Job Description
Drone Assembly & Field Technician – DMR Drones | Lafayette, LA Drone Manufacturing | Mechanical Assembly | Electrical | Field Service | Made in Louisiana
$13–$20/hr | Starting at 30 hrs | Full-Time (40 hrs) Within 30 Days | Benefits Eligible
Who We Are
DMR Technologies is a fast-growing American drone manufacturer based in Lafayette, LA — building advanced agricultural spray and commercial mapping drones (the X50 & D313) right here in the U.S. We're pioneering processes, scaling fast, and looking for hands-on problem solvers to grow with us.
The Role
You'll assemble, service, test, and repair professional drones in our air-conditioned shop — and eventually in the field. Think precision assembly (closer to iPhone repair than shipbuilding) — small screwdrivers, allen wrenches, carbon fiber tubing, motors, nozzles, and basic wiring. These positions start at 30 hours and move to full-time 40 hours within 30 days.
No drone experience required. Mechanical aptitude is everything.
What You'll Do
- Assemble drone components following work instructions, diagrams, and video guides
- Install mechanical systems: hoses, nozzles, CF tubing, motors, lightweight structures (~70%)
- Run basic wiring and electrical connections per print (~30%)
- Perform routine service, inspections (15-point), nozzle replacements, and consumables
- Troubleshoot and repair mechanical/electrical issues — shop & field
- Potentially fly, diagnose, and test drones as skills develop
You're a Strong Fit If You Have:
- Any hands-on mechanical or electrical background (HVAC, auto, electronics, military, construction — anything counts)
- Ability to follow technical instructions and work independently
- Curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and comfort figuring things out
- Reliable, detail-oriented, team-first attitude
Bonus Points:
- Drone or RC aircraft experience / FAA Part 107 license
- Bilingual (English/Spanish)
- Willingness to travel 15–30%
- Basic computer skills / comfort with digital tools
Why DMR?
- Ground-floor opportunity at a funded drone startup with serious growth trajectory
- Clear path: Shop Tech → Field Technician → advanced roles as we scale
- Work on real, cutting-edge American-made technology
- Health, Dental & Vision insurance
- Paid time off
- Air-conditioned shop (Louisiana summers — you're welcome)
Apply now — we're moving fast. Prior drone assembly experience is NOT required. If you can build it, fix it, and figure it out — we want to talk.
