UAV Calibration Technician / Test Pilot

As a UAV Calibration Technician & Test pilot at DeltaQuad, you play a key role in validating and optimising the performance of our UAV systems. You are responsible for preparing, executing, and analysing test activities for our VTOL drone platforms, ensuring reliable and consistent system behaviour across all operational scenarios.

You work at the intersection of engineering, production, and field operations. By conducting structured flight tests and calibration procedures, you verify the performance of flight control systems, propulsion systems, sensors, and payload integration.

You analyse flight logs and test data to identify opportunities for improvement and support engineering teams in refining system performance, reliability, and safety. Your work ensures that every system leaving production meets DeltaQuad’s high standards for operational performance.

You enjoy working hands-on with hardware, operating drones in real-world environments, troubleshooting technical challenges, and translating test results into actionable improvements.

Your work directly contributes to the reliability, safety, and operational capability of DeltaQuad UAV systems deployed worldwide.
