About the role

Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.
This is a hands-on role that combines mechanical and electrical assembly, prototype fabrication, and workshop development.
You'll also play a critical role in setting up and maintaining our prototyping workshop, ensuring it is safe, functional, and efficient.

You will support the build and integration of test rigs, sub-systems, and full-scale prototypes as we develop our electric aircraft.
Support the assembly of mechanical and electrical components for prototypes and test rigs.
Perform basic machining, 3D printing, and fabrication tasks (e.g., cutting, drilling, and fastening).
Collaborate with engineers to build, test, and iterate on functional prototypes.
Provide feedback on design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA).

Technical diploma or equivalent experience in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronic systems.
3+ years of proven hands-on experience in prototype assembly (mechanical and electrical).
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
Comfortable with hand tools, power tools, and workshop equipment.
Good communication and teamwork skills.

Experience in an R&D, aerospace, automotive, or startup environment.
Experience with CAD tools and/or fabrication techniques (e.g., CNC, welding, additive manufacturing).
Familiarity with test instrumentation, DAQ systems, or low-voltage electronics.

Help set up workshop infrastructure, including tools, benches, safety systems, and inventory.
Maintain an organized and well-equipped workshop environment.
Manage tool calibration, equipment maintenance, and consumable supplies.

We are looking for a Prototype Workshop Technician to join our growing team.
At Heart Aerospace we develop the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers, an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km.
