Sceye is a high-growth technology company, building the next generation of instant communications, imaging and remote sensing infrastructure through stratospheric platforms. Our lighter-than-air high-altitude platform systems (LTA HAPS) are capable of maintaining position over an operational area in the stratosphere (altitudes of 18 – 21km). They can carry multiple telecommunications, imaging and remote sensing payloads, providing unique functionality, cost, environmental and societal advantages.

Our customers & partners include some of the largest global telecommunications companies, infrastructure operators, climate researchers, civil and defense agencies. At Sceye, we aim high, and we want you to join us at the stratospheric edge of innovation. As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll contribute to building breakthrough technologies that are changing the way we connect and observe the world.

We are looking for individuals who bring not only deep expertise but also bold vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Sceye is seeking a highly hands-on, mechanically skilled Facilities Technician to support the daily maintenance, repair, and operational readiness of our facilities in Moriarty, New Mexico.

The ideal candidate enjoys working with their hands, has practical experience in plumbing, carpentry, building repairs, and general maintenance, and can confidently troubleshoot and resolve routine issues without relying on outside contractors. This is not a desk-based facilities position.

• Diagnose and repair common plumbing issues, including leaks, faucets, toilets, drains, fixtures, and minor piping repairs within the scope of training and authorization.
• Perform general building maintenance, including roofing, carpentry, drywall repairs, painting, door and hardware repairs, shelving installation, and minor construction projects.
• Safely operate hand and power tools, including drills, saws, grinders, impact drivers, and other maintenance equipment.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve mechanical and facility‑related issues with minimal supervision.
• Perform preventive maintenance and routine inspections to identify potential issues before they impact operations.
• Assist with basic maintenance of HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems within the scope of training and authorization; coordinate specialized repairs as needed.
• Assemble, install, modify, and repair furniture, fixtures, workstations, and facility equipment.
• Maintain outdoor areas, storage spaces, and facility grounds in a safe and functional condition.
• Support facility improvement projects, equipment installations, and workspace modifications.
• Maintain and organize tools, equipment, maintenance materials, and supplies.
• Coordinate with outside vendors and contractors for specialized repairs or projects.
• Respond to unexpected maintenance issues and prioritize repairs based on operational needs.
• Operating Sceye’s heavy machinery including company vehicles.
