ITI Engineering is looking for a senior, hands‑on assembly technician to build our airborne products and be a strong technical asset for our next generation of products. You will build, wire, and integrate high‑reliability flight hardware in an AS9100 environment, and bring more technical depth than a typical build role: troubleshooting, test, and helping make new designs production‑ready.

Job duties include:

- Build, assemble, wire, and integrate airborne electronic and electromechanical assemblies to drawings, work instructions, and workmanship standards.

- Perform harness and cable builds, soldering, crimping, torque, staking, and final assembly, right the first time.

- Build prototypes and early units, and support first article (AS9102) and production process verification builds.

- Troubleshoot and test assemblies and systems from schematics, down to component level.

- Set up, run and record ESS and ATP testing on production and development units.

- Give Engineering design‑for‑manufacturability feedback and help develop work instructions, tooling, fixtures, and test setups.

- Perform in‑process checks, record build and test data on the work order, and report nonconformances.

- Mentor technicians on build, workmanship, and troubleshooting.

Qualifications:

- Associate degree in electronics or avionics, or military electronics training, preferred, or equivalent experience.

- 7+ years building aerospace or avionics hardware, including troubleshooting and test.

- IPC J-STD-001 and IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 certification, or able to certify within 90 days.

- Able to read drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams and BOMs.

- Able to lift 50 pounds regularly.

- Skilled with precision hand, torque, soldering, and crimping tools, and DMM.

Preferred:

- AS9102 / PPV build experience, IPC‑A‑610 or IPC‑7711/7721.

- Conformal coat and potting experience.
