Job Description

Overview

We are a small, fast-moving team building next-generation gas turbine engines to power the future of aerospace, defense, and energy. We are looking for a hands-on Lead Technician to anchor our production floor as we build our first engines, executing complex builds and mentoring junior technicians.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute complex engine assembly, integration, and sub-assembly builds to drawing and work instruction requirements.
  • Set the pace and quality standard on the shop floor; own your work from start to sign-off.
  • Train, mentor, and support junior technicians across build tasks, tools, and shop practices.
  • Identify and escalate build issues, non-conformances, and engineering discrepancies early.
  • Support build traveler documentation, redlines, and as-built recordkeeping.
  • Maintain FOD discipline, tool control, and calibration compliance across the team.
  • Assist the Manufacturing Supervisor with workflow coordination, kitting, and part readiness.

Requirements

  • 5–10 years of hands-on experience in aerospace manufacturing, engine assembly, or precision hardware production.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead or mentor other technicians in a build environment.
  • Deep proficiency in precision assembly: torque practices, thread inserts, press fits, and safety-wiring.
  • Comfortable reading and building to engineering drawings, assembly models, and work instructions.
  • Experience with turbine engines, gas turbines, or propulsion hardware strongly preferred.
  • A&P license a plus.
  • High ownership mindset, low ego, and pride in quality workmanship.
