Senior Technician

STRIX 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.

We'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.

• Read and work independently from mechanical drawings, BOMs, and build documentation
• Perform 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 units
• Perform basic electro-mechanical troubleshooting and rework
• Maintain build quality and flag design-for-manufacturability (DFM) issues to engineering
• Support fit checks, functional testing, and quality inspection of completed units
• Occasionally support on-site installation of docking stations at customer/test locations (some travel)
• Help document and refine build procedures as processes mature

• 2–5 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 specifications
• Proficient with hand and power tools; comfortable with fasteners, adhesives/sealants, and basic wiring
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset — this hardware needs to work in the field
• Able to work independently and troubleshoot issues without constant oversight
• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) due to export control (ITAR) requirements on this product line
• Willingness to travel occasionally for field installs

Nice to have:

• Experience with drone, robotics, or other aerospace-adjacent hardware
• Prior experience in a startup or low-volume/high-mix production environment
• Basic familiarity with electrical systems or wiring harnesses

• Ground-floor opportunity at a growing defense-tech company with a real, fielded product
• Direct line of sight from your work to units that ship and get used
• Equity participation in the company's growth
• Colorado-based production facility, on-site collaborative team
