About this role
At Livelink Aerospace, we are at the forefront of aerospace innovation. We pride ourselves on delivering high-reliability, cutting-edge technology. As we continue to scale our operations, we are seeking a detail-oriented and versatile Assembly Technician to join our production team. In this role, you will work across both conventional PCB assembly and prototype development, playing a hands-on role in bringing our advanced aerospace systems to life. As a Production Assembler / Assistant, you will be primarily based at our Havant facility, with occasional travel to our Lavant site to support prototype production and collaborative projects. You will handle everything from high-precision soldering to complex electromechanical and cable assemblies. This is a brilliant opportunity for a skilled technician who enjoys variety, hands-on problem-solving, and working on next-generation aerospace technology. Assembly & Production Conventional PCB Assembly: Populate and assemble printed circuit boards (PCBs) using both through-hole and surface-mount technologies. SMT & Through-Hole Soldering: Perform high-standard hand soldering for Through-Hole population and SMT components. Cable & Loom Assembly: Fabricate, route, and tie complex wiring harnesses, looms, and cable assemblies to exact aerospace specifications. Electromechanical Assembly: Build, integrate, and package mechanical components with electronic systems. Prototype Production: Work closely with engineering teams to assemble first-run prototype builds, providing valuable feedback on design-for-manufacture (DFM). Quality Control & Maintenance Inspection: Conduct thorough visual and IPC-standard inspections of your own work and incoming assemblies to ensure zero-defect production. Rework & Modifications: Perform precision rework, trace repairs, and engineering modifications on populated PCBs and assemblies. Documentation: Follow detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, and build instructions, ensuring all assembly logs and quality documentation are accurately maintained.
