As a Manufacturing Technician, you will help build the next generation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for critical defense missions. You will work alongside experienced technicians, developing hands-on skills in electronics assembly, soldering, wiring, and mechanical integration. Success requires attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and pride in producing high-quality work.

Responsibilities

Assemble drone components, harnesses, connectors, and subassemblies under the guidance of experienced technicians.
Perform basic soldering, wiring, cable assembly, and mechanical assembly using hand tools.
Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and quality standards with precision.
Complete in-process inspections and prepare assemblies for Quality Control review.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace using 5S principles.
Identify and report quality concerns, non-conformances, or safety issues to the Cell Lead or Supervisor.
Support production goals while maintaining exceptional workmanship and attention to detail.
Continuously develop technical skills and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

Requirements

High school diploma or GED.
