The Opportunity

This is a highly hands-on, technical role for a Development Technician who enjoys building, iterating, and supporting real test campaigns.

  • Perform welding operations (TIG/MIG/laser), including welding positioner setup; support waterjet programming and operation
  • Support composite fabrication, including vacuum bagging techniques
  • Apply painting, coating, and finishing processes as needed
Inspection, Documentation & Process Improvement
  • Read, interpret, and provide feedback on engineering drawings and work instructions
  • Document development builds, procedures, and test results with clarity and accuracy
  • Inspect parts and materials using precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, scales, pi tapes, dial indicators, plug gauges, etc.)
  • Use basic CAD tools to support builds and engineering requests
Test Support & Hardware Readiness
  • Assist with setup, execution, and teardown of system tests (proof, leak, flow, and load testing)
  • Support test execution with accurate data logging, checklist completion, and documentation of results
  • Maintain and troubleshoot vacuum hardware, pumps, instrumentation, and related systems
  • Perform cleaning and preparation of components, including oxygen system cleaning
  • Troubleshoot issues with build hardware, test systems, and manufacturing equipment in real time to keep campaigns moving
Safety & Operations
  • Work safely around high voltage, pressure systems, and hazardous materials; follow PPE and safety procedures without exception
  • Operate cranes, forklifts, and rigging equipment safely
  • Perform work in varied physical environments, including confined spaces, tanks, platforms, and around moving machinery
What Were Looking For (Required)
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in sheet metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, or manual machining
  • Strong troubleshooting ability with mechanical and fluid systems
  • High attention to detail and pride in quality workmanship
  • Willingness to work flexible hours (evenings/weekends) to support critical test windows
  • High school diploma or GED required (technical certification or associate degree preferred)
Nice to Have
  • Experience in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or startup environments
  • Familiarity with cryogenics and high-pressure gas systems
  • Knowledge of aerospace sheet metal practices and pressure vessel build/testing
  • Calm, systematic troubleshooting under schedule pressure and changing priorities
