It’s the kind of mission diversity that demands a fresh way of thinking.\nWe began with an early bet on hybrid, when the mobility industry was focused on batteries. We designed, tested, and validated our first 1 MW high-speed generator in 12 months. And then we pushed further, developing systems with greater power density in less time. Today, our Hybrid Power Systems offer outputs ranging from 20 kW to 4 MW, with applications in the air or on the ground.\nOne of those applications is Laila, an unmanned drone designed for critical logistics and defense missions. With its 100 kW-class onboard Hybrid Power System, Laila can support medical cold-chain transport or serve as an aerial platform for counter-UAS measures.\nThe market interest has been overwhelming: Over 30 inbound requests from leading US and global manufacturers, and 14+ DoD contracts.\nOur team comes from deep tech and aerospace, with backgrounds spanning drone and aircraft development, high-volume production, and electrified mobility.\nWe operate with urgency and ownership at every level. We validated high-speed generator technology faster than our peers, not because we skipped steps, but because we've been doing this long enough to know which ones matter most.\nCreating the future of power, in the air and on the ground, is a challenge we’ve been training our entire lives for. If that sounds like you, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Composite Technician to support the fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing of composite and metallic structures across our aircraft platforms. You’ll work closely with engineers and other technicians to manufacture composite parts, complete bonded assemblies, and install airframe components, propulsion mounts, wiring harnesses, and actuation systems.\nThis role is highly hands-on and dynamic. You’ll support prototype builds, composite layups, mold and tool preparation, vacuum bagging, oven curing, trimming, bonding, and final aircraft assembly across multiple projects. You’ll play a critical role in getting our aircraft built, integrated, and ready for flight.\nYour Responsibilities\nPrepare molds and tooling, including cleaning, applying release agents, and preparing positive and negative molds\n\nPerform composite layups using prepreg and wet-layup materials\n\nMix and apply resins, structural adhesives, sealants, fillers, and primers in accordance with work instructions\n\nPerform vacuum bagging, leak checks, and oven-cure operations\n\nTrim, drill, sand, finish, and prepare composite parts for bonding and assembly\n\nAssemble bonded composite and composite-to-metal structures\n\nSet up and operate tools such as torque wrenches, drills, saws, sanders, heat guns, and soldering irons\n\nFabricate and assemble test rigs, test articles, jigs, and fixtures\n\nInterpret engineering models, drawings, work instructions, layup schedules, and test procedures\n\nFabricate, assemble, and handle tight-tolerance aerospace components\n\nAssemble and install prototype aircraft mechanical and electrical components\n\nSupport in-house and external structural and systems testing\n\nInspect parts for appearance, defects, function, dimensions, and tolerances\n\nOperate ground-support equipment such as forklifts and gantry cranes\n\nMaintain composite materials, tools, equipment, and shop areas in a clean and organized condition\n\nTravel occasionally to machine and fabrication shops to obtain parts or purchase equipment\n\nWork collaboratively and communicate effectively with teams of diverse backgrounds and skills\n\nYour Background Should Be\nHigh school diploma or equivalent\n\nHands-on experience with composite fabrication, repair, or assembly\n\nExperience with prepreg or wet layup, mold preparation, vacuum bagging, and oven curing\n\nExperience applying resins, structural adhesives, sealants, fillers, and primers\n\nExperience trimming, drilling, sanding, and finishing composite components\n\nExperience using hand tools, powered tools, and precision measuring equipment\n\nExperience assembling, fabricating, or handling critical and tight-tolerance components\n\nAbility to read engineering drawings, work instructions, and specifications\n\nUnderstanding of composite workmanship standards, material handling, and contamination control\n\nExperience manufacturing or assembling aircraft and aircraft components is a plus\n\nExperience with bonded aerospace structures is a plus\n\nExperience operating forklifts, gantry cranes, or other ground-support equipment is a plus\n\nCNC machining experience is a plus\n\nOSHA certification is a plus\n\nKnowledge of quality procedures, inspection methods, dimensions, and tolerances is a plus","description_format":"text","description_chars":4797,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"high_school","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Aircraft
