Job description

TeleBortiX is building state-of-the-art airborne systems.

You will be the hands that keep the lab moving. This is a shared role - you support every team in the shop: aerodynamics, structures, design, and production. One day that's helping lay up a composite part; the next it's setting up a test rig, tending the print farm, or making sure the shelves are stocked and the logs are current. It's an early-career role built for someone hands-on, careful, and hungry - you'll pick up composites, machining, 3D printing, and test work on real airborne hardware, and grow into a specialist as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Fabrication support: assist composite builds - prep moulds, cut and kit plies, mix resin, help with layup, bagging, and demoulding, then trimming and finishing.
• Print farm: load, monitor, and change material on the 3D printers, and post-process the parts.
• Machining & bench: workholding help, deburring, and finishing, and keeping machines and benches clean and maintained.
• Test support: help the aero and structures teams set up and run bench and rig tests - mount specimens, wire up basic instrumentation, and log data.
• Inventory & consumables: keep raw stock and consumables stocked and logged, receive deliveries, flag low stock, and pull kits and BOMs for builds.
• Records: maintain the logs that matter - material lot and out-time records, cure logs, and job travelers - accurately, and without being chased.
• Housekeeping & safety: keep the lab clean, organised, and safe - PPE, waste handling, and following process every time.
• General support: be the reliable pair of hands any team in the lab can call on.

Requirements

Candidates should meet three of the five criteria below to apply.

• Hands-on aptitude - you've built, fixed, or made things, whether at work, in school, or as a hobby.
• Some exposure to any of: composites, machining, 3D printing, electronics/test, or general fabrication.
• Careful, methodical, and organised - you understand that logs and inventory only work if they're done right.
• Comfortable with shop safety and following a process exactly.
• Genuinely eager to learn the craft and grow.

Note: We welcome recent graduates, ITI / diploma holders, and self-taught makers. If you're short on formal experience but clearly hands-on and hungry, make the case in your application note.

Strongly preferred

• Any composites, 3D-printing, or machine-shop experience - school, internship, or personal.
• Comfort with hand and power tools.
• Basic electronics - wiring, soldering, sensors - useful for test-rig support.
• A personal building habit: drones, RC, robotics, motorsport, or maker projects.
• Basic measurement skills (calipers, gauges).
• First-aid or shop-safety awareness.

Org Structure

You will report directly to the Director, Engineering, and support the whole lab - aerodynamics, structures, design, and production alike. This is a shared role: you work for everyone in the shop.
