Job Description
Composite Technician I – Build the Future of Unmanned Aircraft!
1 year Contract | Payrate: $40.00 an hour | Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM + Overtime | Englewood, CO
Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident to meet ITAR requirements.
Are you the person who loves to take things apart just to see how they work—and then figure out how to make them better? Do you enjoy working with your hands, solving mechanical problems, tinkering, rebuilding, and learning how things are engineered?
This is NOT a sit-behind-a-desk engineering job. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside engineers and experienced technicians building drones and specialty unmanned aircraft that are pushing the boundaries of advanced technology.
What You'll Do
As a Composite Technician I, you'll help build and assemble prototype components while developing your skills in advanced manufacturing and composite fabrication. You'll:
  • Read and work from engineering drawings, solid models, work instructions, and specifications
  • Assist with prepreg and wet layup fabrication
  • Support vacuum bagging, bonding, and oven/autoclave curing
  • Perform drilling, riveting, fastening, adhesive bonding, and mechanical assembly
  • Assist with composite tooling and molds using aluminum, composites, wood, and other materials
  • Use hand tools, power tools, and precision instruments
  • Assemble composite structures using RTV, epoxy, and fasteners
  • Assist with aerospace painting, priming, finishes, and coatings
  • Support testing, inspection, fabrication, and engineering projects
  • Keep the shop, tools, and work areas organized and safe
  • Learn and contribute across composites, electronics, welding, woodworking, additive manufacturing, and engineering testing
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required
  • Associate degree or vocational/technical training preferred
  • 1-2 year of composite or manufacturing experience preferred
  • Basic computer skills and ability to learn CAD software
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to follow detailed written, verbal, and diagram instructions
  • Ability to lift/move up to 50 lbs. occasionally
  • ITAR-regulated facility
Ready to Build Something Amazing?
If you're a hands-on problem solver who loves mechanics, electronics, engineering, and figuring out how things work, this could be your opportunity to turn that curiosity into a career while working on some seriously cool unmanned aircraft technology.
