UAV Integration Technician
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the job description.
Key sections:
- About the role: The description starts with "Job Description The UAV Integration Technician is responsible for constructing unmanned aircraft from parts, kits, and subassemblies through final integration, system checkout, and flight-readiness preparation. This hands-on role requires the technician to perform mechanical assembly, wiring, avionics installation, propulsion and power system integration, configuration updates, documentation, troubleshooting, and pre-flight support to deliver complete aircraft ready for test or operational use."
That's a prose description. Could be "About the role".
- Responsibilities: There's a list of responsibilities after "Responsibilities". Many bullet-like sentences. We can put them in
- .
- Essential Skills: list of skills. Could be "Skills" section.
- Additional Skills & Qualifications: includes education, experience, citizenship requirement. Could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll decide.
- Work Environment: includes location and schedule (9/80 work schedule). Could be "Schedule" and maybe "Location". But we only have headings for Schedule, Benefits, Pay, etc. We could put schedule under Schedule heading. Location could be part of About the role or maybe not needed as separate heading (since not listed). We could include location in About the role paragraph.
- Pay And Benefits: includes pay range and benefits list. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. According to rules: Use
for Pay and Benefits sections if they have real content. Pay: we have pay range $24.00 - $40.00/hr. Benefits: list of benefits. So we need both Pay and Benefits sections.
- Workplace Type: fully onsite position in Rockville,MD. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could embed in About the role.
- Application Deadline: anticipated to close on Sep 30, 2026. This is metadata; we could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or separate? Not a heading. We'll include as a short paragraph maybe after About the role.
- About Actalent: boilerplate about company, EEO, etc. This is boilerplate to remove. So we should remove that entire section.
- Also remove "Application Deadline" maybe not boilerplate but it's metadata; we can keep as short paragraph.
- Remove duplicated lines.
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate.
Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role (maybe with paragraphs), Responsibilities (ul), Skills (ul), Qualifications (maybe combine education/experience/citizenship), Pay (p with range), Benefits (ul of benefits), Schedule (p with 9/80 work schedule). Possibly also Work Environment (location) but we can embed.
We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
Let's extract content precisely.
About the role: The first paragraph: "The UAV Integration Technician is responsible for constructing unmanned aircraft from parts, kits, and subassemblies through final integration, system checkout, and flight-readiness preparation. This hands-on role requires the technician to perform mechanical assembly, wiring, avionics installation, propulsion and power system integration, configuration updates, documentation, troubleshooting, and pre-flight support to deliver complete aircraft ready for test or operational use."
We could also include location and work environment: "The position is based at a new facility in Rockville, MD, with a 9/80 work schedule." and "Workplace Type This is a fully onsite position in Rockville,MD." We'll combine.
Also "Application Deadline This position is anticipated to close on Sep 30, 2026." We'll add as a short paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities". Let's extract each bullet:
- Assemble UAS airframes from subcomponents through full system integration.
- Read and follow engineering drawings, schematics, work instructions, and 3D models.
- Execute build instructions, engineering drawings, and configuration changes.
- Conduct in-process quality checks and report deviations to the Team Lead immediately.
- Install and integrate avionics systems, autopilots, sensor payloads, and mission systems.
- Set up communications systems, including radios, antennas, and GCS interfaces.
- Install and manage power systems, such as battery stacks, fuel systems, and distribution networks.
- Perform aircraft retrofits across existing fleet configurations.
- Implement engineering change orders (ECOs) and configuration updates.
- Modify wiring harnesses, mounting structures, and system layouts as required.
- Fabricate, route, and troubleshoot wiring harnesses.
- Support integration of power distribution and battery systems.
- Support ground testing, system checkout, and pre-flight prep.
- Assist with troubleshooting during flight test operations.
- Deploy to test sites as required to support field operations.
- Diagnose integration issues across mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces.
- Work directly with engineering to resolve system-level issues.
- Perform rapid fixes and modifications in lab and field environments.
- Deliver fully integrated aircraft on schedule to meet test execution and customer delivery requirements.
- Maintain configuration control and build documentation.
- Support scaling from prototype to low-rate production.
- Assemble, integrate, troubleshoot, and validate aircraft and aerospace systems to deliver flight-ready platforms prepared for ground testing, flight testing, customer acceptance, or operational deployment.
That's a lot; we will keep them as list items.
Essential Skills (Skills section): list:
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and integration instructions.
- Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, structural integration, electrical systems, wiring, and basic avionics or embedded systems.
- Experience with DoD or Aerospace, UAV, and avionics.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and system-level integration.
- Ability to follow safety procedures, quality standards, and tool-control practices.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments and iterative build, test, and refinement cycles.
Additional Skills & Qualifications: includes:
- Associate degree or Technical Certification in A&P, Electronics, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related field is preferred.
- 3-8+ years of hands-on experience in Aerospace, UAS, robotics, automotive, or similar technical field.
- Strong attention to detail and craftsmanship.
- Due to federal contract requirements applicable to this position, candidates must be U.S. citizens.
We could put these under Qualifications (or Requirements). We'll use
Qualifications
with a for each bullet.
Pay: "The pay range for this position is $24.00 - $40.00/hr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors."
We'll put that in a under Pay heading.
Benefits: list:
- Medical, dental & vision
- Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital
- 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available
- Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents)
- Short and long-term disability
- Health Spending Account (HSA)
- Transportation benefits
- Employee Assistance Program
- Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave)
We'll put under Benefits heading as
.
Schedule: "The position is based at a new facility in Rockville, MD, with a 9/80 work schedule." and "Workplace Type This is a fully onsite position in Rockville,MD." We'll combine: maybe a stating schedule and location.
We could also include "Application Deadline This position is anticipated to close on Sep 30, 2026." as a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? Not a heading. We'll add a
after About the role.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: Remove everything after "About Actalent" etc.
