Engineering Technician

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace (KHA) is an aerospace company specializing in long-endurance unmanned aerial platforms for a wide variety of industries. KHA supports a number of customers to carry out missions involving aerial reconnaissance, survey, communication relay and communications provisioning. Endurance, enabled by effective design, is key to these applications and KHA aircraft utilize cutting-edge aircraft design together with on-board intelligence to deliver value for these customers.

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace is seeking a motivated and hands-on Engineering Technician to support the development, prototyping, assembly, testing, and production transition of our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical engineering work and is comfortable operating in an environment where designs, processes, and work instructions may still be evolving. Unlike a traditional production technician role focused primarily on established build procedures, the Engineering Technician will work closely with Engineering and Manufacturing to interpret technical information, solve hands-on build challenges, support new product introductions, and help translate developing designs into repeatable manufacturing processes.

The successful candidate will support both internal production and the transfer of manufacturing capability to external manufacturing partners. This will include periodic travel to suppliers and contract manufacturing locations to support production launches, troubleshooting, training, and process implementation.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Production Support

• Support the prototyping, fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing of UAS hardware and related equipment.
• Perform mechanical and electrical assembly, bonding, wiring, integration, and other hands-on technical tasks to a high standard.
• Work from engineering drawings, CAD-generated documentation, Bills of Materials (BOMs), work instructions, assembly procedures, and other technical data.
• Support development and first-build activities where designs or manufacturing processes may not yet be fully defined.
• Exercise technical judgment and problem-solving skills to identify and resolve build, assembly, integration, and manufacturability issues.
• Identify and communicate design, manufacturing, assembly, or documentation issues to Engineering and Manufacturing.
• Provide practical feedback to improve product designs, manufacturability, assembly processes, and production documentation.
• Support the transition of new and revised designs from Engineering into repeatable production processes.

Manufacturing Development & NPI Support

• Support new product introduction (NPI) activities and implementation of new aircraft features, assemblies, and manufacturing processes.
