Lead Aircraft Maintenance Technician (eVTOL)

The role

This Lead Maintenance Technician will bridge the gap between development engineering and flight operations. You will perform fabrication, installation, and troubleshooting of complex avionics systems, payload integration, and airframe maintenance on eVTOL aircraft.

What you will do

• Fabricate, route, and terminate complex aircraft wiring harnesses
• Read and interpret engineering schematics, wiring diagrams, and interconnect drawings
• Perform modifications and repairs to electrical and mechanical systems during flight test campaigns
• Lead mechanical and electrical integration of diverse payloads
• Fabricate custom interface cables for non-standard payloads
• Troubleshoot data and power issues between the Flight Control System and auxiliary payloads
• Install and maintain High Voltage distribution systems
• Assist in the integration and checkout of Battery Management Systems and motor controllers
• Execute pre-flight and post-flight checks on avionics and electric propulsion systems
• Inspect, service, and repair eVTOL airframe structures

Required qualifications

• FAA A&P Certificate
• 3+ years of experience in avionics, aerospace electrical systems, or complex unmanned systems
• Hands-on proficiency in soldering, crimping (Mil-Spec), and harness building
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings
• Familiarity with standard test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, milliohm meters)
• High School Diploma or GED
• Ability to work around high-voltage systems
• Ability to stand, bend, and work in tight spaces within an airframe for extended periods
• Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs

Nice to have

• Inspection Authorization (IA)
• Part 135 & 145 Experience
• eVTOL/UAV Knowledge
• High proficiency in soldering, crimping (Mil-Spec), and harness building
• Familiarity with standard test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, milliohm meters)
• Familiar with troubleshooting complex aircraft mechanical and electrical systems
• Ability to read and red-line complex electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Familiar with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards
• Experience working with High Voltage energy systems
• Background in R&D or flight test environments

Benefits

• Training for high-voltage systems will be provided

Before you apply

• Experience running a pit crew-style operation is required
