• Collaborate with design, development, and dyno teams to support continuous performance and reliability improvements.
• Identify and report potential assembly or quality issues, contributing to root cause analyses and countermeasures.
• Ensure cleanliness and organization of the build area in accordance with motorsport standards.

• Experience with high-precision measuring tools (micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, torque wrenches, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of component life management, wear analysis, and reliability tracking.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, build specifications, and assembly sheets.
• High commitment to quality, precision, and process consistency.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a small, focused team.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); other languages are a plus.
