Job description

As a trusted talent partner, Infotel is working with Drove Aeropower to build a world-class team. We are looking for outstanding candidates who are eager to contribute to a dynamic and growing organization.

About Drove Aeropower

Drove Aeropower builds advanced gas turbine systems for some of the most demanding applications in energy and defense, built around high power density, rapid deployment, and domestic manufacturing. We move with the speed and ownership of a startup while tackling engineering problems normally reserved for much larger organizations.

Build the system. Test it. Make it better.

Take ownership of power-generation equipment and the systems that support it across the entire development cycle: from assembly and inspection through testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. Working alongside engineering, you will help develop next-generation power systems by building hardware, solving problems, and improving the way we test.

This is not a maintenance job

What You Will Own

• System builds. Build, inspect, configure, and install development and production power-generation equipment to engineering specifications and quality standards.
• Test execution. Pre- and post-test inspections, system test procedures, and monitoring of system performance, instrumentation, and test stand systems.
• Test stand systems. Build, modify, and maintain mechanical and electrical stand systems: fuel, pneumatic, exhaust, instrumentation, and data acquisition.
• Tooling and fixtures. Fabricate and integrate custom tooling, fixtures, tubing, brackets, and other hardware for assembly and test.
• The build record. Accurate documentation of equipment builds, inspections, testing, and hardware configurations.

What You Will Do

• Troubleshoot systems, test stands, and support equipment.
• Support equipment teardowns, component inspections, and root-cause failure investigations.
• Find and implement improvements to hardware, tooling, test systems, and processes that raise safety, reliability, efficiency, and repeatability.
• Keep a safe, organized work environment, and contribute to best practices, standard work, and continuous improvement.

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience assembling power-generation or rotating equipment to engineering specifications and tight mechanical tolerances
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
• Experience with electrical wiring and troubleshooting
• Knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Experience with instrumentation, sensors, and precision measuring equipment
• Proficiency with fabrication equipment and common shop tools

Bonus Points

Experience in any of these is highly valuable:

• Installing and wiring strain gauges, pressure transducers, thermocouples, and other test instrumentation

You Will Thrive Here If

• You'd rather build the thing than maintain it.
• You see a better way to do the job and you make it happen.
• You want every day to be different.

Why Drove Aeropower

• Ground-up development. Build power systems from the ground up, not just maintain existing hardware.
• Beside the engineers. Work alongside engineering at every stage, from the first equipment build through full-system testing.
• Real influence. Your ideas matter, and your work directly shapes the next generation of power-generation equipment.
• One of the first. As one of Drove's first employees, you will have a real voice in the decisions that shape how we build and test.
• A founder who has done it before. Drove's founder has already successfully built a company, and you will help build the next one.
