About STRIX\n

STRIX Drones USA is building next-generation unmanned aerial system technology, including commercial and defense platforms and capabilities. We're a fast-moving hardware team standing up domestic production in Colorado, and we're looking for hands-on technicians who want to build real systems.

We're hiring a Senior Technician to support the mechanical assembly and build-out of our drone docking stations — the ground infrastructure that houses, charges, and launches our aerial systems. You'll work from engineering drawings and build documentation to fabricate, assemble, and integrate mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-systems, and you'll be one of the first people to touch every unit that goes out the door.

This is a core production hire: you'll work semi-independently, take ownership of sub-assembly and final integration, and help us build the repeatable processes that scale as we grow the team.

\n
• Read and work independently from mechanical drawings, BOMs, and build documentation
\n
• Perform precision mechanical assembly using hand and power tools (fastening, torque-spec work, bonding/sealing compounds, basic wiring/harnessing)
\n
• Build sub-assemblies and perform final integration of docking station units
\n
• Perform basic electro-mechanical troubleshooting and rework
\n
• Maintain build quality and flag design-for-manufacturability (DFM) issues to engineering
\n
• Support fit checks, functional testing, and quality inspection of completed units
\n
• Occasionally support on-site installation of docking stations at customer/test locations (some travel)
\n
• Help document and refine build procedures as processes mature
\n

\n
• 2–5 years of experience in mechanical or electro-mechanical assembly (aerospace, robotics, industrial equipment, or similar precision manufacturing preferred)
\n
• Comfortable reading mechanical drawings and following torque/tolerance specifications
\n
• Proficient with hand and power tools; comfortable with fasteners, adhesives/sealants, and basic wiring
\n
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset — this hardware needs to work in the field
\n
• Able to work independently and troubleshoot issues without constant oversight
\n
• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) due to export control (ITAR) requirements on this product line
\n
• Willingness to travel occasionally for field installs
\n

Nice to have:

\n
• Experience with drone, robotics, or other aerospace-adjacent hardware
\n
• Prior experience in a startup or low-volume/high-mix production environment
\n
• Basic familiarity with electrical systems or wiring harnesses
\n

\n
• Ground-floor opportunity at a growing defense-tech company with a real, fielded product
\n
• Direct line of sight from your work to units that ship and get used
\n
• Equity participation in the company's growth
\n
• Colorado-based production facility, on-site collaborative team
