Job Description - Mechanical AIT Technician



Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability

 

At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.

 

As our AIT Technician you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

 

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.


What you'll do




What you’ll do 






  • Support the assembly and integration of mechanical structures and subsystems for hypersonic vehicles. 








  • Assemble components and subassemblies using engineering drawings, work instructions, and torque specifications. 








  • Install mechanical hardware, structures, and mechanisms as part of vehicle build. 








  • Use hand tools, jigs, fixtures, and precision equipment to achieve highquality builds. 








  • Perform inspections and checks to ensure correct fit, alignment, and installation. 








  • Maintain organised workspaces, tooling, and parts throughout the build process. 








  • Support mechanical testing and integration activities as . 








  • Work closely with engineers to resolve build and fitment issues. 






 




Who you are



 




  • Experienced Mechanical Technician with a background in precision assembly. 








  • Able to read and work from engineering drawings and technical instructions. 








  • Handson experience with mechanical assembly, torqueing, and use of workshop tools. 








  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to build quality. 








  • Comfortable working on complex hardware in fastpaced environments. 










  • Practical, reliable, and proactive with a strong team mindset. 






What we offer


  • A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.

  • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.

  • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.

  • A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.

  • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.

  • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.



At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven. If this role feels like a strong fit, or if you believe you bring something exceptional that goes beyond the description, we encourage you to apply.

 

Hypersonica is an equal-opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.

 

You can apply directly to this role or reach out to Nathan Sweeney, Head of Talent. We review every application and aim to respond to all candidates within two weeks, whether the answer is yes or no.


We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
