable test operations safely. The engineering curiosity is a bonus, stick time is the foundation.

Flying responsibilities

Serve as RPIC for all Poseidon aircraft during developmental flight testing and operational demonstrations
Execute flight test cards with precision, maintaining awareness of vehicle state, airspace, and test objectives throughout each sortie
Lead preflight briefings and postflight debriefings with the test team
Conduct flight readiness reviews and make go/no-go decisions based on aircraft status, weather, and airspace conditions
Maintain and apply SOPs, emergency checklists, and crew resource management practices on every flight
Provide structured debrief reports including anomalies, out-of-limits observations, and qualitative flight assessment

Ground support responsibilities

When not flying, you'll work alongside the test team to keep operations moving.

Support ground operations, range setup, and communications infrastructure for test campaigns
Assist in developing and maintaining flight test plans, SOPs, and operational documentation
Coordinate airspace authorizations, COA applications, and range scheduling
Review flight data logs to flag anomalies and provide pilot perspective to engineering teams
Help configure and verify aircraft systems prior to flight, working alongside avionics and propulsion engineers
Contribute to the development of operational concepts for autonomous and remote-piloted missions

Required qualifications

Demonstrated experience as RPIC for UAS or RPAS platforms in operational or test environments
FAA Part 107 certification; familiarity with COA processes and experimental aircraft operations
FAA Part 61 or Part 141 certificated pilot (Private, Commercial, or ATP) with multi-engine privileges
Strong working knowledge of airspace coordination, mission planning, and preflight risk assessment
Ability to execute disciplined, repeatable test operations in dynamic field environments
Clear, structured communicator — comfortable leading briefs and debriefs with mixed engineering and operations audiences
At ease with evolving aircraft configurations and startup-level operational tempo

Bonus points for

RPIC experience on large or complex UAS platforms (Group 3–5, e.g., Reaper, Global Hawk, or comparable)
Familiarity with telemetry systems, GCS interfaces, and autopilot behavior in test configurations
Experience supporting field test campaigns for new or developmental aircraft platforms
Exposure to flight test instrumentation, data logging, or postflight analysis workflows
Knowledge of simulation environments used for mission rehearsal or systems testing
Aerospace, systems, or mechanical engineering background

What you’ll get from us

Competitive salary and meaningful early-stage equity
Relocation support if applicable
Health insurance and 401(k) matching
Unlimited PTO
Free lunches, snacks, and a stocked fridge at our offices
Covered access to AI tools and subscriptions

Even if you don't meet every qualification listed, we encourage you to apply. At Poseidon Aerospace, we value diverse perspectives and are always looking for talented individuals with unconventional backgrounds.
