About the role

  • We're looking for a UAS Technician to join our assembly and manufacturing team: working hands-on with airframes, avionics, propulsion systems, and payloads to bring our vehicles from components to flight-ready condition.
  • You'll be part of a small, close-knit production team working directly alongside engineers and responsible for the quality of what leaves our floor.

Responsibilities

  • Perform hands-on assembly of UAS platforms: including airframe construction, avionics installation, wiring harness integration, propulsion system build-up, and payload fitment, working to engineering drawings and assembly instructions.
  • Manage and maintain accurate bill of materials (BOM) records: tracking component usage, flagging discrepancies between as-built configurations and engineering documentation, and supporting engineering change order (ECO) processes.
  • Document build records, test results, and non-conformances in our quality management system, maintaining full traceability from components to completed vehicles.
  • Identify and escalate build issues, component defects, and design-for-manufacturability concerns to engineering
  • you'll be a key feedback loop between the shop floor and the design team.
  • Support rework and repair activities on returned or fielded vehicles: diagnosing faults, replacing components, and restoring platforms to serviceable condition.
  • Identify and escalate build issues, component defects, and design-for-manufacturability concerns to engineering; you'll be a key feedback loop between the shop floor and the design team.
  • including airframe construction, avionics installation, wiring harness integration, propulsion system build-up, and payload fitment, working to engineering drawings and assembly instructions.

Requirements

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly instructions, wiring diagrams, and bills of materials.
  • Comfort with inventory and parts management: tracking components, identifying shortfalls, and maintaining accurate records.
  • either through formal technical training, prior employment in a manufacturing or repair environment, or a demonstrated personal track record working with UAVs, RC systems, or similar electromechanical platforms.
  • Required
  • Practical hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical assembly: either through formal technical training, prior employment in a manufacturing or repair environment, or a demonstrated personal track record working with UAVs, RC systems, or similar electromechanical platforms.
  • A methodical, quality-first approach to assembly work: you work to procedure, take care with your builds, and understand that precision matters when systems will fly.
  • Basic competency with common hand tools, torque tools, soldering equipment, and electronic test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies).
  • Attention to detail and a low error rate: you catch your own mistakes and flag others' before they become problems.
  • Eligibility for a Government of Canada security clearance
  • active clearance is a significant asset.
  • A builder's mindset: you take ownership of your work and look for ways to improve how things are done, not just complete the task in front of you.
  • Preferred
  • Post-secondary education or certification in aviation maintenance technology, electronics technology, mechanical engineering technology, or a closely related technical discipline.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience in a UAS, aerospace, or defence manufacturing or MRO environment.
  • Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality management frameworks and the documentation discipline they require.
  • Experience with ERP or MRP systems for inventory tracking, BOM management, and production order processing.

Skills

  • working hands-on with airframes, avionics, propulsion systems, and payloads to bring our vehicles from components to flight-ready condition.

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation and meaningful upside from joining an early-stage company at the forefront of the defence technology sector.

Visa & Work Authorization
