Job description

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.

We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.

At Zone 5 Technologies, we rapidly develop and field advanced unmanned aircraft systems through disciplined integration, testing, and block upgrade strategies.

  • Define hardware and software integration standards
  • Ensure coexistence between hardware platforms and software feature development
  • Establish component-level integration workflows (e.g., radar altimeter, avionics modules)
  • Validate signals, timing, interfaces, compatibility and performance prior to aircraft installation
  • Define readiness criteria for transitioning features from HITL to aircraft
  • Develop structured ground test campaigns
  • Create block upgrade roadmaps for production aircraft
