  • Perform production manufacturing tasks, including building and installing electrical wire bundles, wire stripping, connector terminations, and soldering on aircraft electrical systems.
  • Manufacture, test, inspect, and repair electrical systems and components used on unmanned aerial vehicles.
  • Build and repair aircraft wiring and wiring harnesses, ensuring correct routing, labeling, and secure connections.
  • Perform operational checkout of aircraft electrical systems and complete required inspections to verify proper function and compliance.
  • Conduct in-progress and follow-up inspections during and upon completion of electrical installations to ensure quality and adherence to specifications.
  • Solder electrical and avionics components using appropriate tools and techniques to meet aerospace standards.
  • Troubleshoot aircraft electrical and avionics system discrepancies using test equipment such as multimeters and oscilloscopes, and implement effective repairs.
  • Operate and maintain hand tools, specialty tools, and test equipment in a safe and serviceable condition.
  • Assist in building prototypes for initial designs and low-volume builds that are not yet released into full production, working closely with engineering and R&D teams.
  • Participate in field testing and flight testing activities as required, which may involve occasional travel.
  • Support and assist other mechanics and technicians as needed to meet production and testing schedules.
  • Follow established procedures and work instructions on semi-routine assignments while maintaining high quality and safety standards.
  • Interpret and work from electrical and mechanical drawings, schematics, and engineered designs to create clear build instructions for assembly and test personnel.
  • Adhere to aircraft manufacturing safety procedures and contribute to a safe and organized work area.
Essential Skills
  • Minimum of 1–2 years of recent hands-on experience in electrical wire bundle manufacturing.
  • Demonstrated experience with electrical schematics and the ability to interpret and apply them in a production environment.
  • Proven ability to translate engineered designs into practical build instructions for assembly and test teams.
  • Hands-on experience using wire strippers, crimping hand tools, specialty tools, and electrical testing equipment.
  • Strong familiarity with electronics, including hands-on experience with analog and digital hardware.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of aircraft electrical systems and their components.
  • Experienced and skilled in wiring and soldering for electrical and avionics applications.
  • Ability to interpret and understand electrical and mechanical drawings and schematics.
  • Experience in electronics troubleshooting using tools such as multimeters and oscilloscopes.
  • Proficiency with hand tools and assembly of wire harnesses, including crimping and cable routing.
  • Strong computer skills with proficiency in MS Office applications.
  • Knowledge of and adherence to aircraft manufacturing safety procedures.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
Additional

Skills & Qualifications
