About The Position

We're looking for an exceptional Senior Precision Assembly Technician with 20+ years of hands-on precision assembly experience, ideally in a development or R&D environment and preferably with experience building hardware for space applications. This is a great fit for someone who is highly independent, self-driven, and comfortable working in ambiguity. In this role, you won't always have a perfect process or complete instructions — you'll need to quickly find the right information, ask smart questions, and keep work moving. We need someone who can learn fast and contribute from day one.
