Engineering Technician, R&D

ABOUT THE TEAM

You will join a dynamic R&D Engineering team focused on designing prototyping and deploying cutting-edge electro-mechanical systems in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) domain. The team thrives on rapid iteration cross-functional collaboration and delivering high-quality hardware in challenging environments. As part of this group you will work closely with design engineers firmware/software teams and test specialists to bring new capabilities from concept to fieldready deployment.

As anEngineering Technician you will be a hands-on enabler of both prototype and production hardware related to electronic warfare systems. You will support multiple projects by handling assembly rework test setup maintenance and field readiness activities. This role is essential to keep engineering momentum high ensuring hardware is built to specification tested thoroughly and maintained to perform reliably under operational conditions.
