Avionics & Electrical Integration Technician

Haast Autonomous is building an autonomous aircraft network for time-sensitive medical logistics. We’re developing long-range VTOL aircraft, autonomy software, and the operational foundation needed to move critical payloads between hospitals, labs, and healthcare facilities on-demand faster and more reliably.

We’re early, small, and moving quickly. Joining now means you'll have a direct role in shaping the foundation of Haast — our culture, engineering process, testing discipline, partner relationships, and the path from prototype to a real medical logistics network.

We’re looking for high-agency people who want ownership, urgency, and system-level impact from day one.

Haast is seeking a meticulous Avionics & Electrical Integration Technician to build and maintain the electrical systems used across our aircraft and ground-test platforms.

You will perform precision soldering, manufacture wiring harnesses, integrate avionics and propulsion components, and inspect every electrical assembly before it is installed on an aircraft. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in clean workmanship, careful documentation, and building reliable hardware.

• Perform precision soldering, wire splicing, connector termination, and electrical rework

• Manufacture aircraft wiring harnesses from drawings, schematics, and pinout tables

• Crimp, assemble, label, route, secure, and inspect aircraft wiring

• Integrate flight controllers, ESCs, motors, batteries, sensors, radios, GPS units, cameras, actuators, and power-distribution hardware

• Install appropriate strain relief, shielding, grounding, abrasion protection, and cable management

• Conduct continuity, resistance, insulation, polarity, and power-on testing

• Diagnose intermittent connections, communication faults, voltage drops, and other electrical issues

• Inspect assemblies for solder quality, connector engagement, routing, and mechanical security

• Support aircraft assembly, ground testing, flight testing, repairs, and rapid prototype iterations

• Maintain wiring diagrams, harness records, inspection checklists, and aircraft build documentation

• Organize and maintain electrical tools, components, connectors, and consumable inventory

• Help establish repeatable workmanship and quality-control standards as the company scales

• Demonstrated experience with precision soldering and electrical assembly

• Experience building wiring harnesses and terminating electrical connectors

• Proficiency with crimpers, soldering stations, heat guns, multimeters, power supplies, and common electrical hand tools

• Ability to read wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, schematics, and assembly drawings

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to clean, repeatable workmanship

• Ability to identify and troubleshoot electrical faults methodically

• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving prototype environment

• Ability to work safely around high-voltage and high-current battery systems

• IPC J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or equivalent training

• Experience in aerospace, aviation, drones, robotics, automotive, motorsports, or industrial electronics

• Experience with Molex, JST, TE Connectivity, Deutsch, Amphenol, D-sub, XT-series, and circular connectors

• Experience with CAN, UART, I2C, Ethernet, PWM, RS-232, or RS-485 systems

• Experience with lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery systems

• Familiarity with PX4, Ardu Pilot, Cube Pilot, or similar autopilot systems

• Experience inspecting or reworking printed circuit boards

• Familiarity with aerospace wire, shielding, grounding, and EMI-management practices

• Aircraft wiring is clean, documented, serviceable, and reliable

• Harnesses consistently pass inspection and electrical testing

• Electrical faults are identified before they affect flight testing

• Prototype changes are implemented quickly without compromising workmanship

• Build and inspection processes become increasingly repeatable as the fleet grows

We care more about agency, ownership, taste, and evidence that you can build than whether you match every bullet point. If you have worked on aircraft, drones, robots, vehicles, rockets, or other hard technical systems and want to help build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
