Candidates must possess a Commercial drone pilot certification (EASA or equivalent), with additional certifications in safety or advanced drone technologies being a plus. They should have a proven track record as a drone pilot, demonstrating significant experience in collecting data for industrial, research, or AI-focused applications. Expertise in flying drones equipped with advanced sensors like LiDAR, thermal cameras, RGB cameras, and multispectral sensors is required, along with familiarity with autonomous flight, sensor integration, and machine learning workflows, particularly those involving real-time data processing. Strong understanding of how drone-collected data is used for AI training, including its role in training AI for perception, navigation, and decision-making is also necessary. Experience using flight planning software such as Pix4D, DroneDeploy, or similar platforms, and geospatial data analysis tools is beneficial.
The Drone Pilot will pilot drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, thermal imaging, and other sensors to collect diverse datasets used for training AI algorithms, particularly for autonomous navigation, computer vision, and sensor fusion. They will capture data in various real-world conditions, execute complex drone missions with precise data collection objectives, collaborate closely with AI engineers and autonomous systems teams, perform post-flight data quality checks, operate drones in both manual and autonomous modes, adhere to EASA regulations, and oversee drone maintenance and calibration. They will also contribute to the optimization of AI algorithms and advise on the use of drone-collected data for AI training.
