• Support engineering change-orders and quick-turn re-work on evolving prototypes; fabricate or machine simple brackets and test fixtures as needed.
• Maintain accurate build logs, red-line drawings, and update BOMs; raise issues in daily stand-ups and directly with leads and engineers as issues arise.
• Enforce LOTO, PPE, and hazardous-gas protocols; ensure work cells are clean, organized, and inspection-ready.
• Travel up to 10% for system FAT/SATs or customer-site installs.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Hands-on skill with standard shop and electrical tools (tube-benders, torque wrenches, crimpers, multimeters, insulation testers).
• Ability to lift 50 lbs; comfortable wearing PPE (steel toes, FR, respirator when required).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to thrive amid rapid changes and incomplete data.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), as well as chat and teleconferencing applications (e.g., Teams, Slack).
