Requirements

• The Electrical Assembly Technician will perform high-reliability soldering and electrical integration for a high-volume unmanned aircraft system (UAS) production program. Work includes heavy-gauge power wiring, XT-series connectors, electronic speed controllers, motor connections, capacitors, and related electrical assemblies. A current J-STD-001 certification is required. The successful candidate must be able to produce consistent, inspection-ready solder joints while meeting production-rate, traceability, and workmanship requirements. This is a full-time contract position expected to last approximately 2–3 months, with potential conversion to full-time employment based on performance and business needs.
