The posting

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

Our aircraft are built fast, and every prototype starts on the shop floor. We need an A&P mechanic who wants to build aircraft, not just service them, working side by side with our structures, propulsion, electrical, and autonomy engineers to turn designs into real hardware while the design is still taking shape.

What You'll Do

- Build, assemble, and integrate prototype unmanned aircraft from drawings and work instructions that are still evolving

- Fabricate and install systems including fuel and oil plumbing, landing gear, flight controls, avionics, and electrical

- Fabricate and repair composites (wet layup, prepreg, honeycomb, bonded structure)

- Work side by side with engineering to troubleshoot issues, root-cause problems, and feed shop-floor knowledge back into the design

- Support ground and flight test, including pre- and post-flight inspections and vehicle mods

- Keep build records and configuration docs, and help write procedures as we move toward production

- Train and mentor junior technicians, and help set up the facility

- Travel to flight test and field sites as needed

What We're Looking For

- FAA A&P certificate

- 7+ years of hands-on experience across multiple aircraft types, systems, and structures

- Experience building or modifying aircraft, not just maintaining them

- Composite fabrication and repair experience

- Experience fabricating tubing, hoses, and metallic structures

- Comfortable with changing drawings and willing to speak up when something looks off

- Able to lift 50 lbs, work indoors and outdoors, and travel to support flight campaigns

- Candidates for this position must have the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance (U.S. citizenship required)

Nice to Have

- Prototype, experimental, or R&D aircraft experience

- Ground and flight test support

- Build documentation and configuration management on developmental programs

- Active security clearance

ITAR requirement

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Swarm Aero is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse backgrounds and experiences and make employment decisions without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or disability.

What We Offer

- Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company

- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

- Medical, dental, vision, and 401k

- PTO and paid sick leave

- Monthly wellness stipend

- Daily catered lunch (office)

- Paid parental leave

- Direct impact on a critical national security mission

- A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
