  • Assist with assembly of actuators, structure, and fluid systems
  • Perform harness builds, rework, and routing for development and production systems
  • Troubleshoot electro-mechanical assemblies and support root-cause investigations
  • Assist with hardware-in-the-loop test systems setup and maintenance
  • Support engineers during prototype bring-up including mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, and basic plumbing
  • Maintain a clean, organized lab space and manage tools and spare inventory
  • Occasionally support field deployments and hardware upgrades at customer sites
  • Collaborate with Production Coordinator to meet build timelines and production goals

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of hands-on technician or manufacturing experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and familiarity with hand tools, power tools, and light fabrication
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and harness diagrams
  • Experience with electro-mechanical assemblies including PCBAs, motors, actuators, and sensors
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced R&D environment with evolving requirements
  • Attention to detail and a proactive, self-starting mindset
