Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Propulsion Technician to join our X-BAT Propulsion Engineering team, specializing in UAV propulsion systems. In this role, you will be responsible for the assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of low-bypass turbofan engines in both test cell environments and pre/post-flight operations. Our team owns the engine from start to finish, requiring technicians with a high level of expertise, attention to detail, and a strong problem-solving mindset.

We are particularly looking for candidates with an A&P license, prior experience working with aircraft engines, and a background in aerospace companies or military aviation maintenance. If you are a self-starter, high-energy technician who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

What you will do in this role:
  • Conduct engine assembly, disassembly, and integration for UAV propulsion systems.
  • Perform pre-flight and post-flight inspections, ensuring all propulsion systems meet operational standards.
  • Operate test cells for engine validation, tuning, and troubleshooting.
  • Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and performance issues related to propulsion systems.
  • Work closely with engineers and flight test teams to ensure system readiness.
  • Maintain detailed records of maintenance activities, inspections, and modifications.
  • Follow strict safety protocols and standard operating procedures in handling high-performance UAV propulsion systems.
Required qualifications:
  • Minimum 3-5 years of experience working on aircraft engines (military or civilian).
  • Prior experience at an aerospace company or military aviation unit.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with gas turbine, reciprocating, or hybrid propulsion systems.
  • Ability to interpret technical manuals, schematics, and engineering documents.
  • Comfortable working in high-energy, high-precision environments.
  • Strong safety mindset, with meticulous attention to detail.
  • U.S. Citizenship or ability to comply with ITAR requirements.
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) License.
  • Military background, particularly in jet propulsion, UAVs, or rotary-wing aircraft.
  • Experience with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion.
  • Knowledge of fuel systems, ignition systems, and advanced propulsion technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with engine dynamometers, test cells, or ground support equipment.
  • FAA Powerplant or military equivalent engine qualifications.
  • Ability to work independently, taking ownership of full-cycle propulsion system maintenance.
