Lead drone technology strategy, hardware development and production scale-up, coordinating global partners and building Terra Drone’s engineering organisation.
About this role
Terra Drone is recruiting an FPV drone pilot for its defence and government-facing UAV and robotics business. The position works across teams and with the business lead to assess practical operation and contribute feedback for product development.
Responsibilities include test flights, operational checks, technical and usability improvement proposals, and drone maintenance and management. The posting frames the role around making products usable in the field and supporting the business’s implementation capability.
FPV drone flying experience is mandatory, but professional experience is not: applicants who have flown privately are eligible. Maintenance experience, first- or second-class unmanned aircraft pilot qualifications and participation in drone competitions are preferred. The Tokyo-based role offers an indicative annual salary of ¥3.5–5 million, including 45 hours of fixed overtime with excess paid separately. Flexitime and home working under company rules are listed.
