Electrical TechnicianGreat Neck, NY | Onsite | U.S. Citizen

Wild West Systems is a defense technology startup redefining autonomous edge defense through modular, AI‑powered weapon systems - designed, built, and launched in the USA.

We're looking for a hands‑on Electrical Technician to help build the electrical backbone of our drone and munitions platforms. This is an execution role - you'll solder, crimp, wire, and test hardware that actually ships. Precision matters. Speed matters more.

Assemble, solder, and inspect PCBs, including SMT components.
Build and verify wiring harnesses and connector assemblies.
Crimp terminals, insert pins, and route wires to engineering specs.
Perform continuity testing and document inspection results.
Support engineers in rapid prototyping and iteration cycles.
Maintain clean, organized workstations and follow build procedures.
Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and assist in root‑cause analysis.

What You Bring

Proven hands‑on experience as an electrical or electromechanical technician.
Strong soldering skills, including surface‑mount (SMD/SMT) work.
Proficiency in custom harness assembly, crimping, and inspection testing.
Ability to read and work from schematics and wiring diagrams.
IPC certification (IPC‑A‑610, IPC/WHMA‑A‑620, or equivalent).
Consistent execution and pride in high‑quality builds.

Bonus Points

Background in defense, drone, UAV, or aerospace manufacturing.
Prototype or low‑volume production experience.
Familiarity with low‑voltage harness work.
Additional IPC or J‑STD certifications.

401(k) plan with company participation.

Love for America and commitment to Wild West Systems' mission.
Self‑starter with a bias for action and extreme ownership.
Servant‑leader mindset; adaptable to fast, shifting priorities.
ITAR Requirement: U.S. citizenship or ITAR‑compliant status.
