This is a hands-on, cross-disciplinary role for an experienced technician who thrives in a fast-paced engineering environment and partners closely with engineers to bring new designs to life. The ideal candidate will interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and evolving design requirements to execute complex assemblies, troubleshoot system-level issues, and contribute to rapid prototyping efforts.
