Field Leadership & Client Collaboration
Lead, coordinate, and mentor a field crew (2-6 persons, scalable by show size) in setup, launch pad deployment, payload staging, and teardown.
Act as the technical ambassador on site-interface with clients, venue staff, and regulatory/venue authorities.
Troubleshoot live system anomalies, assess go / no‑go decisions, and abort show segments when necessary to protect safety and reputation.
Maintenance & Operational Readiness
Conduct field inspections, minor repairs, and triage RMA processes; support keeping the drone fleet in show‑ready condition.
Update, refine, and enforce SOPs, checklists, and safety protocols; train newer pilots/crew on best practices and risk management.
QUALIFICATIONS:

Preferred
