Senior Technician

About STRIXSTRIX Drones USA is building next-generation unmanned aerial system technology, including commercial and defense platforms and capabilities. We're a fast-moving hardware team standing up domestic production in Colorado, and we're looking for hands-on technicians who want to build real systems.The RoleWe're hiring a Senior Technician to support the mechanical assembly and build-out of our drone docking stations — the ground infrastructure that houses, charges, and launches our aerial systems. You'll work from engineering drawings and build documentation to fabricate, assemble, and integrate mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-systems, and you'll be one of the first people to touch every unit that goes out the door.This is a core production hire: you'll work semi-independently, take ownership of sub-assembly and final integration, and help us build the repeatable processes that scale as we grow the team.What You'll DoRead and work independently from mechanical drawings, BOMs, and build documentationPerform precision mechanical assembly using hand and power tools (fastening, torque-spec work, bonding/sealing compounds, basic wiring/harnessing)Build sub-assemblies and perform final integration of docking station unitsPerform basic electro-mechanical troubleshooting and reworkMaintain build quality and flag design-for-manufacturability (DFM) issues to engineeringSupport fit checks, functional testing, and quality inspection of completed unitsOccasionally support on-site installation of docking stations at customer/test locations (some travel)Help document and refine build procedures as processes matureWhat You Bring2–5 years of experience in mechanical or electro-mechanical assembly (aerospace, robotics, industrial equipment, or similar precision manufacturing preferred)Comfortable reading mechanical drawings and following torque/tolerance specificationsProficient with hand and power tools; comfortable with fasteners, adhesives/sealants, and basic wiringStrong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset — this hardware needs to work in the fieldAble to work independently and troubleshoot issues without constant oversightMust be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) due to export control (ITAR) requirements on this product lineWillingness to travel occasionally for field installsNice to have:Experience with drone, robotics, or other aerospace-adjacent hardwarePrior experience in a startup or low-volume/high-mix production environmentBasic familiarity with electrical systems or wiring harnessesWhy Join UsGround-floor opportunity at a growing defense-tech company with a real, fielded productDirect line of sight from your work to units that ship and get usedEquity participation in the company's growthColorado-based production facility, on-site collaborative team
