Test & Evaluation Operations Scheduler

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in precision weapons and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Our team of engineers and innovators are developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions to deliver affordable and scalable precision weapons, interceptors, and UAS. We're building the next generation of munitions and unmanned systems for the United States and its allies. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on defense technology, you belong here. At Zone 5 Technologies, the Test and Evaluation Operations Scheduler will coordinate the personnel, range access, facilities, equipment, and operational support required to execute flight-test activities across multiple programs. This role is highly detail-oriented, execution-focused, and communication-driven, working cross-functionally with Technical Program Managers (TPMs), Test and Evaluation, Engineering, Operations, Logistics, Safety, Security, and external test-site personnel to develop and maintain an integrated flight-test schedule. The Test and Evaluation Operations Scheduler will translate program forecasts into executable operating plans, identify personnel and resource conflicts, coordinate range and test-site requirements, and maintain clear schedule visibility across the organization. In this role, you are expected to operate with strong ownership and attention to detail, ensuring upcoming operations are coordinated early, conflicts are identified before they impact execution, and schedule changes are communicated clearly and quickly.
