Contract Aerospace Electromechanical Technician

Maglev Aero Inc. • Boston, MA

14h • Onsite

About The Position

Our innovative startup seeks driven, high performance, high energy independent achievers who can work in a multidisciplinary team to build a groundbreaking electric VTOL platform that will be the foundation for a range of high performance ultra quiet Vertical Flight Systems. MagLev Aero is seeking an electromechanical technician to help build its electric propulsion thruster system prototypes. In this role, you will fabricate and test electromagnetic assemblies, wire harnesses, and mechanical test equipment. You will also perform mechanical and electronics rework, calibrate sensors, and take quality assurance measurements. You will work alongside our engineering team on-site and your craftsmanship will be a key contribution to the success of this project.
