Description
I build drones that fly exactly as the pilot expects, whether it is a 5-inch freestyle quad, a long-range reconnaissance platform, or a commercial Mavic/Autel repair. My expertise covers the entire assembly lifecycle, from raw carbon fiber frames to fully calibrated, flight-ready aircraft.
- Mechanical assembly of carbon fiber chassis, including motor mounting, ESC installation, and flight controller integration.
- Precision soldering of high-current power loops (XT30/XT60, 4S-6S LiPo setups) and signal wiring, ensuring zero cold joints and optimal strain relief.
- Firmware flashing and PID tuning using Betaflight, iNav, and ArduPilot, customizing flight modes and radio receiver binding.
- Video system integration, ranging from analog VTx channel optimization to digital systems like DJI O3 and Caddx Vista, minimizing latency and ensuring crisp OSD overlays.
- Bench testing motor thrust, propeller balancing, and final failsafe/range verification up to 500 meters.
I started in a private repair shop, resurrecting crashed racers and replacing burnt-out ESCs. Later, I spent two years on a production floor assembling commercial photography drones, churning out 5-8 units a week while maintaining a strict defect log. In parallel, I have personally built over 80 custom FPV quads for various applications, from tight indoor cinewhoops to 10-inch long-range GPS planes.
My workbench is equipped with a thrust stand, LiPo internal resistance testers, and a basic oscilloscope for signal debugging. I hold a vocational diploma in Electronic Equipment Assembly. I am looking for a steady, full-time role in a climate-controlled assembly lab in Austin, TX, targeting $55,000 USD.
