• Strong client communication, organization, troubleshooting, and project coordination skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage evolving priorities in a startup environment.

• Familiarity with FAA authorization and waiver processes.
• Experience coordinating vendors, installation contractors, or technical subcontractors.
• Background in technical consulting, customer implementation, or solutions engineering.

Responsibilities

• Understand customer workflows, operational challenges, budgets, and desired outcomes; identify where drone technology offers practical value and when another approach may be more suitable.
• Develop solution recommendations, from aircraft procurement to dock deployments and integrated automated workflows.
• Compare aircraft, payloads, docks, software, and service providers, considering compatibility, support, security, ongoing costs, and vendor dependence.
