Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Flight Operations Engineer manages the end-to-end process of taking solar-powered aircraft from the hangar to the sky, including site setup and flight operation. They are responsible for writing test plans, analyzing flight data, and troubleshooting mechanical or software issues in the field.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in an engineering field or equivalent military aviation experience, with at least 3 years of UAS or flight test experience. Candidates must possess strong Linux skills and the ability to make decisive judgments under pressure during flight operations.
Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace and what is possible from the sky. We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalable presence from this layer of the atmosphere.
The Flight Operations Engineer takes our aircraft from the hangar to the sky and back, and owns the technical depth behind every flight. You set up the test site, prepare the aircraft, run preflight, operate it in flight, and troubleshoot whatever comes up. You also write the procedures, configure the systems, and analyze the data that make each flight better than the last. When Icarus goes to the field, you are both the operator and the engineer in the loop.
Re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.
No tourists. No bystanders. Only builders.
$120,000 - $180,000 USD
