UAV Test Pilot

As a UAV Test Pilot at DeltaQuad, you are responsible for testing and validating our UAV systems before they are ready for operational use.

Your focus is on structured, hands-on testing. You prepare and conduct test flights, evaluate how our systems perform in different conditions and identify behaviour, deviations or technical issues that require further attention.

This means doing more than simply flying the aircraft. You understand what you are testing and why, closely observe how the system responds and use flight data, telemetry and your own observations to build a clear picture of its performance.

You work closely with Engineering and Production, providing them with practical and accurate feedback from testing. When something does not behave as expected, you investigate, reproduce the issue where possible and help determine what needs to happen next.

From VTOL and transition behaviour to flight stability, sensors and integrated systems, your testing helps us continuously improve the reliability, safety and performance of DeltaQuad UAVs.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare and execute UAV test flights for system and performance validation

• Test UAV functionality across different flight phases, configurations and operational conditions

• Perform functional checks and calibrations as part of test preparation and validation

• Monitor aircraft behaviour during testing and identify deviations or unexpected system behaviour

• Analyse flight logs, telemetry and other test data to investigate findings

• Troubleshoot and reproduce technical issues identified during testing

• Document test results, findings and observations clearly and consistently

• Provide practical feedback to Engineering and Production and support follow-up testing after changes or improvements

• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of test procedures and protocols

• Ensure all flight testing is conducted safely and in accordance with operational procedures and applicable regulations
