UAS Technician

You will help build, maintain, and ensure the flight readiness of our unmanned aircraft fleet. Working alongside engineers and flight-test personnel, you will support aircraft integration, troubleshooting, maintenance, and field operations across the full test and deployment cycle.

This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable moving between the workshop, flight line, and field as systems evolve quickly and operational requirements change.

• Inspect, assemble, maintain, repair, and test unmanned aircraft and related systems.
• Perform pre-flight and post-flight inspections and document aircraft condition and maintenance actions.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, avionics, propulsion, and flight-control system issues.
• Support flight-line operations including aircraft preparation, launch, recovery, servicing, and field repairs.
• Maintain aircraft, ground-control equipment, tools, spare components, and documentation.
• Work directly with engineers to identify recurring issues and improve aircraft reliability, maintainability, and operating procedures.
• Support field testing and demonstrations with travel up to 25%.

• Hands-on experience working with unmanned aircraft, aviation systems, electronics, avionics, or similar technical hardware.
• Working knowledge of electronics, mechanical systems, avionics, and UAS hardware.
• Experience troubleshooting technical issues using drawings, schematics, test equipment, and system data.
• Familiarity with UAS ground-control station software and flight operations.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and disciplined approach to maintenance documentation.
• Must meet U.S. export-control requirements as a “U.S. Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15.
