Job Description

Vermeer is looking for a UAS Flight Test Operator to join our team. In this role, you will be an essential part of the validation process for our next gen of GPS-denied navigation. Your responsibilities will include flying, maintaining, developing, and testing alternative navigation products on multiple UAS platforms.

Drone operations will consistent primarily of Group 1-3 fixed wing UAS. Collaboration with our engineering team will be crucial as you plan, execute, and report on test activities. Success in this role hinges on your ability to adapt to new requirements and manage flight operations across multiple projects.

The ability to interpret technical documentation and integrate payloads onto aircraft is essential, as is hands-on experience with small power tools, lab test equipment, soldering, and custom wiring harnesses. Familiarity with basic electronics and troubleshooting (multimeter, oscilloscope etc) is a huge plus.

This is a full-time, in-person position out of our Brooklyn, NY office. A relocation stipend will be offered.
