🚀 Join SE3 Labs as Founding Drone & Avionics Technician
About the role
Help us get our autonomous systems airborne. You’ll own electrical integration from prototype to flight. Early team, deep tech, high impact.
About SE3
SE3 Labs is building Spatial AI by combining 3D computer vision with large language models (LLMs). We believe the ability to reason about and act within physical space is foundational to unlocking the next generation of automation, from construction to smart infrastructure, and ultimately, defense.
Now, we’re building the physical platform to bring Spatial AI to life. That means high-performance, real-world robotic systems (starting with UAVs) and we’re looking for a hands-on operator who’s ready to bring these machines into the real world.
About the Role
As our Founding Drone & Avionics Technician, you’ll play a key role in getting our fleet of autonomous drones ready for flight. Working closely with our engineering team, you’ll establish our professional-grade avionics shop, build harnesses and integration workflows, and ensure every system is measured, tested, and flight-proven. You won’t just follow instructions, you’ll improve the way we work on your initiative and directly with our engineering team.
What You’ll Work On
•
Wire & Build: Assemble and test prototype avionics units, including harnesses and electrical subsystems for UAVs
•
Integrate & Checkout: Install, measure, and verify electronics inside flight vehicles, ensuring robust, repeatable, and high-quality integration
•
Own the Shop: Set up, organize, and maintain our avionics workspace by selecting quality tools and building out a scalable integration process
•
Improve & Suggest: Spot design flaws, propose improvements, and help us move faster and build better
•
Test & Feedback: Support qualification and development testing, from vibration to thermal tests, and loop feedback back to engineering
Your Profile
•
You’ve completed a technical apprenticeship or training in a relevant field, e.g., Fluggeräteelektroniker, Elektroniker, or you’re EASA-certified
•
You bring 3+ years of hands-on experience assembling wiring harnesses and electronics, ideally in aerospace or high-reliability systems
•
You’re proficient in soldering wires, connectors, and PCBs, and you know your way around aerospace crimping and wire tools
•

•
Team Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece
•
Mentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth
Our Process
1.
Intro Call (20 min): Let’s get to know each other (conducted by Michael, our Chief of Staff)
2.
Technical Interview (45 min): (with Lukas, our Hardware Lead)
3.
Onsite Trial/Case (1.5 hrs): We’ll build or test something together, just like on the job (together with our Hardware Team)
4.
Team Dinner/Lunch: See if it’s a culture fit on both sides
