• Strong hands-on skills with hand and power tools and a willingness to work in lab and field environments
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot electromechanical systems and apply structured problem-solving methodologies
• Experience working with contract manufacturers to ramp volume production of electronics enclosures, machined components, molded parts, and soft goods
• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to explain technical tradeoffs to engineers and non-engineers

• A strongly pragmatic, “get it done” mindset and comfort with ambiguity

Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritize product improvement opportunities using field, customer, and manufacturing data
• Design, prototype, validate, and test engineering changes and new electromechanical products for manufacturability and field reliability
• Own DFx/DFM activities: BOM creation and management, tolerance stacks, supplier selection, configuration/revision management, and cost/quality tradeoffs
• Lead supplier and contract manufacturer interactions to ensure timely production ramp, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
• Establish and enforce rigorous test, validation, and performance optimization practices to ensure reliability in harsh mine environments
• Troubleshoot complex product issues across mechanical, electrical, and firmware domains, and coordinate remediation with cross-functional teams and customers
• Mentor and raise the technical bar for other engineers on the hardware team
