We are seeking a highly skilled and hands‑on Engineering Technician to support the development and manufacturing of brushless DC (BLDC) electric motors for aerospace applications. This role plays a vital part in prototyping, assembly, testing, and process development of high‑performance motor systems. The ideal candidate brings strong mechanical and electrical aptitude, experience in electromechanical systems, and a working knowledge of automation and lean manufacturing principles.

• Perform hands‑on assembly and build prototype electric motors, components, and test fixtures.
• Work closely with engineers to develop and iterate prototype designs for BLDC motors used in aerospace systems.
• Assemble to engineering prints, wiring diagrams, and verbal instructions; suggest improvements as needed.

• Create and revise development assembly instructions, work procedures, and build logs.
• Accurately document build steps, part issues, rework, and test outcomes.
• Take detailed measurements, record motor performance data, and provide timely feedback to engineering teams.

• Design and build simple jigs, fixtures, and custom tools to support repeatable and safe assembly processes.
• Assist in improving tooling and setup for test and automation equipment.
• Create 3D printed fixtures and tools for development work.

• Support and execute static and dynamic testing of motors and electromechanical subsystems, including test stand setup and instrumentation.
• Conduct basic troubleshooting on mechanical and electrical issues during assembly and testing phases.

• Provide general technical assistance to engineers across mechanical, electrical, and systems disciplines.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, production, and automation engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability and automation readiness.
• Participate in design reviews, test planning, and root cause investigations.

• Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics) or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• 3+ years of experience in a technical or technician role with a focus on electromechanical assembly.
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience assembling or testing BLDC motors or similar electromechanical systems.
• Proficient in using hand tools, measurement instruments (calipers, micrometers, multimeters, crimpers), and basic shop equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.
• Experience with simple CAD tools (e.g., Creo) to support fixture and assembly aid design.
• Experience with J-STD-001.
• Experience with IPC 610 and IPC 620.
• Verbal and written communication skills.
• Interpersonal and customer service skills.
• Organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines.
• Ability to function well in a high‑paced and at times stressful environment.
• Physical environment: frequently exposed to fluids, fumes, airborne particles, moving mechanical parts, noise and vibration.
• Standard office equipment use (computers, phones, printers, scanners, copier machine); requires appropriate…
