Senior Engineering Technician

Join a fast-scaling aerospace startup and set the standard for excellence.

Allocor.tech designs and manufactures mission-critical power electronics and avionics including motor controllers, battery management systems, power distribution, flight control, and flight termination systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS/UAM) and unmanned maritime platforms. Our customers are leaders in advanced air mobility, uncrewed aircraft, and electric watercraft. The team brings deep experience from organizations including Northrop Grumman, L3

Harris, Sierra Space, and Aurora Flight Sciences.

We are a team of approximately 35 people generating roughly $10M in annual revenue. We recently closed a $6.0M Series A and are projecting 100–200% revenue growth over the next year as we scale production, expand our customer base, and professionalize the business beyond its engineering-led roots. This is a pivotal moment: we are building the technical depth and process rigor required to support rapid, disciplined growth while protecting the speed and agility that got us here.

The Senior Engineering Technician will own the critical bridge between hands-on manufacturing and assembly excellence and mechanical design, product architecture, analysis, and manufacturing support. This is a high-impact role for a supply chain and technical professional who thrives in a fast-moving aerospace environment and wants real ownership of building flight hardware while shaping the designs that go into production. You will act as a true partner to engineering—driving final assembly quality, applying DFM/DFA discipline, maintaining the product digital twin, and ensuring hardware is ready for both R&D and production scale-up.

• Own final electrical and mechanical assembly of products: soldering connectors and large components, rework of fuse and jumper resistor components, applying staking compound, and fastening assemblies together.
• Fabricate test and demonstration harnessing and support the engineering team with PCB rework and experimentation.
• Assemble hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test racks and support integration and quality testing of subassemblies.

• Design and architect assemblies for new product development and continuous improvement of existing products; produce and maintain system architecture diagrams throughout the design cycle.
• Build Solid Works assemblies, vendor drawings, BOMs, and prototypes. Design sheet metal and machined enclosures, ventilation systems, and structural mounts.
• Specify mechanical, electromechanical, optical, fluidic, and pneumatic components. Conduct Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews on new designs.
• Calculate heat loads and size airflow, cold plates, thermoelectric coolers (TECs), and chillers. Perform linear static structural simulation. Verify thermal performance using thermocouples and IR thermography.

• Maintain the product digital twin in MRP/PLM systems; release new products; draft and execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Serve as technical point of contact for machine shops and sheet metal fabricators. Issue technical data packages and perform first article inspection (FAI) and first-build testing.
• Author and maintain assembly documentation and renderings. Support integration and QC. Travel for tool installations, field service, and refits as required.

• Conduct standards and compliance reviews across applicable requirements (e.g., CE Machinery Directive and EMC, NFPA 79, IEC, ISO, SEMI, and ASME).
• Identify applicable requirements, drive resulting design changes, author safety system requirements and reports, and perform risk assessments.

• Able to inspect PCBs to IPC-A-610 Class 2 or better and perform installation and rework of thru-hole and fine-pitch SMT components to IPC Class 2 in a lead-free process (IPC J-STD-001, IPC 7711, or equivalent).
• Extensive experience with PCBs and mechanical assemblies combined with strong hands‑on mechanical aptitude and the…
