Unmanned Aerial Systems Data Integration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Serving as Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) under FAA Part 107 for multirotor and fixed-wing UAS platforms up to 55 lbs
• Leading complex field logistics in rugged terrain
• Directly managing, configuring, and maintaining heavy-lift systems, specifically Harris Aerial Hybrid platforms built on the ArduPilot / Cube autopilot ecosystem
• Integrating, calibrating, and operating complex payload suites including LiDAR, Hyperspectral, Multispectral, and RGB video/imagery
• Building, maintaining, and automating processing pipelines using Python, C/C++, Java, and SQL to convert raw sensor captures into analytical outputs
• Utilizing Matlab/Simulink, STK, and FreeFlyer to model, simulate, and optimize flight dynamics and mission trajectories
• Applying SysML/UML principles using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools such as Magic Draw / Cameo to architect complex UAS and sensor architectures
• Conducting structural, thermal, or fluid dynamics analysis using the ANSYS suite and designing custom integration hardware using CAD software

Requirements

• High School Diploma/GED with 7+ years of progressively responsible experience in unmanned aviation, systems integration, or aerospace engineering fields
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with documented experience operating multirotor or fixed-wing UAS up to 55 lbs
• Hands-on experience with ArduPilot firmware, Mission Planner or QGroundControl, and open-source hardware, ex., Cube or Pixhawk architectures
• Experience writing code in software engineering languages such as: Python, C or C++, alongside practical exposure to Java and SQL
• Experience modeling, simulating, or analyzing aerospace systems using Matlab/Simulink, STK, FreeFlyer, SysML/UML tools, or other tools in the ANSYS suite
• Proven engineering experience manipulating and processing data from LiDAR, Hyperspectral, or Multispectral instruments
