Drone Mechanic (Full-Time) 

Monarch Drone Solutions | Republic, Missouri

Salary: $40,000–$50,000 (based on experience) + performance bonuses

Schedule: Full-Time Location: Republic, MO (with some regional travel)

Position Overview: 

Monarch Drone Solutions–a Drone sales, service and commercial application company– is seeking a full-time Drone Technician to become the technical backbone of our operation, ensuring customers and internal fleet stay in the air when it matters most.

This role is hands-on and execution-focused: diagnosing problems, completing high-quality repairs, and turning equipment around quickly and reliably.

While the immediate need is someone who can own repairs and do them right, this position is designed to grow into a Service Manager role for the right individual.

You’ll work out of our fully equipped shop in Republic, MO, with access to a field service truck, specialized tools, and manufacturer training—supporting operators across Southwest Missouri, South Central Missouri, and Northwest Arkansas.

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Diagnose, maintain, and repair agricultural and commercial UAV systems

  • Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and software-related issues

  • Perform pre and post-mission inspections and quality checks

  • Execute firmware updates, calibrations, and system integrations

  • Maintain accurate records of repairs, parts usage, and service history

  • Manage and track parts inventory in coordination with the team

  • Provide technical support to internal pilots and external customers

  • Travel regionally for on-site diagnostics and field repairs when needed

  • Uphold a high standard of workmanship, safety, and accountability

What We're Looking For: 

  • Experience repairing drones (DJI, EAVision, Autel) or similar technical equipment (small engines, electronics, ag equipment, etc.)

  • Strong troubleshooting ability across mechanical, electrical, and software systems

  • Familiarity with flight controllers, ESCs, batteries, and payload systems

  • Highly organized with attention to detail in both repairs and documentation

  • Self-motivated and able to work independently without constant oversight

  • Ability to lift and carry 50-75+ lbs

  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regionally

  • FAA Part 107 is a plus, but not required

Performance & Growth Opportunities

  • Performance-based bonuses tied to:

    • Repair turnaround time

    • Quality of work (low rework rate)

    • Customer satisfaction

  • Opportunity to help grow and shape Monarch’s service and repair division

  • Clear path to Service Manager for individuals who demonstrate ownership, leadership, and consistency

Tools & Support Provided

  • Fully equipped repair shop

  • Field service truck

  • Specialized diagnostic tools and equipment

  • Access to manufacturer training and certifications
