Avionics Manufacturing and Assembly Role
This role will support the Avionics Manufacturing and Assembly Team with the ongoing production of avionics items, the installation of avionics onto aircraft, and support during the commissioning process of new aircraft. The role will include the repair and basic rework of incoming items as well as following testing programs to return the items to service.
The candidate will be expected to be comfortable working within an electronics assembly space as part of a larger production line for the Windracers ULTRA vehicles. They will be part of a small team responsible for the overall delivery of avionics for the product and will be comfortable moving from task to task throughout the manufacturing process. There will be work both following standard engineering drawings and specifications, as well as work that is less defined where the candidate can input their prior knowledge and expertise.
The role will involve both bench based, and standing work, as well as opportunities to work away from the production facility supporting our post production flight operations within the UK.
