FPV Flight Instructor at Neros Technologies, Remote (United States)

Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.

As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We’re hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years.

What you will be doing

As an FPV Flight Instructor, you’ll be a key member of the Mobile Training Team (MTT), working alongside a Field Instructor and reporting into the Training Lead. Your primary mission is to train and coach students—many of them new to FPV—on how to tactically fly Neros drones safely and effectively under real-world conditions.

You’ll deliver both classroom and field-based instruction, demonstrate advanced FPV maneuvers in acro mode while under pressure, and provide clear, objective evaluations of student performance. When not actively training, you’ll support the Training Lead in refining and improving course content and other user documentation to keep pace with evolving tactics, feedback, and system updates.

You should have the following

• Expert FPV Drone Pilot (acro mode)
• Experience in teaching, coaching or mentoring adults in a technical environment
• Experience in troubleshooting FPV drones
• Good understanding of UAV full system
• Expert at safety and risk assessment
• Experience with mechanical assembly
• Good documentation and communication
• High attention to detail
• Must be able to carry 50 lbs. of equipment over 5 km of varied terrain, stand for extended periods while wearing body armor, and tread water for a minimum of 10 minutes

Nice to have

• FAA Part 107 Certificate (strongly preferred) – must be willing to study and pass the Part 107 exam within 3 weeks of hire
• Prior military or tactical UAS experience

US Salary Range

• $75,750 – $83,500 USD
