• Experience with electrical CAD tools such as Altium, Rapid Harness or other EWIS software.
• Prior experience working with JIRA, Teamcenter (PLM), Oracle (ERP) or equivalent.
• Experience with low volume/high mix manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure timely completion of hardware development tasks.
• Build complex electromechanical assemblies, solder electronic modules (including PCBAs), modify COTS components, and flash/load software and firmware onto devices.
• Perform precision PCB rework, including fine-pitch soldering, component replacement, jumper installation, and wiring modifications.
• Build cable assemblies and wiring harnesses, including crimping, termination, continuity testing, and labeling.
• Fabricate simple test fixtures, electronic test boxes, jigs, adapters, and harnesses to support engineering workflows.
• Support board-level bring-up testing, engineering verification testing, and regression testing across development phases.
• Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and subassemblies, identifying faults or performance issues under engineering guidance.
• Document build steps, test results, rework performed, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and traceability.
• Maintain lab organization, including ESD-safe practices, tool calibration, equipment upkeep & maintenance, and inventory tracking.
• Traveling to suppliers and test sites to support our engineering teams.
