Job description

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Sr. Avionics Harness Technician at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Production organization. This is a small but growing team of highly motivated people passionate about delivering quality products and services on time, with unquestionable value. You’ll play a critical role in building, operating, integrating, testing, diagnosing, inspecting, and maintaining highly reliable avionics systems, such as wiring harnesses and electromechanical hardware. You'll also help with the installation of those systems onto aircraft. Your work will support various product development phases, including prototyping, research and development, aircraft certification, and recurring production. This is a fantastic opportunity to serve as the last line of defense in ensuring our safety-critical systems are reliable and built to the intended engineering requirements.

  • Build, operate, integrate, test, diagnose, inspect, and maintain highly reliable systems, including wire harnesses, cable assemblies, avionics assemblies, and circuit card assemblies
  • Read, interpret, and work from drawings, controlled documentation, and processes such as drawings, layouts, assembly procedures/work instructions, schematics, engineering drawings, and master parts lists
  • Develop and improve manufacturing and installation instructions
  • Assure product and process quality by testing finished-product and process capabilities
  • Resolve product non-conformances and collaborate with the quality team to implement corrective actions
  • Record work performed in a clear, precise, and complete manner
  • Assist with the development of production and improvement processes

Basic Success Criteria

  • 8+ years of professional experience building/fabricating wire harnesses or cable assemblies, or other testing, integration, or mechanical assembly experience
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience reviewing technical designs and working from drawings, schematics, layouts, assembly/procedures, master parts lists, and other controlled documentation
  • One or more of the following certifications: IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, IPC J-STD-001, NASA-STD-8739.4
  • Ability to proficiently use a PC/Mac, Google Suite, manufacturing execution systems, JIRA, or equivalent tools
  • Ability to lift 25-pound boxes to a height of 3-4 feet, with or without reasonable accommodation

Preferred Criteria

  • Experience working in an electro-mechanical manufacturing company, a precision manufacturing company, or a high-volume manufacturing company
  • Electro-mechanical assembly and prototype development experience
  • Experience setting up and running tests and experiments

Our team is passionate about delivering on our commitments, solving hard problems, continuously improving, and helping the business succeed.
