Flytrex is revolutionizing on-demand delivery using drones, working hand in hand with some of the world’s largest retailers and restaurant chains, Flytrex is turning science fiction into reality.
As we continue expanding our operations, we’re looking for a Flight Test & Integration Engineer (Entry-level) with a mechanical or robotics background to help bring our next-generation delivery drones to life.
In this role, you’ll bridge the gap between design and real-world performance - preparing, executing, and analyzing flight and system tests. You’ll facilitate the multi-disciplinary system development process for Flytrex's drone delivery service and take part in hardware and mechanical integration, field testing, troubleshooting, and system validation.
If you enjoy hands-on work, field testing, and making complex systems come together - this is for you.
Must be a maker at heart with a hands-on attitude.
Responsibilities:
- Plan and execute lab and field integration testing of drone systems, including mechanical, electronic, and software components.
- Participate in the design, assembly, and bring-up processes of prototype and production hardware.
- Analyze test results, identify root causes, and support engineering teams with clear technical feedback.
- Work closely with mechanical, electronics, software, product, regulations and flight operations teams to ensure smooth system integration.
- Support continuous improvement of test processes, safety protocols, and documentation.
- BSc in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or Robotics Engineering (or convince us why you don’t need it).
- 2–4 years of hands-on experience in multidisciplinary projects.
- Working familiarity with the relevant engineering disciplines: electronics, mechanics, and software.
- Strong mechanical and system-level understanding - from CAD and assembly to sensors and actuators.
- Excellent teamwork/interpersonal skills in pursuing development and investigation efforts.
- Comfortable working outdoors.
- Strong teamwork and communication abilities in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Advantages:
- Experience with UA systems, robotics platforms, or flight testing.
- Familiarity with ArduPilot or other open-source flight controllers.
- Coding or capabilities(Python/C++).
- Experience with instrumentation, data logging, or mechanical testing tools.

What We Do
In a nutshell, Flytrex is building the world's first drone based delivery service - cutting delivery costs and times by an order of magnitude in an (almost) infinite market.
Flytrex Aviation Ltd was established in Israel in late 2013.
In August 2017 Flytrex launched the world’s first fully operational, regulatory approved, on-demand drone delivery service in Reykjavik, Iceland, and became the leading competitor in the race to deploy a true on-demand delivery service via autonomous vehicles. The Flytrex system was approved by ICETRA (Iceland’s Civil Aviation Authority) and insured, and set precedent after being granted approval to operate BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) and above populated regions, in a first world country. Flytrex was also selected to participate in the FAA’S Drone Pilot Program, partnering with North Carolina’s Department of Transportation and taking on the challenge to establish the first drone based delivery service in the United States.
While the majority of packages that require transit across cities are no heavier than 2lbs, Flytrex drones are able to carry up to 6.5lbs and travel a distance of approximately 6 aerial miles. The drones require minimal handling thus reducing manpower, and ensuring a quick delivery every single time.
