• 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.

Requirements

• 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.
