Electrical Technician

The role

The Electrical Technician will build, route, and terminate wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for propulsion, avionics, and flight-control systems. This role involves executing electrical tests, installing hardware on test stands and prototype aircraft, and fabricating PCBs and test fixtures.

What you will do

• Build, route, and terminate low- and high-voltage wiring harnesses, connectors, and cable assemblies.
• Execute continuity, insulation-resistance, and hipot tests.
• Diagnose faults with oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN bus analyzers, and high-voltage safety equipment.
• Install, calibrate, and maintain components, sensors and data-acquisition hardware on propulsion test stands and prototype aircraft.
• Fabricate and populate PCBs, breakout boxes, and test fixtures.
• Perform rework and component replacement to IPC-610/620 standards.
• Enforce lock-out/tag-out, HV PPE, and hazardous-energy control procedures.

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of experience assembling and troubleshooting aerospace, automotive, or industrial electrical systems.
• Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings (KiCad, Altium, or similar).
• Demonstrated skill in crimping, soldering, harness over-braiding, heat-shrink moulded parts, and connector back-shell termination.
• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739, or comparable workmanship standards.
• Working knowledge of CAN, RS-422/485, and Ethernet wiring practices, shielding, and grounding.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to execute tasks independently while meeting tight deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with eVTOL or aerospace powertrain development, including DO-160G environmental and EMI/EMC test procedures.
• Hands-on exposure to inverters, gate-driver circuits, and high-frequency switching layouts.
• Certification to IPC-J-STD-001 (Space Addendum) or FAA Repairman Certificate for wire harness assembly.
• Familiarity with HV safety interlocks (HVIL), battery management systems, and contactor control logic.
• Experience installing and troubleshooting flight-worthy instrumentation (strain gauges, thermocouples, RTDs) and associated DAQ software.
• Proven track record supporting prototype aircraft or UAV flight-test programs in cross-functional engineering teams.
• Ability to generate clear build logs, discrepancy reports, and red-lined drawings for configuration control.
