Mechanical Assembly Technician

As an Mechanical Assembly Technician, you will build mobile testing and maintenance machines for the military aviation industry in Weesp. You assemble and wire Ground Support Equipment used to test and maintain helicopters and (fighter) aircraft. You’ll work in a modern workshop where everything is done in-house: from design to testing. The environment is clean, high-tech, and equipped with professional tools. You work day shifts, and with 40 days off you’ll maintain a strong work-life balance.

Your responsibilities:

• 
  
• Assemble, wire and connect mobile machines based on technical drawings and electrical schematics (from start to finish).
  
• Deliver cable terminations, routing and finishing neatly and fault-free, in line with quality standards.
  
• Identify improvement opportunities in assembly, wiring or working methods and translate these into practical solutions together with Engineering.
  
• Support commissioning and testing in the test cells, depending on your experience and the direction you want to grow in.
  

At Sun Test Systems, you’ll join a team of skilled professionals who take pride in technology and quality. Sun Test Systems has been in business since 1931 and supplies aviation test equipment worldwide, including for the military sector. In Weesp, everything happens under one roof: engineering, building and testing. The culture is down-to-earth and collegial, with plenty of room to contribute ideas.

You’ll have a lot of opportunity to develop yourself. Technical training and courses are encouraged, and there are growth paths—towards a testing role, or even into engineering.

• 
  
• You can read electrical schematics and technical drawings and work independently from them.
  
• You have an MBO-level education in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  
• Experience is a plus, but your motivation and willingness to learn matter at least as much.
  

Projects you’ll see back in military aviation applications: you build machines where quality and reliability make the difference.
