# Aerospace Assembly Technician

> Laborup · Garden Grove, United States · — · Posted 2026-07-10

**Salary:** USD 50,000–60,000

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

**Overview**

We're hiring Aerospace Assembly Technicians for our aerospace and defense manufacturing facility in Garden Grove, CA.

This is blueprint-driven structural assembl, building complex, multi-part assemblies that feed into larger aerospace and defense sub-systems. You'll work straight from engineering drawings to locate, drill, countersink, fasten, and align components to tight aerospace specifications.

The work is hands-on and precise: pneumatic drills, C-squeezes, rivet pullers, jigs and fixtures, and precision measuring instruments, with quality documentation behind everything you build.

**Why Join Us**

-   **Real aerospace craftsmanship:** Blueprint-driven structural assembly, not repetitive line work
-   **High-impact work:** Assemblies that go into high-stakes aerospace and defense sub-systems
-   **Financial impact:** Guaranteed 45-hour weeks + additional optional overtime

**Compensation**

-   $26–$30/hr
-   Guaranteed 45-hour week + additional optional overtime
-   Up to $75k/yr (including overtime)

**Hiring on 1st Shift**

-   **1st shift:** Monday – Friday, 5:00 AM – 3:00 PM

**Responsibilities**

-   **Blueprints:** Determine detail and hardware locations from engineering drawings, mylars, and the shop router
-   **Layout:** Locate and mark reference points and holes using jigs, templates, and measuring instruments
-   **Drilling & Fastening:** Drill and countersink to fastener requirements; bolt, screw, and rivet components and subassemblies
-   **Fit-Up & Alignment:** Trim, shim, and cut to fit components; position and align subassemblies in jigs and fixtures to blueprint lines and index points
-   **Installation:** Install units, brackets, hinges, and clips into structural assemblies per blueprint and customer specifications
-   **Inspection:** Inspect and test installed units for fit, performance, and compliance using precision measuring instruments
-   **Documentation:** Complete quality documentation and verify part and hardware counts to the shop router

This isn't entry-level line assembly. We're looking for someone who has built aircraft structure before and can work directly from a blueprint without hand-holding.

## Requirements

**Requirements**

-   2+ years of aerospace or aircraft assembly experience
-   Reads and interprets engineering blueprints, drawings, and specifications
-   Hands-on with hand tools, pneumatic tools, and riveting equipment
-   Precision measurement with calipers, micrometers, and similar instruments
-   Excellent attention to detail and hand-eye coordination
-   U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident) — ITAR-regulated facility

**Preferred:**

-   Structural aircraft assembly experience (drilling, countersinking, riveting airframe components)
-   Working knowledge of aerospace customer specifications and requirements
-   Experience setting up or operating automated assembly equipment
