About the role

Imagine this stepping into a hands-on role where every test you run directly shapes the performance and reliability of next-generation UAV systems. As a Test Technician at Destinus, you are right at the intersection of engineering, hardware, and real-world validation. This is not lab theory. This is real hardware, real data, real impact. You will work closely with Test Engineers and Production teams to make sure what we build performs exactly as designed, every single time.

At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

What You’ll Do

· Execute mechanical, electrical, and functional tests on UAV subsystems and components in production and development environments

· Support ground and system-level testing by preparing setups, instruments, tooling, and test articles

· Work side by side with Test Engineers to run test procedures, capture results, and identify deviations

· Document test results clearly and accurately to support traceability, compliance, and continuous improvement

· Troubleshoot test failures, support root cause analysis, and help close the loop with engineering and production teams

· Maintain test equipment, fixtures, and benches to ensure safe, repeatable, and efficient testing operations

· Follow safety, quality, and process standards in a highly regulated aerospace and defense environment

Requirements

What You’ll Need

· Technical education or vocational training in mechanics, electronics, aerospace, mechatronics, or a related field

· Hands-on experience in a test, production, or laboratory environment, preferably in aerospace, automotive, or defense

· Ability to read and understand technical drawings, schematics, and test procedures

· Experience working with measurement equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, sensors, or data acquisition systems

· Solid documentation skills and comfort working with test reports and basic digital tools

Nice to have

· Nice to have experience supporting environmental, vibration, or system integration testing

Who You Are

You like working with your hands and your head. You are detail-oriented but not afraid to move fast when needed. You enjoy structured environments where precision matters, yet you stay flexible when tests do not go as planned. You communicate clearly with engineers and technicians alike, take ownership of your work, and understand that quality testing is critical to building world-class aerospace systems.
