About Pyka
Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.

To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. 

We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. 

What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day. 

Role Overview

Pyka is looking for a highly skilled Electro-Mechanical Assembly Technician to support the fabrication and integration of complex electrical and mechanical subsystems for its autonomous aircraft systems. This role involves hands-on harness assembly, subsystem builds, and electronic testing, all executed to the highest standards of quality and Senior Electro-Mechanical Assembly Technician plays a critical role in ensuring the successful build, validation, and production readiness of Pyka’s electromechanical subsystems. This role bridges hands-on assembly work, quality assurance, and close collaboration with engineering teams to transition hardware from prototype to scalable production.
