UAS Test Pilot – Defense Tech – California

Darwin Defense has been retained by a defense technology company developing next-generation unmanned systems for military and government customers. This is a high-growth business with a differentiated product and genuine momentum in the market.

The Role: We’re looking for an experienced UAS Test Pilot to join a lean, technically rigorous flight operations team.

Why This Opportunity:

  • Early-stage hire with real influence over how the test function is built
  • Engineering-led culture that values rigour alongside pace
  • Strong backing and a credible path to scale

What We’re Looking For:

  • Degree in Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline
  • Demonstrated experience operating fixed-wing or small UAS platforms, with a focus on autonomous systems
  • FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate
  • US Citizenship required (ITAR environment)
  • Comfortable working closely with engineering teams on performance and reliability feedback

On-site | California | $85,000 – $145,000
