Job Description:

We are seeking a technician with hands-on engine overhaul experience to support scheduled 250-hour engine overhaul activity and normal organizational-level V-BAT maintenance.

What you'll do:

  • Perform scheduled 250-hour engine overhauls on V-BAT unmanned aircraft systems, including engine removal, teardown, inspection, cleaning, parts replacement, reassembly, installation, rigging, ground run support, and return-to-service documentation.
  • Conduct organizational-level maintenance on V-BAT unmanned aircraft systems and associated Ground Support Equipment.
  • Inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain small UAV piston engines, fuel systems, ignition systems, induction/exhaust components, cooling components, engine mounts, propulsor/ducted-fan interfaces, and related engine accessories.
  • Use technical manuals, work instructions, drawings, inspection criteria, torque specifications, service bulletins, and overhaul procedures to complete engine maintenance accurately and safely.
  • Document all engine overhaul, inspection, discrepancy, repair, replacement, and maintenance actions in accordance with company procedures and applicable quality requirements.
  • Construct wiring harnesses and solder necessary components to maintain V-BAT unmanned aircraft systems and associated GSE.
  • Comply with written training and certification requirements for maintenance personnel.
  • Support the development and improvement of maintenance task instructions, engine overhaul procedures, inspection checklists, and future maintenance manuals.
  • Develop relationships with adjacent organizations, including engineering, quality, production, flight operations, supply chain, and field support, to ensure maintenance and overhaul best practices are in place.
  • Perform normal V-BAT technician duties when engines are not actively being overhauled.
  • Comply with the company’s tool control, FOD prevention, HAZMAT, ESD, and safety programs.

    • Required qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience performing piston engine overhaul, major repair, teardown, inspection, assembly, or rebuild work on aircraft, UAV, small-displacement aviation, powersports, marine, or comparable high-performance engines.
  • Experience working with two-stroke, two-cylinder, opposed/twin-cylinder, air-cooled, gasoline, heavy-fuel, or small UAV propulsion systems, or directly comparable engine platforms.
  • Ability to read and follow technical manuals, overhaul procedures, illustrated parts catalogs, engineering drawings, torque specifications, inspection criteria, and maintenance work instructions.
  • Proficiency using precision measuring and inspection tools such as micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators, torque wrenches, feeler gauges, and related engine overhaul tooling.
  • Ability to inspect engine components for wear, scoring, cracks, corrosion, heat damage, dimensional limits, and other overhaul rejection criteria.
  • Ability to maintain accurate maintenance, overhaul, inspection, configuration, and quality records.
  • Experience in aviation maintenance and operations, including coordination across multiple departments.
  • Ability to travel as needed.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
  • Significant experience and proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proven record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding oneself and others to high standards, and showing kindness to others.
  • U.S.-issued passport.

    • Preferred qualifications:

  • FAA A&P license or equivalent internal or external certification demonstrating technical competency.
  • Direct experience overhauling, repairing, or maintaining Suter TOA 288 / 288-series engines or comparable small UAV piston engines.

  • Experience with Group 2 or Group 3 UAS maintenance, field support, launch/recovery operations, or deployed aviation maintenance environments.
  • Experience in the field of Unmanned Aerial Systems.
  • Experience with V-BAT, ducted-fan VTOL aircraft, small unmanned aircraft propulsion systems, or expeditionary UAS operations.
  • Experience maintaining heavy-fuel, JP-5, JP-8, gasoline, or mixed-fuel UAV engine systems.
  • Experience troubleshooting engine performance issues, including hard start, rough running, compression loss, fuel delivery issues, ignition faults, overheating, vibration, exhaust leaks, and abnormal wear.
  • Experience in avionics.
  • IPC certification.
