Unmanned Systems (UxS) Technician

Unmanned Systems (UxS) Technician – Level II

OWT Global is seeking an experienced Unmanned Systems (UxS) Technician – Level II to support the hands-on design, fabrication, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of unmanned systems and associated components. This position is intended for a technically capable professional who can translate computer aided design (CAD) concepts and digital models into functional, completed hardware builds and demonstrate a proven history of taking designs from the digital environment through fabrication, assembly, testing, and delivery.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong combination of CAD design expertise, hands-on fabrication and assembly experience, electronics knowledge, 3D printing/additive manufacturing experience, and practical UxS knowledge. Particular emphasis will be placed on candidates who possess professional CAD certifications and can demonstrate documented past performance delivering CAD-based designs, assemblies, prototypes, or models into completed physical builds.

The UxS Technician will work in a hands on shop and laboratory environment supporting the development and sustainment of unmanned systems. Responsibilities may span conceptual and detailed CAD modeling, design modifications, rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, electrical and mechanical assembly, component selection, system integration, troubleshooting, testing, repair, and documentation.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working across the boundary between digital engineering and physical hardware, using CAD and engineering tools to develop practical solutions and then personally participating in the fabrication, assembly, integration, and validation of those solutions.

Duties And Responsibilities

• Develop, modify, and maintain detailed 2D drawings, 3D models, assemblies, and mechanical designs using CAD software in support of UxS development and integration activities.
• Translate engineering concepts, requirements, sketches, and existing designs into manufacturable CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and prototypes.
• Demonstrate proven experience taking a CAD based design or digital model from concept through fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, and completed delivery.
• Support the full design to build lifecycle, including concept development, CAD modeling, design review, prototyping, fabrication, assembly, testing, modification, and final integration.
• Create and modify mechanical components, enclosures, mounts, brackets, structural components, and other UxS hardware using appropriate CAD design practices.
• Produce accurate engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation, including dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, assembly details, and revision information as required.
• Utilize rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing techniques to develop functional prototypes and production ready components.
• Operate and support various 3D printing technologies, including FDM, SLS, SLA, and similar additive manufacturing processes.
• Select appropriate materials, hardware, fabrication methods, and manufacturing processes based on design requirements and intended system application.
• Troubleshoot common additive manufacturing issues, including print failures, dimensional inaccuracies, warping, adhesion issues, and other hardware or process-related problems.
• Perform primary and secondary servicing, maintenance, and troubleshooting of additive manufacturing equipment and associated hardware.
• Build, assemble, modify, repair, and integrate UxS components and subsystems using power tools, hand tools, electrical test equipment, and shop equipment.
• Support the fabrication and integration of electrical and mechanical assemblies associated with unmanned systems.
• Apply knowledge of analog and digital circuits, AC/DC electronics, electrical systems, sensors, wiring, connectors, and related components during system integration and troubleshooting.
• Select electronic components and sensors appropriate for specific UxS design and integration requirements.
• Use test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other electrical/electronic diagnostic…
