Integration Specialist

About The Team

The team is building and scaling production of next-generation autonomous air vehicles at Arsenal. We own the full integration line, from subassembly through final acceptance testing, and are ramping from early production into rate. The team works hand-in-hand with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and MRB to solve problems on the floor and get units out the door.

About The Job

We are looking for two Integration Specialists to join the Fury production line at Arsenal, one per shift. In this role, you will be the line's first responder when a build error or nonconformance occurs, owning the resolution end to end from assessment through rework and quality buyoff. You will review drawings, create NCRs, redline corrective work instructions into Forge, and hand units back ready to build. Beyond problem resolution, you will drive process improvements by identifying bottlenecks, improving workstation layouts, and translating floor knowledge into standard work. This is not a desk job, you remain a working technician on the line, performing assigned build operations and covering stations alongside your team.

What You'll Do

• Perform assigned Fury build operations per work order and standard work, held to the same quality and pace standard as any technician on the line.
• Cover stations during absences, surges, and critical-path builds; maintain qualification on the stations you support.
• Respond to production calls and own the rework/disposition loop end to end — from NCR creation through redlined work instructions, ME approval, corrective work, and final quality buyoff.
• Review engineering drawings and CAD data to confirm requirements and deviations; draft redlines and corrective instructions for ME approval.
• Disposition recurring nonconformances with established fixes; escalate novel or engineering-authority items to MRB / Manufacturing Engineering.
• Monitor build flow across stations, identify bottlenecks and WIP build-up, and recommend sequencing changes to keep the line balanced.
• Develop and maintain standard work documentation; improve workstation layout, tooling placement, and material presentation.
• Execute and support functional and acceptance test procedures for aircraft systems including hydraulics, fuel, and landing gear.
• Onboard and cross-train technicians on station standard work, safety, and quality expectations.
• Share 6S, FOD, and tool-control duties on the line.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering to translate floor observations into actionable process improvements.

Required Qualifications

• Mechanical or electrical manufacturing floor experience in aerospace assembly, aircraft integration, or similar large-scale mechanical/electrical build environments.
• Strong blueprint reading and ability to interpret engineering drawings and CAD data.
• Hands-on experience with nonconformance processes, rework execution, and quality inspections.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot build issues on the floor and drive them to resolution.
• Familiarity with quality management standards (IPC-620, IPC-A-610, or equivalent).
• Comfortable working with cranes, hoists, PPE, and in a 6S/FOD-controlled environment.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aviation or aerospace integration and test experience, particularly on large airframe or vehicle platforms.
• Experience with MES/ERP systems such as Forge or similar work order platforms.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing methodologies (5S, kaizen) and continuous improvement practices.
• Experience developing standard work, work instructions, or process documentation.
• Demonstrated capability to train or mentor production technicians.
• NX CAD fundamentals; SPC-0001269 QMS awareness.
