About The Position

We're looking for a technical fleet manager for our Platform 2, someone who tracks every aircraft across test, production, and field sites, and builds the internal tooling to ensure operational readiness. You have a strong focus on using data to draw operational insights. You will maintain the live source of truth for every vehicle's config, health, and allocation, while partnering with engineering and ops teams to surface insights, highlight risks, and drive utilization.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has experience with data analytics and wants to apply that practically to a real, scaling operational environment. Whether you come from aviation, autonomous vehicles, robotics, or automotive systems, your understanding of complex hardware/software platforms, distributed operations, and data-informed decisions will be critical to enabling high-reliability, scalable deployment.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in fleet management, autonomous vehicle operations, robotics deployment, aerospace systems, or automotive logistics
Demonstrated ability to manage high-value, software-enabled hardware systems across distributed operations, use of SQL and Python to drive dashboards and tooling for system management
Experience building or maintaining fleet dashboards (e.g., Tableau, Looker, custom monitoring tools)
Familiarity with telemetry systems, health monitoring platforms, or vehicle fleet data
Proven success navigating cross-functional environments-balancing engineering, ops, and business priorities
Strong project management and systems thinking capabilities
Comfort with ambiguity, change, and building structure where none exists
Ability to travel to flight test, production, and commercial sites (20%)

Nice To Haves

Background in UAS, FAA-regulated flight operations, or Part 135 commercial logistics
Familiarity with digital twin systems, CMMS tools, or issue-tracking systems (e.g., Jira, internal tooling)
Exposure to hardware/software interface issues in real-time systems (e.g., robotics, EVs, drones, AVs)

Responsibilities

Maintain real-time insight into the location, configuration, status, and readiness of all deployed and test aircraft
Oversee aircraft deployment and reallocation plans-prioritizing readiness for operations, testing, or engineering use cases
Coordinate directly with maintenance, production, and field ops teams to ensure asset availability and serviceability
Own fleet health reporting and anomaly tracking systems-integrating telemetry and operational data to detect trends or systemic risks
Work cross-functionally to escalate, root-cause, and remediate vehicle-level or system-level degradation
Lead proactive initiatives to extend uptime, reduce turnaround time, and improve part reliability
Collaborate with software and data teams to design internal dashboards, health monitoring tools, and fleet analytics systems
Drive process automation and decision-support tooling based on insights from real-world operations-similar to FMS or AV fleet data platforms
Support configuration management and data integrity across all aircraft digital records
Develop Fleet allocation plans that align with fleet growth, launch targets, and business needs and provide clear delivery targets & schedules to facilitate production planning
Track key metrics like fleet utilization, flight hours, maintenance intervals, and mission success rates
Support engineering and technical validation efforts by allocating aircraft and facilitating test coverage
Establish and scale consistent processes for fleet intake, deployment, issue tracking, and cross-team handoffs
Document asset status and configuration histories to support audit readiness and regulatory compliance (FAA Part 135)
Ensure enterprise-wide access to fleet insights for strategic and tactical decision-making
