Jobs at Zone 5 Technologies

The Senior System Safety Engineer leads safety activities, conducts hazard analysis, engages with customers, and ensures compliance with safety standards in unmanned aircraft systems.

Lead system safety activities for unmanned aircraft systems, including risk management, safety architecture, documentation, test planning, and customer engagement.

Lead system safety activities across product lifecycle, conduct hazard analysis, ensure safety compliance, and engage with customers for safety reviews.

The Chief Engineer will lead the development and integration of next-generation unmanned aircraft systems, focusing on technical strategy and multi-disciplinary decision-making.

Support manufacturing and design quality through root cause analysis, corrective actions, PPAP documentation, FAIs, inspection planning, supplier quality coordination, audits, and quality metrics reporting across programs.

Lead subcontract administration across the contract lifecycle for DoD/aerospace programs: draft and negotiate subcontracts, ensure FAR/DFARS compliance, manage supplier selection and performance, perform cost/price analysis, support program teams, mitigate contractual risk, maintain audit-ready records, and mentor junior staff.

Create and maintain consolidated production build schedules, integrate contractual deliverables, generate work orders, and monitor real-time plan health. Forecast materials, build reports and dashboards to prevent shortages, perform root-cause analysis for inventory inaccuracies, and coordinate across Supply Chain, Production, Program Leadership, and Engineering to meet production targets and optimize throughput.

Coordinate and centralize special project schedules, integrate projects into production, track KPIs and real-time project health, anticipate risks and resource constraints, build reports and tools, and align engineering, supply chain, and program leadership to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.

Support manufacturing by preparing and finishing parts, operating 3D printers (non-programming), kitting and staging materials, performing basic post-processing and inspections, maintaining shop organization and compliance with safety and quality requirements (AS9100, ESD, FOD, ITAR). Work closely with production technicians and engineers to sustain production flow.

Support design, development, integration, and testing of electrical systems for UAS platforms. Build and document wire harnesses, maintain schematics, debug circuits, assist in system integration, and collaborate with mechanical, software, and production teams to resolve issues and verify functionality.
