We are seeking an experienced Aerospace Technician to join our growing team developing advanced airborne vision and detection systems for both manned and unmanned aircraft platforms. Our systems integrate high-performance imaging sensors, onboard processing, and intelligent detection capabilities into ruggedised camera pods deployed across fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
This role is ideal for a hands-on technician who enjoys precision assembly work, thrives in a structured quality environment, and takes pride in building high-value, low-volume systems to an exceptional standard.
You will work closely with engineers and production staff across the full lifecycle of the build process — from incoming goods and inventory management through to assembly, documentation, integration, and testing. The role also offers involvement in R&D and prototype development activities supporting next-generation aerospace systems.
