Assembly Technician

Your Responsibilities

• Build & Integrate: Assemble and outfit next-gen UAVs, from avionics to airframe, ensuring systems are flight-ready, reliable, and easily testable.
• Own the Workshop: Organize tools and materials, manage prototyping equipment like 3D printers, and set up jigs and fixtures for integration and calibration.
• Test & Learn: Run and support system qualification tests; document issues and feed insights back into engineering and product design.
• Improve & Optimize: Challenge designs, suggest better tools or processes, and work closely with engineers to iterate faster and smarter.
• Special Projects: Whether it’s testing a new composite bonding method or tuning flight controllers, you’ll jump in where needed and lead where you shine.

Your Profile

• Hands-on Pro: You’ve completed technical training or an apprenticeship in aircraft mechanics, mechatronics, or a similar field, and have 3+ years of experience working on mechatronic systems, preferably in prototyping or low-rate production.
• Execution-Obsessed: You take pride in delivering high-quality results, fast. You don’t wait for perfect instructions. You take initiative, fix problems, and figure things out.
• Builder’s Mentality: You’re excited to start from scratch, unpolished prototypes, and the feeling of getting something real into the sky.
• Quality-Driven: You think in millimeters, don’t accept loose screws or shaky designs, and always look for ways to make things better.
• Fast Learner: You may not know everything on day one, but you're a sponge. From soldering and harness building to CAD tweaks and drone tuning, you’re ready to level up.
• Team Player: You’re collaborative, communicative, and committed to helping the whole team win.
• Conversational English must have ; German is a strong plus.
