About the role
We are seeking an experienced Aerospace Technician to join our growing team developing advanced airborne vision and detection systems for both manned and unmanned aircraft platforms. Our systems integrate high-performance imaging sensors, onboard processing, and intelligent detection capabilities into ruggedised camera pods deployed across fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
This role is ideal for a hands-on technician who enjoys precision assembly work, thrives in a structured quality environment, and takes pride in building high-value, low-volume systems to an exceptional standard.
You will work closely with engineers and production staff across the full lifecycle of the build process — from incoming goods and inventory management through to assembly, documentation, integration, and testing. The role also offers involvement in R&D and prototype development activities supporting next-generation aerospace systems.
