About Castelion

Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We are designing, building, and testing next-generation long-range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts.

About the Role

As an Avionics Manufacturing Specialist (PCBA), you will report to the Lead Manufacturing Engineer of Avionics and support the development and production of systems required for long-range hypersonic strike vehicles. This full-time, exempt position is located at our Torrance, California facility.

In this role, you will work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to execute highly technical electrical builds. You will own critical aspects of tooling, process development, work instruction creation, and test infrastructure. The position demands a bias to action and creative problem-solving, requiring you to question assumptions and bring applicable processes from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. You will be trusted to personally resolve minor issues in development without requiring significant support, ensuring hardware blockers are prevented in a fast-paced, autonomously driven atmosphere.

Hiring Process

  • Application Review: Submit your resume highlighting relevant avionics and PCBA experience.
  • Technical Screening: A discussion focused on your hands-on experience with wire harnesses, PCBA rework, and test infrastructure.
  • Interview: A deeper dive into your problem-solving approach, communication style, and alignment with Castelion's mission.
  • Offer: Selection based on competence and qualifications.

We value clear communication and high initiative. As a team member, you will be expected to proactively communicate blockers and manage relationships with stakeholders, regulators, and suppliers tactfully to achieve company-desired outcomes.
