About the role

Robinson Helicopter Company in Torrance, California, is seeking an Experimental Flight Test Pilot to contribute to development and certification of widely used civil rotorcraft. You will plan, execute, and analyze flight tests, acting as PIC and leading test teams in complex projects. The role requires substantial RW test pilot experience, FAA pilot certificates, and strong communication, risk management, and project leadership capabilities. Expect irregular hours and periodic travel as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
