SYOS is a fast-growing global robotics and aerospace company, driving the development of cutting-edge uncrewed vehicles (drones) across air, land, and sea for dual-use applications. We are committed to pushing technological boundaries and delivering exceptional products that consistently exceed customer expectations.
The Opportunity
We are seeking Mechanical Technicians to provide hands-on support to our aircraft manufacturing and development activities. These roles sit at the core of first-build aircraft production — you'll be working directly on real aircraft, contributing to something that matters.
If you have a background in mechanical assembly from aerospace, motorsport, automotive, marine, or another precision industry, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Assemble major aircraft structures including wings, tails, and fuselage assemblies from first build
- Install and integrate internal structures, flight control systems, servos, and aircraft systems
- Perform mechanical integration of major assemblies to support efficient aircraft build and development
- Work from engineering drawings, build instructions, and assembly procedures
- Support prototype builds, testing, modification, and continuous improvement activities
- Maintain a safe, clean, and well-organised work environment in line with health and safety standards
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience in mechanical assembly — aerospace, automotive, motorsport, marine, or similar precision industries highly regarded
- Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to work accurately using hand tools and precision components
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
- High attention to detail and a quality-focused approach to your work
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary build team
If this sounds like something you are suitable for, apply now and we will be in touch!
