Role Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Forward Deployed Drone Technician who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software on the bench and in the field. This is a technician role focused on building, integrating, and provisioning our autonomous aerial systems, then deploying alongside our engineering team to keep them mission-ready during flight tests, demonstrations, and customer operations around the world.
You will assemble and provision our pods and pod components, load and update firmware and software, and troubleshoot hardware and software in dynamic, high-stakes environments. You are equally comfortable with a torque driver and a Linux command line, adaptable under pressure, and willing to travel internationally to Ukraine to put our systems directly into operators' hands.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble, integrate, and provision Swan's pods and pod components, mechanical build-up, electronics and cable/harness installation, and end-to-end system checkouts.
