• Develop novel tooling solutions for fabrication and assembly of structural parts
• Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub‑processes
• Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
• Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick‑turn development as well as at‑scale production
• Work with technicians and other engineers hands‑on, building prototype hardware
• Contribute to end‑customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.
• Travel to suppliers to do initial sourcing work, solve ongoing production issues, and implement quality procedures
