What are the responsibilities and job description for the Unmanned Traffic Management FSR position at OWT Global LLC?
Unmanned Traffic Management Field Service Representative
Position Summary
OWT Global is seeking a mission-driven and technically proficient Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) Field Service Representative (FSR) to support UTM operations and low-altitude airspace management at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB), FL. The selected candidate will provide on-site technical expertise to ensure the effective operation, integration, and sustainment of UTM systems in support of safe, compliant, and efficient unmanned aircraft operations across the installation.
The UTM FSR will be responsible for supporting the installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of UTM platforms and associated infrastructure, ensuring reliable system performance in both steady-state and dynamic operational environments. This role will directly support airspace coordination and situational awareness by enabling the management of cooperative UAS traffic and integration with external airspace data services, including flight authorization, Remote ID, and real-time airspace awareness tools.
The candidate will work closely with government stakeholders, airspace managers, and UAS operators to facilitate compliant flight operations, deconfliction, and airspace utilization in accordance with applicable FAA and DoD guidance. The UTM FSR will also support the integration of UTM capabilities with installation systems and, where applicable, provide coordination with air domain awareness and C-UAS systems to enhance overall airspace visibility and decision-making.
In addition to technical support, the UTM FSR will deliver user training, develop and refine standard operating procedures (SOPs), and provide reach-back coordination with engineering teams to resolve issues, implement updates, and support continuous system improvement.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong understanding of UAS operations, airspace management, and networked systems, with the ability to operate effectively in a field environment supporting mission-critical capabilities. Experience with UTM platforms, FAA airspace frameworks (e.g., LAANC, Remote ID), and integration of distributed systems is highly desired.
