Production Technician
About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Production Technician to build our next generation missiles. In this role, you will be responsible for enabling rapid iteration and ensuring high-quality production in a fast-paced, technically demanding environment.
This is not an ordinary technician role — it is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to engineering innovation by delivering rapid assembly, maintaining exceptional quality, and ensuring adherence to the safety standards. If you enjoy seeing ideas move from concept to reality and thrive in hands on technical work — we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble and modify prototypes according to engineering specifications and technical drawings while ensuring functional accuracy.
- Fabricate and install jigs, fixtures, and specialized equipment to support development and production processes.
- Perform setup, calibration, and maintenance of production equipment to optimize efficiency and repeatability.
- Operate machinery to consistently meet production targets.
- Assist engineering teams in troubleshooting and refining prototypes and systems during the development phase.
- Support field-testing operations, including setup, monitoring, and collection of performance data to validate functionality and reliability.
We Would Love You to Have
- Educational Background
A technical education in Mechanics, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field is preferred, but equivalent practical experience will also be considered. - Experience
Previous experience in a challenging, fast-paced production environment, preferably in a mass-production company. - Technical Skills
Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and fabrication techniques. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and assembly instructions. - Attributes
Proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail. Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to adapt quickly and manage shifting priorities. - Mission Alignment
Deep commitment to our mission of building affordable and mass-manufacturable technologies to enhance defence capabilities. - Security Clearance
Willingness to undergo a background check as a condition of employment.
Our Values
Our mission is ambitious and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.
- Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.
We choose impact — we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now — when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum — when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions. - Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.
We challenge the status quo — we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort — we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future — we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time. - Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.
We walk the talk — what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly — we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes — we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
Ready to Make a Real Impact?
