Support the preparation of parts, wiring, connectors, housings, brackets, and assemblies
Use basic hand tools, workshop equipment, and test equipment safely and accurately
Help maintain organised workspaces, parts, tools, files, and build documentation
Support improvements to assembly processes, test procedures, and product reliability
Work with the engineering team to identify build problems and suggest practical improvements
Assist with 3D printed parts, fixtures, jigs, or prototype components where required

Good attention to detail and pride in producing neat, reliable work
Ability to follow instructions, drawings, procedures, and checklists
Basic understanding of electrical and mechanical systems
Confident using hand tools and basic workshop equipment
Ability to test, diagnose, and report product issues
Good organisational skills and ability to keep records clearly
Willingness to learn new technical skills
Reliable, punctual, and able to work as part of a team

Desirable Skills

Graduate or early-career engineer with an engineering, electronics, mechanical, product design, or similar background
Experience with CAD or 3D modelling
Experience with 3D printing
Experience assembling electronics, drones, robotics, RC systems, or similar products
Basic soldering, wiring, crimping, or connector assembly experience
Experience using test equipment such as multimeters or power supplies
Experience with ArduPilot, Pixhawk, or drone-related systems
Basic understanding of serial communication, sensors, telemetry, or control systems
Experience creating or updating build instructions, test sheets, or technical documentation

About the Role

This is a practical, hands-on role focused on assembly, testing, fault finding, and supporting product development. It would suit someone who enjoys building and improving real products, is willing to learn, and takes care in producing consistent, high-quality work.
