## Description

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Lead Production Technician to oversee and coordinate the technical fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing of complex electro-mechanical and avionics systems.

The ideal candidate will provide technical guidance, ensure quality standards, and collaborate closely with engineering and production teams in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead and mentor a team of technicians in aircraft, automotive, or similar fabrication and assembly processes, including structural fabrication, mechanical integration, composites fabrication, and avionics build/integration/test.

- Supervise and participate in airframe construction techniques such as riveting, use of mechanical fasteners, nut plates, and ensure adherence to quality standards.

- Oversee mechanical assembly of complex electro-mechanical assemblies, high-quality wire harnesses, test racks, junction boxes, and component fabrication including hand soldering.

- Coordinate and perform validation and testing of electronic components using equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and test racks.

- Review and verify wiring diagrams and assembly instructions to ensure accurate build and integration.

- Manage workflow in a dynamic environment, rapidly adjusting roles and responsibilities to meet production priorities and deadlines.

- Facilitate effective verbal and written communication between technicians, engineering, and production teams to resolve technical challenges and improve processes.

- Assist in troubleshooting and diagnosing issues discovered during functional checkouts and tests.

- Ensure compliance with safety protocols and regulatory requirements.

Requirements:

- Demonstrated broad experience with aircraft, automotive, or similar fabrication, assembly, and operation including both structural and electronic systems.

- Proficient with hand tools, light power tools, and standard computer applications (web browsers, word processing).

- Working knowledge of electrical components and ability to read wiring diagrams.

- Strong organizational skills with the ability to lead a team and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

- Excellent communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

- Experience with validation, testing, and mechanical assembly of complex electro-mechanical systems.

- U.S. Citizenship is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Prior hands-on experience building kits, models, or similar product lines.

- Experience programming integrated digital systems by loading firmware.

- Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license or equivalent training.
