Label and annotate collected data accurately together with the data and ML (Machine Learning) teams
Design, build, and test a drone rig for the acoustic characterisation of drones in an anechoic chamber
Travel across the city, the country, and the world to record exotic background ambient sounds
Work hand in hand with data engineers, ML engineers, and fellow flight test staff to make sure every test delivers what the team needs
Support test setup and teardown in the field, alongside other engineers

Bonus points for

Experience with drone operation or RC (Remote Control) piloting in conflict areas or frontline environments
A Master's degree in a related engineering discipline
Experience with data engineering or data structures
A background in aerospace, model aircraft, or similar hobbyist or professional flight experience

Benefits

Competitive Compensation: Highly competitive cash comp, along with virtual stock options, that reflect your experience and the value you bring
