Avionics Assembly Technician
About The Position
The Electronics Assembler is a vital execution role within the production team at Allocortech, Inc. Operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, the incumbent is responsible for the mechanical assembly, wiring, and integration of flight-critical electronics for production UAV, eVTOL, and advanced marine programs. Reporting directly to the Director of Operations / Production, the Associate transforms printed circuit boards (PCBAs) and structural components into certified avionics, power distribution hubs, and flight computers. This role suits a detail-oriented, high-dexterity professional who takes personal pride in the craftsmanship of safety-critical hardware.
Requirements
- Minimum 1–2 years of hands-on electronics assembly experience, including a verified track record with wire harness fabrication and assembly.
- High school diploma or GED equivalent.
- Ability to accurately read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, wire lists, and multi-layered wire routing diagrams.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working with standard hand tools, wire strippers, crimpers, and digital calipers.
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual as defined under ITAR 22 C.F.R. § 120.15) due to export control requirements on flight hardware.
- Accurate color vision for wire color-code identification; manual dexterity for manipulation of tiny components; corrected vision sufficient to inspect small hardware; ability to sit or stand for extended assembly periods.
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on soldering and rework experience (through-hole or SMT) is a strong plus, though not required.
- Active or previous certifications in IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, or J-STD-001.
- Experience building aerospace avionics, power conversion equipment, or complex electric systems.
- Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality management assembly rules.
Responsibilities
- Assemble complex electromechanical units, including flight computers, motor controllers, and battery management enclosures, using specialized hand tools and calibrated torque drivers.
- Fabricate, crimp, route, and terminate wire harnesses and connectors per engineering drawings and schematics.
- Mount components and hardware into chassis housings, ensuring perfect mechanical fit and alignment.
- Apply conformal coatings, epoxies, and thermal interface materials precisely to safeguard assemblies against harsh aerospace environments.
- Handle all assemblies and hardware in strict accordance with Allocortech ESD safe-handling procedures (including wrist straps, static-dissipative mats, and protective packaging).
- Conduct visual self-inspections to proactively identify mechanical misalignment, loose hardware, or component damage prior to final testing.
- Document and flag build discrepancies or Bill of Materials (BOM) anomalies directly to production engineering to prevent line bottlenecks.
- Review production travelers, engineering drawings, and schematics to guarantee complete technical compliance during the build process.
- Track and update build status digitally inside the company ERP / MRP system, logging serial numbers and batch tracking with high data-entry accuracy.
- Maintain tool calibration logs and clean-room workstation organization in compliance with OSHA and AS9100 requirements.
