Role summary

We are seeking an experienced Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and corporate functions. The ideal candidate will partner with hiring managers to develop effective recruiting strategies, source and engage high-quality candidates, and build strong talent pipelines. This role requires a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach with a proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. You will also contribute to improving our recruiting processes, candidate experience, and employer brand. A minimum of 5 years of recruiting experience, preferably in technical, manufacturing, aerospace, robotics, or drones, is required.

Unusual Machines is a U.S.-based drone and drone parts company focused on the small and First-Person View (FPV) segments of the drone market. Our brands - Rotor Riot, Fat Shark, Rotor Lab and - coming soon - Upgrade Energy - are some of the most respected names in FPV and have helped shape the industry through e-commerce, product development, and a deep connection with the pilot community.

We’re expanding into enterprise and defense - bringing our obsessive attention to performance, design, and U.S.-based manufacturing into high-stakes environments like search and rescue and military innovation. With several of our products already approved by the Defense Innovation Unit, we’re solving procurement issues for customers who demand speed, agility, and compliance.

If you love working at the intersection of community, content, and cutting-edge technology, you’ll feel right at home here.

  • What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in a technical, manufacturing, aerospace, robotics, drones, or similarly complex environment.
  • Proven success recruiting across both technical and non-technical functions.
  • Strong full-cycle recruiting and sourcing skills.
  • The ability to build credibility and strong partnerships with hiring managers at all levels.
