Do you excel at solving complex problems, providing support, and ensuring technology performs where it matters most? Are you eager to work hands-on with cutting-edge UAV platforms while fostering growth through training and mentorship? If this resonates with you, we have the perfect opportunity.
As a Field Service Technician V, you won't merely be repairing hardware — you'll play a pivotal role in supporting mission-critical unmanned aerial systems, building trust with clients, and empowering end users to excel in the field. From software updates to hands-on repairs, you will ensure our UAV platforms remain mission-ready and operational.
This role is high-impact and people-focused, blending technical skills with real-world application. Your ability to mentor, troubleshoot, and collaborate will be highlighted daily. Additionally, you will have the unique experience of living and working in the United Kingdom for a year, adding an international dimension to your career.

The MST team has a long legacy of supporting the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, commercial and international customers with years of experience in platform operations, engineering and full lifecycle management across domains – air, land, sea, space and cyber.
