• Proven experience across mechanical and electrical system manufacturing, including mobile or large-scale machinery.
• Hands‑on experience with welding, fabrication, and electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Deep understanding of process documentation, quality standards, and configuration management practices.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or other parametric CAD tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to facilitate collaboration across teams.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs unassisted and support hands‑on troubleshooting in a factory environment.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Advanced data analytics skills with the ability to use metrics and statistical tools for process optimization and problem-solving.
• Experience managing third-party certifications (NRTL, CE) and navigating product compliance pathways.
• Demonstrated ownership of process definition and implementation in a fast‑paced, iterative R&D-to-production environment.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to synthesize mechanical, electrical, and software elements into streamlined manufacturing processes.
