The Opportunity:
- You will complete work order operations, quality buyoffs, and issuing hardware
- You will build mechanical engine and propulsion sub-assemblies
- You will proficiently use various mechanical tools
- You will maintain, troubleshoot, and install fluid and electromechanical components from a schematic or drawing
- You will work closely with engineers and leadership to develop and implement operational improvements focused on driving task times down and ease of repeatability
- You will rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working in a high-paced, challenging work environment
About You / Valued Experience:
- Experience in a startup development environment
- Experience working in a flight development program
- A&P license is preferred, but not required
