Avionics Technician II

The future of aerospace and defense starts here. Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team. A team that will mold tomorrow’s technologies while deploying today’s best. We are an intrinsically motivated team that has a passion for solving problems and empowering each other every day to develop our skills, knowing that there is always room for growth.

Our propulsion systems rely on tightly integrated avionics—including sensors, actuators, controllers, and instrumentation—to ensure precise operation and mission success. As an Avionics Technician , you will collaborate with engineering and operations teams to build, assemble, and test avionics hardware for flight and test applications. Your work will directly support the reliability, safety, and readiness of engine electrical systems that are critical to defense and aerospace missions.

Attention to detail, adherence to standards, and a commitment to quality are essential in this role.
