UAS Mechanic
Job description
This role sits between manufacturing, flight, and the field. You'll build, integrate, and maintain the aircraft themselves: airframe, mechanical systems, wiring, avionics. It all connects, and when something doesn't work, you're the one figuring out why.
Some days you're on the shop floor in Austin. Some days you're at our flight test site. Some days you're traveling to customer sites, keeping aircraft flying where they actually operate. If you want a job where every day looks the same, this isn't it.
Some days are clean builds. Some days are troubleshooting something that should work but doesn't. If you've only worked from perfect instructions, this will feel uncomfortable.
Job responsibilities
- Build and assemble aircraft structures and systems from the ground up
- Install and integrate mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems
- Build and route wiring harnesses, perform testing and validation
- Fabricate and work with composite parts (one part of the job, not the whole job)
- Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues during build, integration, and maintenance
- Support ground and flight test prep, including preflight and postflight checks
- Travel to customer sites to maintain, repair, and support aircraft in the field
- Work across subsystems and understand how they interact, not just your piece
