Structures Integration Technician

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of work orders, quality buyoffs, and material handling, including occasional support in inventory and materials control when needed.
• Execute a wide variety of mechanical and electromechanical sub-assemblies, as well as full system-level integration tasks with minimal instruction.
• Perform critical structural operations: drilling, reaming, countersinking, deburring, and installing precision fasteners per spec.
• Install, troubleshoot, and maintain fluid, pneumatic, and electromechanical systems, including leak checks, ATP, and light electrical harnessing.
• Provide cross-functional support across departments—whether that’s jumping in on a build, troubleshooting a test setup, or organizing work centers.
• Build and refine custom tooling and fixtures for one-off builds or repeatable operations, contributing to build readiness and safety.
• Deliver in-the-moment engineering feedback, and proactively redline work instructions or flag inefficiencies to continuously improve processes.
• Drive process improvement initiatives—applying your generalist lens to find cycle time reductions, streamline flows, and simplify complex tasks.
• Operate independently in a dynamic environment where priorities change rapidly; bring a flexible, "do what’s needed" mindset every day.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in aerospace, startup, or fast-paced prototyping/manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated experience in both flight hardware assembly and production support, including system-level troubleshooting.
• Ability to work across a wide range of technical areas including fluids, inventory support, structural assembly, and manufacturing.
• Strong proficiency with engineering drawings, schematics, GD&T, and hands-on fabrication.
• Familiarity with shop tools, rigging, GSE, and component-level ATP/proof testing.
• Highly self-directed with a track record of working independently and taking initiative without constant oversight.
• Strong understanding and practice of 5S, lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement principles.
