Careers

System Technical System Diagnostics, Repair & Integration:

• End-to-End Diagnostics: Perform deep-level troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on malfunctioning "Drone-in-a-Box" (DiB) hardware and auxiliary equipment.
• Precision Repair: Execute complex hardware restorations—including component replacement, soldering, cleaning, and lubrication—to meet factory-grade specifications.
• System Upgrades: Lead hardware and firmware enhancements across the workshop inventory, specializing in camera payloads and critical internal avionics.
• Software Proficiency: Utilize a diverse technical stack, including Linux, Flight Controller/Stabilizer GUIs, and task management tools (Jira, Monday.com, Confluence), to facilitate daily workflows.

System Testing & Quality Assurance:

• Operational Validation: Act as the lead operator for system validations, test flights, and Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) for Percepto’s autonomous solutions.
• Log Analysis & Optimization: Analyze system logs and flight data to identify performance anomalies, troubleshoot flight issues, and improve overall system reliability.
• Quality Control (QC): Verify that all hardware components and finished repairs meet strict reliability standards and safety protocols prior to deployment.
• Process Improvement: Collaborate with engineering and workshop teams to refine testing protocols and provide feedback based on field performance findings.

Fleet Reliability & Operations:

• Lifecycle Maintenance: Manage preventative maintenance for the operating fleet and local inventory, ensuring drones and base stations are mission-ready.
• Deployment Support: Monitor and provide remote technical support for preventative maintenance tasks on systems currently deployed in the field.
• Data Integrity: Maintain meticulous, real-time records of all maintenance, repairs, and test results to ensure 100% documentation accuracy.
• Stakeholder Communication: Provide transparent status updates on repair timelines and asset availability to internal stakeholders.

Workshop Stewardship & Safety:

• Asset & Inventory Control: Oversee workshop tools, consumables, and equipment inspections; initiate purchase orders to ensure zero operational downtime.
• Safety Leadership: Ensuring strict adherence to FAA, OSHA, and company regulations, including the safe operation of heavy machinery (forklifts).
• Workspace Optimization: Maintain a lean and orderly workshop environment to maximize productivity and cultivate a safe working climate.

• Certifications: A current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is required.
• 1–2 years of experience operating drones or complex autonomous systems.
• 1–2 years of hands-on experience in drone assembly, electrical/mechanical repair, and quality testing.
• Ability to analyze system logs to extract performance insights and identify flight anomalies.
• Proficiency in task management platforms (e.g., Jira, Monday.com) and a commitment to meticulous documentation.
• Safety & Compliance: Working knowledge of OSHA material handling and storage standards; prior experience operating a forklift.
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across mechanical, electrical, and integrated software systems.
• Proficiency in basic to advanced soldering; micro-soldering experience is a significant advantage.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical schematics with high precision.
• Competency in Linux, Shell, Python, or Bash operations; familiarity with flight controller GUI tools.
• Ability to work independently and maintain high precision in documentation and repair within ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and status reporting.
• Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 70 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform physical tasks (kneeling, bending, crawling) in both workshop and field settings.
• Location & Travel: Primarily based at the Florida office with minimal travel requirements.
