SYOS is a fast-growing global robotics and aerospace company, driving the development of cutting-edge uncrewed vehicles (drones) across air, land, and sea for dual-use applications. We are committed to pushing technological boundaries and delivering exceptional products that consistently exceed customer expectations.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a skilled Composites Technician to join our manufacturing team and play a central role in building first-build aircraft structures. With a strong focus on carbon fibre composite lamination, this is a technically demanding, hands-on role where the quality of your craft directly shapes the performance of our aircraft.
If you take pride in precision lamination work and are looking for something a little different — this role is for you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Perform hands-on carbon fibre layup and lamination of aircraft structures including wings, tails, fuselage components, and control surfaces
- Manufacture composite parts from first build using prepreg and/or wet layup techniques
- Trim, finish, and inspect composite components to engineering drawings and quality standards
- Work closely with the production team to support build schedules and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in carbon fibre or advanced composite lamination
- Sound understanding of composite materials, fibre orientations, resins, and curing processes
- Experience working from engineering drawings and manufacturing instructions
- High attention to detail with a quality-first mindset
- Self-motivated and able to work effectively as part of a small, hands-on production team
