Responsibilities
Build, assemble, and wire UAV electro-mechanical subsystems including power, sensors, and control modules. Assemble and integrate components such as wiring harnesses, connectors, batteries, and structural parts. Set up and refine lab-based assembly and low-volume production workflows. Maintain wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, and connectors. Diagnose, repair, and rebuild UAVs post-test flights or missions, identifying root causes and implementing durable fixes. Test systems under operational conditions and document assembly, wiring, and repairs. Train team members on hardware procedures. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure integration. Support field deployments through hands-on diagnostics and repairs. Continuously improve hardware robustness and maintainability.
Qualifications
Extensive practical experience with mechanical and electro-mechanical systems (such as automotive, aerospace, or robotics). Strong skills in assembling, repairing, modifying hardware; soldering, crimping, cable routing, connector installation, and harness building. Comfort working with low-voltage electrical systems (batteries, DC converters, fuses, connectors). Experience with workshop and diagnostic tools including multimeters and basic oscilloscopes. Ability to troubleshoot hardware issues under pressure. Familiarity with RC aircraft, FPV drones, automotive electronics, or related DIY mechanical projects is a plus. Ability to read technical drawings and wiring diagrams. Strong documentation habits. Intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, problem-solving mindset, and collaborative spirit. NATO member or close ally nationality required. Formal degrees not mandatory; emphasis on deep hands-on craftsmanship.
