Full job description

JOB POSTING — RPAS Pilot (Contract) Company: With A Thought Location: Guelph, Toronto, Ontario (field operations within GTA) Type: Subcontract / Contract, part-time Duration: 2–3 field days across a 2-month window (Months 3–4 of project) Compensation: $120/hr CAD

PROJECT

With A Thought is developing the Fusion Compliance Engine (FCE) — a deterministic sensor integrity system for autonomous aerial platforms. This is a Defence Research (DND IDEaS) funded project. We need a qualified RPAS pilot to execute structured flight test profiles for sensor validation and adversarial scenario testing.

This is not aerial photography or inspection work. This is research-grade flight testing on an open-architecture drone platform.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Operate as Pilot-in-Command for 2–4 structured flight sessions (4–6 total flight hours)
Execute pre-defined flight profiles: banked turns, altitude steps, antenna occlusion patterns, hover station-keeping, and GPS-denied navigation sequences
Coordinate with ground station operator (PI) who monitors real-time telemetry and FCE output
Pre-flight equipment checks, sensor array mounting and alignment on airframe, battery management
Post-flight data transfer and log verification

REQUIREMENTS

Mandatory:

Active Transport Canada RPAS Advanced Operations Certificate
Demonstrated experience on PX4 or ArduPilot open-architecture platforms
Comfortable with MAVLink telemetry and structured flight profiling
Able to operate from outdoor field sites in the GTA

Strong preference for:

Experience with Holybro/Pixhawk airframes (X500, Pixhawk 6X)
Background in academic or defence-adjacent UAS research
Familiarity with serial sensor integration (GPS, IMU, magnetometer)

Not suitable for:

Film, photography, or real estate drone operators without open-architecture flight controller experience

PLATFORM

Holybro X500 V2 quadcopter frame
Pixhawk 6X flight controller (PX4 firmware)
Custom sensor array: dual GPS, dual IMU, dual magnetometer, barometer
NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX companion computer onboard
All flights conducted within visual line of sight under Advanced RPAS rules

TIMELINE

Engagement finalized: Month 1 of contract (target: within 2 weeks of award)
Flight sessions: Months 3–4
Total commitment: 2–3 field days, flexible scheduling

TO APPLY

To this add.

Include:

RPAS certificate number and expiry
Summary of PX4/ArduPilot flight experience (if any)
Any relevant research or structured flight testing background

With A Thought is a Canadian-owned R&D firm based in Guelph, Ontario. This project is supported by the Department of National Defence Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program.

Pay: $80.00-$120.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
