The associate and lead technicians will help assemble the drones while the engineer will help in the development and testing of the drones, reports Recode.

According to people close to the matter, the social media company is working hard to expand its Facebook drone team. The company already had three openings for its London office before posting these new openings. Those hired in the newly-listed openings will work closely with the London office, Recode notes.

In September it was revealed that the Facebook drones will be as big as 747s. The drones are expected to be able to fly for years at a time thanks to solar technology. There won’t be any human pilots in the drones and they are expected to fly 17 miles above the Earth.
