About Pyka

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of secure, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.

To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be helpful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems.

We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions in their respective industries.

What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

Role Overview





Pyka is looking for an Integration Technician with the skills and drive to operate in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

- Documentation & Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the creation and improvement of detailed technical documentation, including assembly instructions, routing standards, and test reports.

- Troubleshooting & Prototyping:



Participate in troubleshooting mechanical and electrical issues on new and existing systems, collaborating directly with designers and engineers to build prototypes and production aircraft.

- Tool & Workstation Maintenance: Maintain equipment, tools, and a clean, organized, and safe work environment in adherence to company standards.

- Inventory & Supply Collaboration: Order and maintain shop supplies, consumables, and tools; collaborate with the Inventory Department to manage parts availability for uninterrupted production workflow

Required Qualifications

- Hands-on experience in a technical build, assembly, fabrication, maintenance, or repair environment such as aviation, automotive, motorsports, marine, industrial manufacturing, HVAC, or similar.

- Strong mechanical aptitude and an interest in building, understanding, and troubleshooting physical systems.

- Proficiency with hand and power tools and the ability to perform precise assembly work safely.

- Ability to follow technical instructions, drawings, work instructions, and established processes while maintaining strong attention to detail.

- Comfortable working closely with engineers and technicians to troubleshoot problems and develop practical solutions.

- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach.

- Ability to stay organized and adapt as priorities and designs evolve in a collaborative prototyping environment

- Comfortable working in an active shop environment, including using PPE, handling materials and equipment, and performing work requiring manual dexterity.
