Technician

Nexus Venture Partners
El Segundo, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/5/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/3/2026
Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace and what is possible from the sky. We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalable presence from this layer of the atmosphere.

We are looking for a Technicians of all sorts of experience (avionics, harness, integration, build, etc.) who can help turn raw parts, drawings, and ideas into flight-ready aircraft.

This role is for someone hands-on, practical, reliable, and hungry to learn. Someone who can build, fix, organize, assemble, test, clean, improve, and jump into whatever the mission needs.

Mission

Re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.

What you’ll do

  • Build, assemble, modify, repair, and test aircraft hardware
  • Support mechanical assembly, wiring, avionics installation, propulsion integration, and flight hardware preparation
  • Work from engineering drawings, CAD, build instructions, checklists, and verbal direction
  • Use hand tools, power tools, shop equipment, adhesives, fasteners, fixtures, and basic test equipment
  • Help fabricate and assemble lightweight structures, brackets, harnesses, panels, mounts, fixtures, and aircraft components
  • Support inventory, kitting, part organization, receiving, labeling, and factory cleanliness
  • Inspect your own work and catch problems before they become flight issues
  • Support ground testing, system checkouts, packing, transport, field operations, and flight test prep
  • Work closely with engineers and technicians to troubleshoot problems and improve builds
  • Do whatever needs to get done to help the aircraft fly

What we’re looking for

  • Hands-on experience building, assembling, repairing, maintaining, or fabricating real hardware
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort with tools
  • High attention to detail and pride in clean workmanship
  • Practical problem-solving ability
  • Willingness to learn across mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and test
  • Reliable, punctual, hardworking, and low ego
  • Comfortable working in a factory, shop, lab, or field environment
  • Able to follow instructions, ask good questions, and improve quickly
  • Able to move fast without being sloppy
  • No drama, no excuses, no entitlement

Why Icarus

  • Meaningful equity
  • Top market pay and bonuses
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Factory in El Segundo
  • Real ownership, real hardware, real flight
  • Small team, massive responsibility
  • High signal (engineering) to noise (management) culture
  • Dream desk setup
  • Daily lunch
  • Unlimited celsius

This is not a normal technician job

  • We want builders.
  • People who take pride in clean work.
  • People who can move fast without being sloppy.
  • People who can follow the plan, but also speak up when something looks wrong.
  • People who are willing to sweep the floor, build a fixture, wire a harness, organize parts, prep an aircraft, and go to the field when needed.
  • You will work side by side with engineers and a small team building aircraft that actually fly. You will see your work go from factory floor to flight test.
  • We move fast. We go to Mojave early. We test in the field. We expect ownership, urgency, and quality.

No tourists. No bystanders. Only builders.

Hiring process

  • On-site Interview with Mfg Team and CEO, practical test

US salary range

$30 to $55 per hour

The hourly range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base pay only. Actual pay may vary based on work experience, training, critical skills, and business considerations. Competitive equity grants may be considered part of Icarus’ total compensation package.

We’re an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.

We are in Los Angeles, and everyone comes to the factory every day. If you live elsewhere, we will help you relocate, but all employees are expected to be in the factory. We do not do hybrid or remote work. Is this OK with you?

Do you now, or will you in the future, require employer sponsorship to legally work for our company in the United States?
