Why this role mattersAs Manufacturing Technician on the HAPS team, you will be hands‑on at the heart of building something genuinely unprecedented — a stratospheric, unmanned electric aircraft that will set a new mark in aviation history. Your work spans the full breadth of assembly and integration: fabricating lightweight carbon fibre composite structures, building cable harnesses and high‑density battery packs, integrating avionic subsystems, and running end‑to‑end ground tests to verify that every system is ready to fly. Beyond the build itself, you will play an active role in developing and refining the assembly and testing processes that will carry this programme from early prototypes into a mature, repeatable production flow — working closely with engineers to transition new designs from drawing board to reality.

Your day‑to‑day responsibilities

Assembly of large, but very lightweight unmanned aircraft

Fabrication of lightweight aircraft structures/components and building CFRP composite parts

Development of new assembly, integration and testing processes, and tools for an ultra‑light UAV

Manufacturing of electronics assemblies and sub‑level components (such as cable harness manufacturing and battery manufacturing of state‑of‑the‑art high power density batteries)

Transitioning new designs from engineering to manufacturing





What we’re looking forMust haves

2+ years of relevant experience as an electrical/electromechanical/electronic technician with a hands‑on approach

Experience with mechanical prototyping (3D printing, using basic mechanical workshop equipment)

Basic knowledge of CAD tools

Nice to haves

Hands‑on experience in aircraft, robot, race car or similar system prototyping & manufacturing

Good systems and physics understanding

Experience with composites

Experience working with electronic equipment (prototype boards, harness, test setups)

Development of process improvements and setups to improve cycle times, repeatability, and maturity

Proactive, can‑do attitude

Curiosity and passion about technology
