  • Hands-on experience flying and maintaining FPV drones (manual/acro flight required)
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical topics and work closely with end-users
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to diagnose and solve technical issues efficiently
  • Collaborative mindset, with the ability to work independently while taking direction from a more senior lead
