Job Description:

Skydio is seeking a Flight Test Engineer focused on Device Platform systems – the mobile and controller interfaces that connect pilots to autonomy. This role treats the human–machine interface as flight-critical, ensuring that control software performs reliably, intuitively, and predictably in real-world operations. You’ll validate how customers interact with Skydio aircraft through mobile, controller, and handheld applications—testing workflows that span setup, flight, and recovery.

Job Responsibility:

  • Plan and execute UI/UX validation campaigns for new software releases and features
  • Design and run operator-in-the-loop flight tests to evaluate real-world usability and decision support
  • Validate mobile and controller UI performance during live and simulated flight operations
  • Create and automate smoke, regression, and sanity stress test suites for mobile control interfaces
  • Measure and report on flight health, latency, responsiveness, input accuracy, and recovery behavior
  • Identify human system interaction risks early and drive design and test mitigations
  • Evaluate new features for repeatability, clarity, and operational stability
  • Collect and analyze operator telemetry, logs, and screen recordings to guide design feedback
  • Test and validate Ground control station (GCS) and mobile application workflows
  • Test and validate Touch, gesture, and controller-based inputs
  • Test and validate Mission planning and in-flight UI transitions
  • Test and validate Alerts, warnings, and system state visibility
  • Test and validate Performance under degraded GPS, comms, or RF conditions
  • Test and validate Secure login, authentication, and access control flows
  • Test and validate 3rd-party software, device integrations, and peripherals
  • Test and validate Human factors in safety- and autonomy-critical behaviors
  • Test and validate Bring up of new controller devices and various platforms
  • Partner with product, mobile software developers, middleware embedded teams, and design to define UX validation requirements, establish operational success metrics, and maintain safe, test-ready aircraft and controller environments

Requirements:

  • Background in human factors, mobile UI/UX validation or design, flight testing, and/or real-world system testing
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across mobile, embedded, and networked systems
  • Experience with UAS operations and high-reliability operator workflows
  • Understanding of human factors, usability engineering, and cognitive workload
  • Familiarity with Linux and embedded platforms (not required)
  • Strong documentation and technical communication skills
  • Passion for aviation, autonomy, and human-centered system design
  • Flying a lot!
What we offer:
  • Equity in the form of stock options
  • Comprehensive benefits packages
  • Paid vacation time
  • Sick leave
  • Holiday pay
  • 401K savings plan
  • Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles
