Field Application Engineer (UAV Flight Testing)

Responsibilities

Integration and flight testing (primary)

• Integrate autonomy software onto customer and partner UAV platforms — flight controllers, companion computers, cameras, video links — and own the UA integration lab

• Plan and fly test campaigns for new software releases (fixed-wing primary); document results and reproduce/triage bugs with the Danish R&D team

• Establish safe, disciplined test procedures (SOPs, range coordination, incident reporting)

Commercial and customer support

• Support sales engagements as the technical counterpart: demos, live flights, proof-of-concept integrations, and technical Q&A

• Build a professional support function for customers and partners: clear channels, response times, escalation to the Danish team, and a knowledge base of integration guides

• Deliver activation, training, and technical onboarding for OEM customers

Team build-up (as we scale)

• Recruit, onboard, and lead integration, test, and support engineers in Ukraine

• Translate frontline and end-user feedback into concrete product requirements for the Danish development team

Requirements

• Fluent English and Ukrainian (spoken and written)

• Experienced, active drone pilot — confident piloting of a fixed-wing aircraft will be an extreme advantage; multirotor expected, FPV proficiency preferred

• Hands-on UAV integration experience: flight controllers (e.g., ArduPilot/PX4 or proprietary
stacks), companion computers, cameras, RF/video links

• Technically fluent across the hardware/software boundary: log analysis, firmware flashing,
basic scripting — able to hold your own with software engineers and write precise, reproducible bug reports

• Comfortable customer-facing: demos, training, and technical discussions with OEM engineers
and end users

• Willingness to travel within Ukraine and occasionally to Denmark

• Eligible to work with defence-related technology under applicable Ukrainian and EU rules

Strong Pluses

• Degree or equivalent experience in electronic engineering, mechatronics, or a related field

• Prior experience with defence UAV programs or military end users

• Experience leading a small technical team or setting up a support function

• Experience with computer-vision, autonomy, or AI-enabled payloads
