Walt’s Avionics is Hiring – A&P Technicians 📍 Carlsbad, CA – McClellan-Palomar Airport (KCRQ) 🕐 Full-Time | On-Site 💰 Pay based on experience and skill level Walt’s Avionics is looking for a hands-on A&P Technician who enjoys building, troubleshooting, fabricating, and solving problems. This is not your typical maintenance position.

• Avionics installation and troubleshooting
• Sheet-metal fabrication and modification
• Instrument panel fabrication
• Garmin avionics
• Cessna and other general aviation aircraft
• Aircraft restoration and modification
You don't necessarily need to be an expert in every one of these areas. If you have strong experience in any of them, we want to hear from you.
What We Do Our work goes well beyond routine maintenance. We take on custom projects that require you to use your hands and your brain . Projects can include: • Complete Garmin avionics installations
• GFC 500 and other autopilot installations
• New instrument panel fabrication
• Aircraft wiring and custom harness fabrication
• Electrical system troubleshooting and modification
• Sheet-metal fabrication
• ADS-B, GPS, NAV/COM, EFIS, engine monitoring, and audio systems
• Removal and replacement of legacy aircraft wiring and avionics
• Custom aircraft modifications
• Complete aircraft restoration and modernization projects
One week you may be fabricating and wiring a new instrument panel; the next you may be installing an autopilot, troubleshooting an electrical problem, or helping restore and modernize an aircraft.
