## About the role

Samara Aerospace is looking for a Senior Lab Technician to join our team as we build our first Hummingbird satellite technology demonstrator. As a growing startup, there are opportunities to lead the organization and layout of the development lab, support PCB rework, harness builds, CNC fabrication, hardware assembly, and environmental testing.

- Demonstrated proficiency in the use of hand tools and power tools
- Experience following and executing formal assembly or test procedures
- Strong organizational skills. You take initiative to keep your workspace and team organized without being asked
- Comfortable taking ownership of a space and a process, not just a task list
