Assemble and integrate UAV platforms, wiring harnesses, electrical systems, and sensing payloads. Test, troubleshoot, inspect, maintain, and repair aircraft for flight readiness. Support field operations and flight testing, improve assembly processes, and ensure quality and workmanship standards. The role requires mechanical and electrical integration experience, technical drawing and schematic interpretation, complex system troubleshooting, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced production environment.
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to solve water scarcity and inclement weather problems. We develop and incorporate radar validation, weather-resistant UAS, numerical weather modeling, and sustainable cloud seeds into an effective precipitation enhancement solution.
The Production team at Rainmaker builds our UAS platforms, assembles dispersion payloads, and integrates in-situ/remote sensing systems into every vehicle we deliver. If you are interested in working in an extremely innovative and fast-paced environment, where your work directly makes an impact and ensures mission success in the field, this is a fantastic opportunity.
What You'll Do
- Bring our aircraft to life. Assemble UAVs from individual components into complete systems, then put your work to the test to ensure each aircraft is ready for the field
- Connect the systems that make flight possible. Build and install wiring harnesses and electrical assemblies, troubleshoot connections, and help aircraft components work together reliably.
- Take your craftsmanship into the field. Support flight testing and operations, diagnose issues, and perform the maintenance and repairs that keep our aircraft mission-ready.
- Make every detail count. Inspect incoming parts and completed assemblies, catch problems before they reach the field, and help ensure every aircraft meets our standards for quality and workmanship.
- Help shape how we build. Identify ways to make assembly more efficient and repeatable, improve production processes, and turn lessons from each build into better ways of working as we scale.
Required Qualifications
- 2-6 years of hand-on experience in UAV, aerospace, robotics, integration and full scale manufacturing
- Strong experience with mechanical assembly and electrical integration
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics
- Experience troubleshooting complex systems (mechanical and electrical)
- Willingness to travel and support field operations and flight testing
- Strong attention to detail and craftsmanship
- Able to work independently and take ownership of tasks
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments
- Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs regularly
- Familiarity with basic shop safety procedures
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in MIG and TIG welding
- Familiarity with the use of 3D printers
- Familiarity with the use of Torque drivers, Power supplies, Mulimeters, etc.
- Experience machining on 3 and 5 axis machines
- Part 107 certification

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
