Job Description

Job Description:

The Operational Safety Specialist will help build the operational safety framework required to move a next-generation autonomous aircraft from development and flight test into safe, repeatable field operations. This full-time role combines hands-on operational support with disciplined documentation, readiness assessment, and program development. The specialist will translate technical risk decisions into clear policies, procedures, safety evidence, and emergency response capabilities for demanding environments.

You will work closely with Airworthiness, System Safety, Flight Test, Engineering, Ground Operations, Security, Facilities, and Program leadership to identify operational hazards, maintain safety documentation, and close readiness gaps. This role is ideal for an aviation safety professional who can move between the flightline and the written safety baseline, manage multiple priorities, and build practical processes that keep pace with a rapidly evolving aircraft program.
