• Support engineering investigations by modifying existing hardware and implementing design updates.

Testing and Troubleshooting (35%):

• Build, configure, and operate electrical test setups and fixtures.
• Perform functional, verification, validation, and debug testing of electronic circuits and systems.
• Troubleshoot PCBAs and electronic assemblies to the component level.
• Use oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, and other laboratory equipment to diagnose issues.
• Collect and document test results and provide feedback to engineering teams.

Documentation and Laboratory Support (15%):

• Maintain accurate records of builds, repairs, test activities, and results.
• Support development of work instructions, assembly procedures, and test protocols.
• Maintain laboratory equipment and ensure a safe, organized work environment.
