Job description
We’re hiring a Drone Operator to support our unmanned aerial systems (UAS) programs and ensure our platforms are ready to execute in the field. A Drone Operator is responsible for the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and readiness of Scout’s aerial robotics and support equipment.
You’ll spend most of your week in the field, conducting flight tests, operating drones in diverse mission scenarios, and keeping our fleet in peak condition. This role is highly hands-on: you’ll be flying, troubleshooting, repairing, updating software, and ensuring that we’re conducting flights in mission-relevant conditions. Your work is the backbone that enables flight testing, data collection, and rapid iteration on cutting-edge autonomy.
We’re a startup. You’ll be moving fast, context-switching daily, and helping define the culture and process as we go. This is a rare opportunity to come in early and architect the future of defense.
Why Join Us!
We do so primarily through the DOD SkillBridge Program, which provides opportunities for transitioning service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. Companies can experience two (2) to six (6) months of no-cost work from the service member, while the service member receives compensation and benefits from the DOD.
By partnering with mission-driven organizations to provide meaningful opportunities, Five and Fly, LLC aims to prevent veteran suicide in the five years following military separation by empowering veterans to find fulfillment in their civilian careers. We serve service members and their civilian employers with intentionality, unconventionality, and longevity in mind.
