• Active or prior U.S. security clearance, or eligibility to obtain one.

Responsibilities

• Lead assembly and integration activities, design and implement complex test setups, develop custom fixtures and tooling, and optimize the testing process for efficiency and accuracy.
• Apply advanced skills in component and subsystem integration, troubleshoot assembly issues, and contribute to the development of test procedures and protocols.
• Independently set up and operate common measurement instruments, perform basic calibrations, and acquire test data using standard measurement techniques.
• Handle complex mechanical assembly tasks, including assembling intricate components and subsystems, interpreting and modifying assembly instructions, troubleshooting assembly problems, and performing quality control checks during the assembly process.
• Perform basic machining tasks and operate common machining tools and equipment.
