Draken is looking for a ground support technician to support our Phantom Sky initiative in the United States. We are looking for someone who can work effectively and efficiently with little supervision, someone with a creative mind who can take the initiative to improve the training we offer our customers. Our revolutionary new platform for supporting live-fly training with ground-based threat emitters is critical to units with a SEAD mission.
At Draken, we have created a cost-effective system that integrates off-the-shelf commercial solutions to address the shortage of ground-based threat emitters. Our proprietary software enables remote control of emitters through a user interface that combines an air and ground picture that can be used for mission execution and debrief.
We offer: First day medical coverage; 401(k) match after 60 days, PTO available to use immediately
