Clear Star Aviation is a fast-moving FAA Part 145 repair station at Addison Airport (KADS). We work on everything from piston to turboprop to light/mid jets, and we’re looking for an Avionics Technician who’s solid, dependable, and takes pride in clean installs and clean paperwork.

• Document work performed clearly and accurately (logbook entries, work orders)

• Coordinate with maintenance/inspection teams to keep projects moving and customers happy

• Maintain a safe, organized work area and follow shop procedures and quality standards

What we’re looking for (3–5 years)
