Serve as pilot in command, manual pilot, or safety pilot when qualified and designated for the operation.
Maintain manual piloting proficiency and respond appropriately to abnormal or degraded flight conditions.
Complete pre-flight and post-flight inspections, functional checks, and configuration verification.
Lead crew briefings and debriefings, apply crew resource management principles, and make clear go/no-go decisions.

Ground Control Station & Flight Systems

Configure and operate ground control stations for mission planning, aircraft monitoring, and flight execution.
Set up and monitor command-and-control links, telemetry, and associated ground equipment.
Identify and help troubleshoot aircraft, avionics, propulsion, navigation, and communications issues.
Provide practical feedback to engineering on flight systems and operator workflows.

Aircraft & Flight Test Analysis

Work with engineering to support aircraft setup, flight-control tuning, and configuration changes.
Review flight logs and telemetry to identify anomalies and assess aircraft performance.
Document test results, configuration changes, and recommendations for follow-up work.
Maintain accurate records of aircraft and software configurations used during testing.

Safety, Documentation & Compliance

Develop and maintain test cards, checklists, flight test reports, and normal and emergency procedures.
Contribute to operational risk assessments and regulatory submissions as required.
Maintain flight and technical records in accordance with company procedures and applicable Transport Canada requirements.
Participate in hazard and occurrence reporting and support the company’s Safety Management System.
Conduct flights only within the authorizations and responsibilities assigned by the Chief Pilot.

Program Support & Development

Help develop aircraft-specific training materials and support the training of other pilots and crew members.
Support flight testing and introduction of other RPAS platforms as required.
Provide operational input for customer demonstrations and technical proposals when needed.
Perform other duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably assigned by the Company from time to time.

EDUCATION QUALIFICATION

Education in aviation, aerospace engineering, mechatronics, or a related field is an asset. An equivalent combination of training and experience is welcome.
Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience manually operating RC aircraft, including RC helicopters and fixed-wing and/or multirotor platforms.
Demonstrated experience operating a ground control station for a complete RPAS, including mission planning, telemetry monitoring, and command-and-control link management.
Experience supporting aircraft setup or flight-control tuning and using flight logs or telemetry to investigate performance or technical issues.
Ability to plan and execute flights using documented procedures, checklists, and clear safety decisions.
Flight test experience, including test card development and structured envelope expansion, is an asset.
Experience with large uncrewed helicopters, heavy-lift RPAS, or optionally piloted aircraft is an asset.
Experience with other RC aircraft types and commercial or open-source autopilots and ground control software is an asset.
Experience with BVLOS operations, risk assessments, or SFOC-RPAS applications is an asset.

CERTIFICATIONS

Valid Transport Canada Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations is required.
Transport Canada Pilot Certificate – Level 1 Complex Operations, or the ability to obtain it, is an asset.
Restricted Operator Certificate with Aeronautical Qualification (ROC-A) is an asset.
A piloted-aircraft licence or experience in helicopter or fixed-wing aviation is an asset.

SKILLS

Strong manual RC helicopter piloting skills and sound understanding of rotary-wing flight dynamics.
Ability to analyze flight logs and telemetry to support troubleshooting and performance evaluation.
Working knowledge of aircraft electrical, avionics, propulsion, and communications systems.
Excellent documentation, organizational, and communication skills.
Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, or similar flight-data analysis tools is an asset.

ATRIBUTES

Sound airmanship and composure in dynamic flight situations.
Safety-focused and disciplined in following test procedures and limitations.
Analytical, mechanically inclined, and collaborative with engineering and maintenance teams.
Adaptable to changing test schedules and operational requirements.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT

Ability to work on-site in Vaughan and travel domestically and internationally as required.
Valid driver’s licence in good standing.
Ability to obtain travel documentation required for assigned trips.

HOURS OF WORK AND WORK ENVIRONMENT

Full-time, on-site position (40 hours per week). Flight testing may require early mornings, evenings, weekends, or overtime to accommodate test schedules and suitable weather.
Approximately 20–30% domestic or international travel may be required.
Work takes place in hangars and outdoor flight test environments and may involve noise, rotating machinery, fuels, batteries, and changing weather. Employees must use required protective equipment and follow all applicable safety procedures.
