About The Position

Flytrex is seeking a field-focused Site Launch & Deployment Manager to lead the delivery of physical infrastructure for its drone delivery stations across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Based at the company’s headquarters in Pilot Point, Texas, this role owns station launches from site approval through energization and first flight. The work involves building launch-ready drone hubs with substantial power requirements, including high-capacity chargers, cameras, RTK systems, and utility service or industrial generators. The manager leads site readiness, electrical construction, municipal permitting, vendor and partner coordination, hardware integration, commissioning, and operational handoff. The role requires working directly in the field, managing contractors and fixed launch deadlines, and supporting occasional early-morning or weekend launch and energization windows. It is a high-visibility position building Flytrex’s physical infrastructure footprint and addressing power challenges involving aerospace, micro-utilities, and EV charging.
