- You assemble our UxV systems according to documented work instructions—structural assembly, propulsion integration, wiring harness installation, electronics integration, and payload assembly.
- You build strictly according to the approved configuration—no improvisation, no undocumented replacement parts, no “we’ll fix it later.”
- You maintain a complete build record for each unit—serial numbers, component traceability, work step approvals. The build record is a certification document.
- You perform functional and acceptance tests (FAT) according to defined test procedures before the unit is sent to Quality Assurance for approval.
- You report any deviation immediately through our formal channel, which is protected by Just Culture.
- You consistently adhere to tool calibration, ESD protection, and FOD (foreign object debris) discipline.
Assembly Technician (m/w/d)
Wels | DC1
Full-time
Permanent employee
What you can expect
As an Assembly Technician, it’s your hands that actually build our flight systems—mechanical assembly, electronic integration, and functional preparation - all in full compliance with future EASA POA requirements.
Your profile
- Education: Completed apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician, electrical technician, mechanic, or comparable technical training. Additional qualifications in aerospace assembly or EASA Part 21G awareness are a strong plus.
- Experience: 2+ years of hands-on assembly experience in a regulated manufacturing environment (aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical technology). Experience with documented work instructions and build records is required.
- Technical Skills: Strong hands-on assembly skills (mechanical and electronic). Soldering according to IPC standards (knowledge of IPC-A-610 is a plus). Ability to read technical drawings, schematics, and work instructions. Proficiency with ERP/MES terminals on the production floor.
- Regulatory Understanding: Understanding of why build compliance and traceability are critical in a certified environment. ESD and FOD discipline. Familiarity with just-culture reporting systems.
- Languages: Working-level German required; basic English skills helpful for technical documentation.
- Attitude: Conscientious and honest—reports a dropped screw instead of hiding it. Meticulous, takes pride in build quality. Prefers to ask for clarification rather than improvise when an instruction doesn’t match reality.
We offer
- A key role in setting up our mass production—the quality of your assembly work directly impacts the safety of our systems
- An environment where honest error reporting is protected rather than punished (Just Culture)
- Direct contact with engineering and quality assurance—your feedback influences actual design decisions
- Modern workshop equipment, calibrated tools, structured onboarding
- Short decision-making processes and open doors are standard practice here. Your ideas won't get lost in bureaucracy; they'll be heard, discussed, and implemented.
- The tech world never stands still, and neither will you. We support your personal and professional development (certifications, conferences, courses) with a dedicated budget and paid time off.
Collective agreement
For this position we offer a gross annual salary starting from € 55.000,00 on a full-time basis. Depending on your qualifications and experience, overpayment is a given for us.
