Technician

About Icarus

Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace. 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. Our mission is to re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.

About the Role

We are looking for technicians of all experience levels who can turn raw parts, drawings, and ideas into flight-ready aircraft. This is not a normal technician job; it is for someone hands-on, practical, reliable, and hungry to learn. You will work side by side with engineers and a small team to build aircraft that actually fly, seeing your work go from the factory floor to flight test.

You will be part of a culture with high engineering signal and low management noise. We move fast, test in the field, and expect ownership, urgency, and quality. Whether it is sweeping the floor, building a fixture, wiring a harness, or prepping an aircraft for the Mojave, you will do whatever is needed to get the job done. This role offers real ownership, real hardware, and real flight in a small team with massive responsibility.

Hiring Process

Our process is simple: one interview with the CEO. We do not have long processes, endless interview loops, or corporate nonsense. The only hard requirement is Formula SAE experience. If you have built real hardware on a Formula SAE team and possess the grit, hunger, and humility to grow fast, we want to talk.

Culture & Values

We are builders, not tourists or bystanders. We value people who take pride in clean work, can move fast without being sloppy, and follow the plan while speaking up when something looks wrong. We foster a culture of no drama, no excuses, and no entitlement. We offer a dream desk setup, daily lunch, and a collaborative environment where you can learn across mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and test disciplines.

Equal Opportunity

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