Job description

Are you ready to be part of something big? Our company is building the future of wireless communication, sensors, and drones. Excellence here has all to do with teamwork, practical approach to problem solving, with the best theoretical support. KRUSH Labs designs and builds unmanned aircrafts for development purposes. Small team, real hardware, short feedback loops, fast development pace. What you build on Monday flies on Friday — and you will be there when it does. We are looking for a hands-on UAV Assembly Technician to support the assembly and integration of unmanned aerial systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Build UAV airframes and integrate mechanical, composite, electronic, and mechatronic components from drawings and technical documentation to finished, signed-off assembly.

• Perform composite and mechanical assembly, including lamination, vacuum bagging, curing, bonding, drilling, reaming, deburring, tapping, riveting, and fastening.

• Perform electronic assembly and integration, including soldering, PCB preparation, wiring, harnesses, servo mounting, and other aircraft components.

• Support UAV and mechatronic system integration and testing, including electronic, powerplant, and structural testing.

• Work from 2D drawings and bills of materials, building to the current revision.

• Make and maintain jigs, fixtures, and moulds.

• Complete build records, including serial numbers, component and adhesive batches, torque records, and deviations.

• Identify and report non-conformities when something is not right.

• Maintain high standards of quality, accuracy, and traceability.

• Work closely with the team in a complex, fast-paced environment with evolving technology challenges.

• MBO level 2–3 in mechanical, electronics, mechatronics, construction, production, or a related discipline, or demonstrably equivalent practical experience.

• 3 years minimum experience in similar tasks.

• Fluent English is a must.

• Drone A1/A2/A3 EASA license is a plus.

Skills & Abilities Required

• Fine and accurate hand-working skills.

• Hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Composite assembly and manufacturing, including wet lay-up or prepreg, vacuum bagging, and curing.
  • Metal fitting and mechanical assembly, including drilling and reaming to tolerance, deburring, threading, inserts, riveting, and torquing.
  • Electronics assembly, soldering, PCB preparation, wiring, and harness assembly.
  • Mechatronic assembly and integration.
  • Structural bonding experience, including surface preparation, mixing by weight, and working within pot life and cure schedules.
  • Experience reading technical drawings and BOMs; comfortable using tools such as calipers and micrometers.
  • Quality control: build sheets, batch numbers, deviations, and traceability.

• Ownership of tasks, teamwork, and agility are a must.

• Comfortable navigating complex, fast-paced environments with evolving technology challenges.

• FPV & RC piloting abilities are a plus.

• IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-610, or J-STD-001 certificates are a plus.
