Electromechanical Technician

Barrios Technology•Glen Burnie, MD

About The Position

Barrios Technology is seeking an Electromechanical Technician to support the development, assembly, integration, and testing of spaceflight mechanisms, ground support equipment, and laboratory test systems. Working alongside partner Intuitive Machines, the technician will contribute to the development and testing of critical spaceflight systems. The role includes fabricating and maintaining test equipment, conducting environmental tests, gathering and evaluating performance data, and supporting laboratory equipment procurement and budget tracking. The position is generally based in an office environment, though work may take place indoors or outdoors depending on the task. It may involve sitting for extended periods, lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds, and entering test facility areas. Some commuting and travel to other installations may be required. The role requires regular attendance, teamwork, professional conduct, and the ability to adjust schedules for peak periods and surge requirements. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and successfully complete a U.S. government background investigation; eligibility for access to classified information may also be required. A post-offer, pre-employment drug test is a condition of employment.
