Job description
🚀 Join SE3 Labs as Founding Drone & Avionics Technician
Help us get our autonomous systems airborne. You’ll own electrical integration from prototype to flight. Early team, deep tech, high impact.
About SE3
SE3 Labs is building Spatial AI by combining 3D computer vision with large language models (LLMs). We believe the ability to reason about and act within physical space is foundational to unlocking the next generation of automation, from construction to smart infrastructure, and ultimately, defense.
Now, we’re building the physical platform to bring Spatial AI to life. That means high-performance, real-world robotic systems (starting with UAVs) and we’re looking for a hands-on operator who’s ready to bring these machines into the real world.
About the Role
As our Founding Drone & Avionics Technician, you’ll play a key role in getting our fleet of autonomous drones ready for flight. Working closely with our engineering team, you’ll establish our professional-grade avionics shop, build harnesses and integration workflows, and ensure every system is measured, tested, and flight-proven. You won’t just follow instructions, you’ll improve the way we work on your initiative and directly with our engineering team.
What You’ll Work On
Wire & Build: Assemble and test prototype avionics units, including harnesses and electrical subsystems for UAVs
Integrate & Checkout: Install, measure, and verify electronics inside flight vehicles, ensuring robust, repeatable, and high-quality integration
Own the Shop: Set up, organize, and maintain our avionics workspace by selecting quality tools and building out a scalable integration process
Improve & Suggest: Spot design flaws, propose improvements, and help us move faster and build better
Test & Feedback: Support qualification and development testing, from vibration to thermal tests, and loop feedback back to engineering
Your Profile
You’ve completed a technical apprenticeship or training in a relevant field, e.g., Fluggeräteelektroniker, Elektroniker, or you’re EASA-certified
You bring 3+ years of hands-on experience assembling wiring harnesses and electronics, ideally in aerospace or high-reliability systems
You’re proficient in soldering wires, connectors, and PCBs, and you know your way around aerospace crimping and wire tools
You’re comfortable using electronic diagnostic tools and have a solid grasp of troubleshooting workflows
You care about precision, build quality, and structure. You know that great systems start with clean, reliable integration
You bring a proactive, organized approach and a deep sense of ownership. You don't just build, you improve
Conversational English is a must; German is a strong plus
Especially Valued Bonus Skills
Experience with sensors, signal chains, and testing setups
Operating or tuning drones (and the scars to prove it)
Familiarity with CAD, PLM, or MES systems
Experience running environmental tests like vibration or thermal
Perks & Benefits
Get Certified: We'll train you to become a certified drone pilot
31 Paid Days Off: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off
Well-being Access: Free membership to gyms, yoga, and wellness through EGYM Wellpass
Team Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece
Mentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth
Our Process
Intro Call (20 min): Let’s get to know each other (conducted by Michael, our Chief of Staff)
Technical Interview (45 min): (with Lukas, our Hardware Lead)
Onsite Trial/Case (1.5 hrs): We’ll build or test something together, just like on the job (together with our Hardware Team)
Team Dinner/Lunch: See if it’s a culture fit on both sides
Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for SE3 Labs. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
