About the role

Manufacturing / Production Engineer Join Black Swift Technologies and build the production systems behind aircraft that fly into hurricanes, volcanoes, and wildfires to capture data otherwise out of reach, turning hand built prototypes into a repeatable, defense ready manufacturing line. Black Swift Technologies IC In-office Engineering Boulder, CO About Black Swift Technologies Black Swift Technologies builds unmanned aircraft systems for the most demanding flight environments on Earth. Founded in 2011 in Boulder, Colorado, and born out of research flying into tornadic supercell thunderstorms, BST designs its aircraft, avionics, autonomy software, payloads, and ground control systems entirely in house. That level of vertical integration lets a small, senior team field capabilities most organizations only prototype. At the core of every aircraft is SwiftCore, our flight management system developed from the ground up rather than assembled around an off the shelf autopilot. Owning the entire stack is why our systems survive conditions that ground everyone else, and why our engineers can innovate at any layer of the aircraft. BST is now scaling from a research driven engineering firm into a production supplier of autonomous aircraft for environmental sensing and defense missions, expanding our platform family with the S3, building toward NDAA compliant sourcing and Blue UAS listing, and growing rapidly with the backing of our strategic partner KrateoSky.
What You Will Do: You'll own the manufacturing engineering behind BST's shift from hand built, engineering led aircraft to repeatable, controlled production. Build knowledge today lives with a small group of senior engineers and a set of working spreadsheets, and your job is to turn that into documented, versioned processes and build packages clean enough to replicate beyond our own shop floor, including at the higher rate production facility our partner KrateoSky is standing up.
Who You Are: You're organized and self directed, comfortable being the first dedicated manufacturing engineer on a small team where the role spans documentation, process, tooling, and quality all at once. You've worked hands on across the shop floor, not just from a desk, and you know how to drive a design for manufacturing change through to done without losing sight of schedule.
Benefits: $90,000 to $120,000k per year base salary, plus a comprehensive benefits package 100% paid healthcare benefits 401(k) Flexible / Unlimited PTO Free Eldora ski pass, plus flexible mornings on 6"+ powder days Ready To Make An Impact? Apply Now
