Blue Bear enjoys an excellent reputation in unmanned systems R&D. Our cutting edge development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) spans systems of all types and sizes, from fixed wing micro air vehicles, to tactical rotorcraft concepts, to the US Army's Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle, a Tier 1 behemoth of the skies. Over time we have taken care to nurture and develop a truly multi-disciplinary team with a finely tuned balance of scientific and engineering expertise - we talk the talk AND walk the walk. And, bucking the economic trend, Blue Bear is growing. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity and have the appropriate skills, please respond to the relevant opening below.

 

Note that each position lists skills deemed desirable for the post. You are not expected to have demonstrated all the skills listed, nor are you expected to be an unmanned systems “insider” – Blue Bear prizes professionalism, initiative and the ability and willingness to learn very highly.

 

Please note that, for technical positions, you will be expected to take responsibility for your work extending from your desk, to the lab, to flight trial. This is one of the many perks of working in a rapid development environment: you will literally get to see your ideas take flight.
