Customer Success Specialist

Unusual Machines is a U.S.-based drone and drone parts company focused on the small and First-Person View (FPV) segments of the drone market. Our brands - Rotor Riot and Fat Shark - are two of the most respected names in FPV and have helped shape the industry through e-commerce, product development, and a deep connection with the pilot community. We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance. If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here. You in This Role As a Customer Success Specialist at Unusual Machines, you will serve as a key connection point between our customers and our brands—supporting both consumer enthusiasts and enterprise partners across Rotor Riot, Fat Shark, and our broader ecosystem.
