Your Mission

As an Avionics Technician in the AIT team, you will play a critical role in the final assembly, integration, and checkout of our launch vehicle's avionic and electromechanical systems. You will be responsible for routing and installing complex wire harnesses, integrating precision sensors and avionics units, and supporting critical test operations. This role requires a high degree of craftsmanship, working with both advanced composite and metallic structures, and operating safely around high-pressure and cryogenic fluid systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Route, secure, and install complex vehicle wire harnesses in accordance with engineering drawings and aerospace standards.
  • Prepare surfaces and bond ClickBond clips and standoffs to metallic and composite structures using aerospace-grade adhesives.
  • Install and mechanically secure telemetry modules, batteries, and other avionics enclosures.
  • Use torque wrenches and calibrated hand tools to mate structural and electrical components, ensuring strict adherence to torque specifications and engineering drawings.
  • Perform high-reliability crimping, pinning, and soldering on flight connectors and wire splices.
  • Execute precise rework and modifications on existing wire harnesses, connectors, and pinouts based on engineering change orders.
  • Install and connect critical flight sensors (pressure transducers, thermocouples, RTDs, accelerometers, etc.) and verify functionality.
  • Install fluid lines using Swagelok fittings and components for instrumentation and purging systems.
  • Work in close proximity to or directly interface avionics components with Cryogenic Liquid Oxygen (LOX) and Liquid Propellant (LPP) systems, adhering to strict cleanliness and safety protocols.
  • Utilize multimeters, megohmmeters, and specialized test equipment to perform continuity, isolation, and bonding checks.
  • Conduct integrated system testing and pre-launch checkouts alongside test engineers.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Completed vocational training as an aircraft mechanic specializing in avionics technician, maintenance technician or comparable training.
  • 2+ years of experience in aerospace, rocketry, aviation, or high-reliability manufacturing (e.g. defense, motorsports).
  • Proven experience as an avionics, electrical, or electromechanical technician in aerospace, aviation, or high-reliability manufacturing.
  • Proficient with precision hand tools, calibrated torque wrenches, and electrical test equipment (multimeters).
  • Experience working on both carbon fiber/composite and aluminum aerostructures.
  • Strong knowledge of aerospace crimping, soldering, and harness manufacturing standards.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex electrical schematics, wire lists, and mechanical engineering drawings.
  • Ability to work in confined spaces and at heights.
  • Familiarity with safety protocols surrounding high-pressure gases and cryogenics.
  • Comfortable working with hazardous materials, structural epoxies, primers, and solvents.
  • Ability to stand for long periods, crawl into tight spaces, and work from ladders or elevated platforms.
  • Fine motor skills and dexterity for handling small components and delicate wiring.
  • Ability to lift up to 35 lbs regularly.
  • Fluent in English and German.
  • High attention to detail and strong commitment to flight safety and quality.

Bonus Skills

  • Certifications such as IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Requirements for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies) or NASA-STD-8739.
  • Prior experience with launch vehicle integration or test operations.

Benefits

  • Employee Participation Program: share in company success through virtual company share program
  • 30 days of vacation
  • Company pension plan with 20% employer contribution after probation period
  • Subsidised lunch
  • Sponsored sports club memberships
