Jobs at Inspired Flight

The Director of Finance will lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, cost control, accounting oversight, cash management, and executive reporting. Responsibilities include building three-statement models, managing department spending, analyzing manufacturing costs and margins, overseeing close and internal controls, mentoring accounting staff, and supporting investors, lenders, audits, and government contracting requirements. This in-office leadership role partners cross-functionally with operations, engineering, sales, and administration.

Designs, analyzes, prototypes, tests, and validates mechanical systems and components for UAV platforms. Develops performance improvements, conducts feasibility and cost analyses, prepares technical documentation, and supports manufacturing and assembly. Collaborates with design, manufacturing, and quality teams while applying CAD and finite element analysis tools. The role requires substantial mechanical engineering experience, preferably in UAS, aviation, aerospace, robotics, autonomy, or defense.

Designs low- and high-power electrical assemblies for unmanned aerial vehicles, including PCBA schematics, PCB layouts, embedded firmware, flight-control tuning, and system troubleshooting. The role includes bench and flight testing, design-for-manufacturing practices, secure component sourcing, and collaboration across engineering teams. Level I requires 0–2 years of experience, while Level II requires 2–5 years.

Leads electrical engineering for unmanned aerial systems, designing circuits, PCBs, power electronics, and embedded systems using microcontrollers and FPGAs. Responsibilities include schematic development, simulation, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, EMI resilience, design for manufacturability, motor-control integration, RF analysis, flight-control tuning, and cross-functional collaboration. The role also guides new technology development and engineering documentation for drone platforms.

Lead and mentor a team of software and test engineers developing, integrating, and validating UAV hardware and software systems. Provide technical guidance on architecture, code, DevOps, and drone testing; manage the software lifecycle from requirements through deployment; define integration and test requirements with product and hardware teams; and communicate scope, schedules, and risks.
