The Avionics Lead role is a working lead position where you will be responsible for hands-on troubleshooting, modification, and integration of complex avionics and ISR mission systems while directing a team of technicians in a Part 145 repair station aligning with Part 21 capabilities. This role focuses on advanced fault isolation, coordination of concurrent modification installs, and successful integration of sensors, communications, and mission equipment in accordance with the Repair Station Manual/ Quality Control Manual (RSM/ QCM), OEM data, and applicable FAA regulations. What You'll Do. Plan, assign, and oversee day-to-day avionics work scopes, ensuring correct routing, termination, and testing of wiring, LR - Us, antennas, and associated structures to support simultaneous STC and ISR modification packages. Contribute to work scope definition and execution planning by evaluating project requirements, determining personnel and tooling needs, and estimating labor hours for modification and maintenance tasks. Perform and provide direct technical guidance in diagnosing and repairing complex avionics discrepancies, including interoperability issues between newly integrated ISR projects and existing aircraft systems. Order parts and track part statuses to meet aircraft delivery timelines. Mentor technicians, enforce safe work practices and housekeeping, and ensure all maintenance, alterations, and tests are performed and recorded in full compliance with the repair station's procedures and relevant data. Interpret engineering drawings, ST - Cs, and installation packages, and provide feedback to engineering on discrepancies and design improvements. Lead functional checks, ground tests, and post-mod verification of avionics and ISR systems, ensuring proper configuration and performance to ensure delivery of a fully functional mission platform. Perform other duties, responsibilities, and projects assigned by management. What You'll bring Required. Minimum 5 years of aircraft maintenance experience. Minimum 2 years of supervisory experience within an FAA Part 145 and/or Part 21 environment. Hands on experience in aircraft modification, military integration programs, or special mission aircraft. Working knowledge avionics installation drawings and redline procedures. Demonstrated experience with standard enterprise IT utilities. Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS 9100, and process improvement systems. Preferred. Working knowledge of 14 CFR Part 21 and adjacent processes, including design, fabrication, prototyping, and conformity processes. Proficiency with digital maintenance/production systems (AMOS, Corridor, Veryon, etc.), including electronic task cards. Background in rapid prototyping or "one-off" integrations where requirements evolve during installation and test. Experience standing up new modifications or transitioning prototype installs into repeatable production packages. Additional Eligibility Qualifications None. Our Firmware At Metrea, our single core value, Rooted in Humility, and our four cornerstone attributes - Entrepreneurial, Systematic, Discerning, and Over-Deliver. These form what we call our Teammate Firmware. Just like technical firmware connects software and hardware, our Firmware is the constant interface between our mission and our people. It defines how we show up, how we work together, and how we solve complex problems. Our team Firmware creates a web-like, hyper-collaborative, dynamically hierarchical way of working that helps us adapt quickly, communicate openly, and distribute decision-making to where expertise actually lives. It enables groups to self-organize around hard problems, shift fluidly as priorities evolve, and operate with the trust, curiosity, and discipline required in a complex mission space. This foundation allows us to deliver elegant, effective solutions and uphold our purpose: protecting our precious inheritance.
