Our team owns the engine from start to finish, requiring technicians with a high level of expertise, attention to detail, and a strong problem-solving mindset.

We are particularly looking for candidates with an A&P license, prior experience working with aircraft engines, and a background in aerospace companies or military aviation maintenance. If you are a self-starter, high-energy technician who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct engine assembly, disassembly, and integration for UAV propulsion systems.
• Perform pre-flight and post-flight inspections, ensuring all propulsion systems meet operational standards.
• Operate test cells for engine validation, tuning, and troubleshooting.
• Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and performance issues related to propulsion systems.
• Work closely with engineers and flight test teams to ensure system readiness.
• Maintain detailed records of maintenance activities, inspections, and modifications.
• Follow strict safety protocols and standard operating procedures in handling high-performance UAV propulsion systems.

Requirements:

• Minimum 3-5 years of experience working on aircraft engines (military or civilian).
• Prior experience at an aerospace company or military aviation unit.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with gas turbine, reciprocating, or hybrid propulsion systems.
• Ability to interpret technical manuals, schematics, and engineering documents.
• Comfortable working in high-energy, high-precision environments.
• Strong safety mindset, with meticulous attention to detail.
• U.S. Citizenship or ability to comply with ITAR requirements.

Preferences:

• Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) License.
• Military background, particularly in jet propulsion, UAVs, or rotary-wing aircraft.
• Experience with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion.
• Knowledge of fuel systems, ignition systems, and advanced propulsion technologies.
• Hands-on experience with engine dynamometers, test cells, or ground support equipment.
• FAA Powerplant or military equivalent engine qualifications.
• Ability to work independently, taking ownership of full-cycle propulsion system maintenance.

Your primary focus will be on ensuring test results accurately characterise engine and subsystem performance, de-risk integration, and inform flight readiness decisions. This role is hands-on, data-driven, and highly cross-functional, requiring close collaboration with propulsion engineers, design engineers, technicians, controls, airframe, and flight test teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning the propulsion test program from requirements through execution, data review, and test-to-flight handoff.
• Architecting, designing, analysing, and building test stands and fixtures for engine, fuel, oil, bleed air, and TVC-related testing.
• Defining and implementing instrumentation plans, DAQ architecture, calibration methods, and test procedures.
• Leading ground test campaigns, including performance mapping, transient response, and edge-of-envelope testing.
• Analysing test data to validate performance, identify anomalies, and drive design or control updates.
• Partnering with propulsion REs and controls engineers to ensure test coverage closes risk against CONOPS and mission profiles.
• Driving root cause investigations for test anomalies and implementing corrective actions.
• Authoring test plans, reports, and readiness reviews; representing propulsion test in design and flight readiness reviews.

Requirements include a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related engineering discipline, 5+ years of experience in propulsion or engine testing in aerospace development environments, and hands-on experience with engine test cells, test stand design, instrumentation, and DAQ systems.
