Aviation Maintenance Technician

ABOUT THE ROLE FedEx is a global leader in logistics and air freight, and our aviation maintenance team plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our commercial aircraft fleet. As an Aviation Maintenance Technician, you will be part of a distributed team that supports flight operations worldwide, providing expert analysis, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance for a variety of aircraft systems. This remote position allows you to leverage your technical expertise while collaborating with engineers, pilots, and ground crews across multiple time zones, ensuring that every aircraft remains on schedule and compliant with all regulatory standards. WHAT YOU'LL DO You will conduct detailed inspections, diagnostics, and repairs on avionics, hydraulics, powerplant, and environmental control systems, following FedEx’s rigorous maintenance procedures and FAA regulations. You will prepare and maintain accurate maintenance records, update technical documentation, and submit work orders through our integrated maintenance management system. You will collaborate with the global engineering team to analyze failure data, recommend design improvements, and develop corrective action plans. You will participate in virtual safety briefings, training sessions, and cross‑functional workshops to stay current with evolving technologies and regulatory changes. You will also mentor junior technicians remotely, sharing best practices and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. WHAT YOU'LL NEED You hold a valid FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certification and have at least five years of hands‑on experience working on commercial aircraft, preferably within a large logistics or freight environment. You possess strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex schematics, fault codes, and maintenance manuals.

You are adaptable, proactive, and committed to continuous learning in a fast‑paced, technology‑driven industry.
