Avionics & Electrical Integration Technician
Haast Autonomous · Hillsboro
Haast Autonomous is building an autonomous aircraft network for time-sensitive medical logistics. We’re developing long-range VTOL aircraft, autonomy software, and the operational foundation needed to move critical payloads between hospitals, labs, and healthcare facilities on-demand faster and more reliably.
We’re early, small, and moving quickly. Joining now means you'll have a direct role in shaping the foundation of Haast — our culture, engineering process, testing discipline, partner relationships, and the path from prototype to a real medical logistics network.
We’re looking for high-agency people who want ownership, urgency, and system-level impact from day one.
The Role
Haast is seeking a meticulous Avionics & Electrical Integration Technician to build and maintain the electrical systems used across our aircraft and ground-test platforms.
You will perform precision soldering, manufacture wiring harnesses, integrate avionics and propulsion components, and inspect every electrical assembly before it is installed on an aircraft. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in clean workmanship, careful documentation, and building reliable hardware.
Responsibilities
Perform precision soldering, wire splicing, connector termination, and electrical rework
Manufacture aircraft wiring harnesses from drawings, schematics, and pinout tables
Crimp, assemble, label, route, secure, and inspect aircraft wiring
Integrate flight controllers, ESCs, motors, batteries, sensors, radios, GPS units, cameras, actuators, and power-distribution hardware
Install appropriate strain relief, shielding, grounding, abrasion protection, and cable management
Conduct continuity, resistance, insulation, polarity, and power-on testing
Diagnose intermittent connections, communication faults, voltage drops, and other electrical issues
Inspect assemblies for solder quality, connector engagement, routing, and mechanical security
Support aircraft assembly, ground testing, flight testing, repairs, and rapid prototype iterations
Maintain wiring diagrams, harness records, inspection checklists, and aircraft build documentation
Organize and maintain electrical tools, components, connectors, and consumable inventory
Help establish repeatable workmanship and quality-control standards as the company scales
Required Qualifications
Demonstrated experience with precision soldering and electrical assembly
Experience building wiring harnesses and terminating electrical connectors
Proficiency with crimpers, soldering stations, heat guns, multimeters, power supplies, and common electrical hand tools
Ability to read wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, schematics, and assembly drawings
Strong attention to detail and commitment to clean, repeatable workmanship
Ability to identify and troubleshoot electrical faults methodically
Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving prototype environment
Ability to work safely around high-voltage and high-current battery systems
Preferred Qualifications
IPC J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or equivalent training
Experience in aerospace, aviation, drones, robotics, automotive, motorsports, or industrial electronics
Experience with Molex, JST, TE Connectivity, Deutsch, Amphenol, D-sub, XT-series, and circular connectors
Experience with CAN, UART, I²C, Ethernet, PWM, RS-232, or RS-485 systems
Experience with lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery systems
Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, CubePilot, or similar autopilot systems
Experience inspecting or reworking printed circuit boards
Familiarity with aerospace wire, shielding, grounding, and EMI-management practices
What Success Looks Like
Aircraft wiring is clean, documented, serviceable, and reliable
Harnesses consistently pass inspection and electrical testing
Electrical faults are identified before they affect flight testing
Prototype changes are implemented quickly without compromising workmanship
Build and inspection processes become increasingly repeatable as the fleet grows
We care more about agency, ownership, taste, and evidence that you can build than whether you match every bullet point. If you have worked on aircraft, drones, robots, vehicles, rockets, or other hard technical systems and want to help build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
