Customer Success : Support clients throughout their journey—from onboarding and training to live mission execution—ensuring adoption, satisfaction, and long-term success.

Product Demonstrations : Conduct on-site demos and proof-of-concept flights to showcase capabilities and drive customer confidence.

Training & Enablement : Deliver in-depth, hands-on training to empower customer teams to operate the UAV platform safely and effectively.

Technical Support : Provide in-field and remote support, including first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and basic repairs.

Operational Oversight : Manage the Houston-based drone operations site, including inventory, logistics, and basic site coordination.

Flight Logging & Compliance : Maintain flight records, safety checklists, and ensure all operations are Part 107 compliant.

The Person

We’re looking for an experienced UAV operator with outstanding technical knowledge, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to thrive in dynamic, real-world environments.

Ideal candidates will bring :

• Significant hands-on drone piloting experience and a valid Part 107 license

• Strong customer-facing skills and a passion for technology adoption

• A technical background with experience in troubleshooting and basic drone maintenance

• The ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills

• Willingness to travel frequently across the US and Canada

• Experience in operational roles, including inventory management or projects, is a plus

• Familiarity with commercial UAV use cases in energy, infrastructure, or industrial sectors is advantageous
