About the Job:
The Aircraft Development Technician plays a key role in bringing aircraft designs to life through hands-on build, integration and testing. This role focuses on assembling, modifying and maintaining prototype aircraft, supporting engineers by turning designs into fully functioning hardware ready for ground and flight testing.
You’ll work closely with Mechanical and Aircraft Design Engineers, supporting the integration of propulsion systems, avionics and structures, and helping solve the real-world challenges that arise during build and test.
This is a highly practical, workshop-based role, ideal for someone who enjoys building and working on physical systems — whether from an aerospace background or hands-on experience in UAVs, model aircraft or similar.
What You'll Do:
Build and assemble aircraft structures and subsystems from engineering drawings and instructions
Install and integrate propulsion systems, avionics, control systems and payloads
Support ground testing and flight testing activities
Troubleshoot and resolve build and integration issues during assembly and test
Modify and rework aircraft components based on engineering feedback
Assist with field operations during test campaigns
Maintain build records, documentation and configuration control
Ensure tools, equipment and workspaces are maintained to a high standard
Desirable Qualifications, Experience & Attributes:
Background in aerospace, mechanical engineering or equivalent hands-on technical experience
Strong practical skills — assembly, wiring, bonding, mechanical fitting
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD models
Experience building or operating UAVs, model aircraft or experimental systems is highly valued
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, prototype-driven environment
Strong attention to detail and quality
Practical problem-solver with a proactive, “get it done” mindset
Willingness to learn, adapt and get hands-on with new technologies
