- Enforce airspace, range, and safety protocols, and help maintain compliance with FAA and site regulations.
- Provide clear, structured feedback to engineers on system performance, failure modes, and edge cases.
- Support field deployments, including equipment transport, staging, and recovery.

- Strong situational awareness, sound judgment under pressure, and an uncompromising commitment to safety.
- Comfort working outdoors in varied conditions at a test range, with the ability to lift and transport equipment.

- Clear communicator who can document observations and collaborate closely with engineers.
- Must be a U.S. citizen (required for work on defense programs).
