Responsibilities

Independently perform complex, multi-step assembly processes for optical, vacuum, mechanical, and electrical assemblies using work instructions, drawings, solid models, schematics, and engineering judgment.
Own assigned builds from kit readiness through final inspection, test support, documentation, nonconformance resolution, and handoff to the next production or engineering stage.
Execute new, complex, or low-volume builds where documentation may be incomplete, escalating gaps while maintaining quality, safety, and configuration control.
Partner with engineering to translate drawings, prototypes, and informal process knowledge into repeatable build methods, fixtures, work instructions, and inspection criteria.
Perform necessary maintenance and housekeeping activities to ensure a clean and safe work area.
Act as a quality gate for assigned builds, ensuring workmanship, cleanliness, documentation, and inspection results meet product and customer expectations before handoff.
Independently troubleshoot assembly, inspection, test, tooling, and process issues across optical, mechanical, vacuum, and electrical workstreams; isolate likely root causes and propose practical corrective actions.
Support root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and verification of process fixes.
Demonstrates advanced proficiency across multiple applicable production processes and product areas, with the ability to cross-train into new processes quickly.
Train, mentor, and provide technical guidance to Level I/II technicians on build methods, inspection standards, workmanship expectations, cleanroom behavior, and safe equipment use.
Provide feedback on work instructions, training materials, fixtures, and inspection methods to improve repeatability and reduce technician-to-technician variation.
Other duties or projects as assigned.
