Drone Assembly & Test Technician

About the job

Build, test, and repair the industrial drones we design ourselves. Every Nolvis M1 that ships to a customer passes through your hands — and as a founding member of our Dallas team, you'll help set the standard for how it's done.

Why this role

• Work on a real industrial drone — flight controllers, GNSS/RTK, radio links, batteries, and payloads
• Start with assembly and testing, and grow into troubleshooting and repair as you gain experience
• Help improve our checklists and work instructions based on what you see on the floor
• Join as a founding member of our U.S. team and grow as we scale

What you'll do

• Perform final assembly of the M1 at our Dallas facility
• Run pre-shipment inspections: visual checks, continuity testing, flight tests, and post-flight data review
• Replace faulty modules following our repair procedures
• Log defects and report them clearly to our engineering team, with photos and logs
• Manage spare parts inventory
• Suggest improvements to our checklists and work instructions

What you need

• Hands-on soldering of wires and connectors — you’ll show us in a short bench test
• Basic use of a multimeter (voltage, resistance, continuity) and a bench power supply
• Experience assembling products with hand tools, following written work instructions
• Comfort working with your hands every day
• Fluent English, including clear written reports
• Able to work independently, without a technical supervisor on site
• Willing to obtain FAA Part 107 certification after joining

Nice to Have

[Electronics and rework]

• SMD soldering and rework, crimping, wire harnessing, and connector work
• Reading schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, and BOMs
• Using an oscilloscope
• ESD-safe work practices
• Deep knowledge of electronics and circuits, including power electronics and analog/digital circuits

[Diagnostics and mechanical]

• Systematic fault isolation — from a system-level symptom down to the failed module or component
• Mechanical assembly: torque specs, fasteners, threadlocker, and cable routing

[Drone systems]

• Drone subsystems: brushless motors and ESCs, flight controllers, GNSS/RTK, IMU and compass calibration, radio links and antennas
• Lithium battery handling, charging, and battery management systems (BMS)
• Flashing firmware, configuring parameters, and reading flight logs
• Drone or RC aircraft experience
• FAA Part 107 certification

[Background]

• Aviation maintenance, military maintenance, or electronics manufacturing

About Nolvis

Nolvis designs and builds its own industrial drones for surveying, mapping, and inspection.
