- Hands-on collaboration with technicians and engineers on prototype hardware
- Contributing to end-customer hardware mechanical and electrical design, including interconnects and board fabrication
Required qualifications include 8+ years of experience in manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware, a technical degree (engineering, math, or hard science preferred), demonstrated ability to deliver hardware in resource-constrained environments, and personal hands-on manufacturing experience (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly). Experience with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), or Oracle (ERP) is required. Must be a U.S. Person due to access to export-controlled information.
