  • Author or revise shop procedures and contribute to process development for new builds and test configurations
  • Maintain detailed and accurate documentation of work performed, including changes to aircraft systems or configurations
  • Support and execute ground and flight test operations, including pre-flight inspections, test setup, and post-test analysis
  • Identify and proactively address safety or quality issues in the shop or hangar environment

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in experimental, military, general aviation, or light sport aircraft maintenance
  • Strong understanding of regulatory requirements (FAA, ASTM, etc.) and experimental aircraft certification practices
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently with limited oversight in a dynamic R&D environment
  • Advanced troubleshooting skills without reliance on OEM documentation
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical documents
  • An active plan underway to obtain A&P certification
  • Strong organizational skills in managing tools, parts, and test setups
  • Effective verbal and written communication, including clear documentation of changes, issues, and procedures
  • Computer proficiency in file management, spreadsheets, and digital documentation systems
  • Physical ability to lift 45 lbs multiple times per shift and work in a variety of positions
  • Overtime and domestic travel may be required

  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with experimental aircraft, homebuilt aircraft, or prototype engine integration

  • Expertise in at least one aircraft system (e.g., electrical harnessing, avionics wiring, hydraulic / pneumatic systems, etc.)
  • Experience with basic machining, fabrication, or composite repair
  • Prior involvement in flight test programs or engine development projects is highly desirable
  • Working Conditions
