• Assign assembly tasks, build schedules, and oversee workflow for unique, one-off builds

• Interpret engineering drawings, fabrication specs, and build documentation—solving technical challenges through creative, systematic approaches

• Oversee initial system integration and functional tests to guarantee flawless operation upon installation

• Direct team communications, training, and safe work practices during every project phase

• Collaborate with design, engineering, and production teams to ensure designs translate smoothly from concept into reality

• Manage inventory and resources to keep prototypes moving through each assembly stage—troubleshooting delays and sourcing parts when needed

• Guide and mentor assemblers through advanced mechanical and electrical build techniques

• Document processes, offer suggestions for continuous improvement, and champion creative problem solving

Ideal Candidate

• Licensed or highly experienced A&P Mechanic (a plus) 

• 5+ years leading or mentoring teams in hands-on technical assembly environments

• Deep skill in interpreting complex drawings, wiring diagrams, and fabrication specs

• Experience in prototype, custom, or high-mix product environments preferred

• Proficient with hand and power tools, measurement instruments, and shop equipment

• Systematic problem solver—thrives in situations with ambiguity and frequent change

• Strong organizational and team leadership abilities

• Motivated by building what’s never been built before
