Step into a day building the future of flight
When you arrive at our Frisco, TX facility, your first stop is the MRP queue. You review work orders, pull engineering drawings, and gather materials for the next build. Before lunch, you’re assembling avionics for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), routing harnesses cleanly, and validating connections. The afternoon brings a GCS configuration, a quick composite touch-up on a fairing, and support for an engine ground run. You document everything per approved procedures, collaborate with teammates to hit delivery targets, and leave knowing a fully tested aircraft system is one step closer to the sky.
