$13–$20/hr | Starting at 30 hrs | Full-Time (40 hrs) Within 30 Days | Benefits Eligible

Who We Are

DMR Technologies is a fast-growing American drone manufacturer based in Lafayette, LA — building advanced agricultural spray and commercial mapping drones (the X50 & D313) right here in the U.S. We're pioneering processes, scaling fast, and looking for hands-on problem solvers to grow with us.

The Role

You’ll assemble, service, test, and repair professional drones in our air-conditioned shop — and eventually in the field. Think precision assembly (closer to iPhone repair than shipbuilding) — small screwdrivers, allen wrenches, carbon fiber tubing, motors, nozzles, and basic wiring. These positions start at 30 hours and move to full-time 40 hours within 30 days.

No drone experience required. Mechanical aptitude is everything.

What You’ll Do

• Assemble drone components following work instructions, diagrams, and video guides
• Install mechanical systems: hoses, nozzles, CF tubing, motors, lightweight structures (~70%)
• Run basic wiring and electrical connections per print (~30%)
• Perform routine service, inspections (15-point), nozzle replacements, and consumables
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical/electrical issues — shop & field
• Potentially fly, diagnose, and test drones as skills develop

You're a Strong Fit If You Have:

• Any hands-on mechanical or electrical background (HVAC, auto, electronics, military, construction — anything counts)
• Ability to follow technical instructions and work independently
• Curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and comfort figuring things out
• Reliable, detail-oriented, team-first attitude

Bonus Points:

• Drone or RC aircraft experience / FAA Part 107 license
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)
• Willingness to travel 15–30%
• Basic computer skills / comfort with digital tools

Why DMR?

• Ground-floor opportunity at a funded drone startup with serious growth trajectory
• Clear path: Shop Tech → Field Technician → advanced roles as we scale
• Work on real, cutting-edge American-made technology
• Health, Dental & Vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Air-conditioned shop (Louisiana summers — you're welcome)
