Responsibilities:
-
Support the build and modification of prototype units, including electrical harnessing, mechanical assembly, and part rework.
-
Assemble PCBs, including soldering surface-mount and through-hole components. Perform expert-level rework, including fine-pitch components and BGA packages.
-
Assemble complex test setups involving electrical wiring, fluid plumbing, and mechanical integration. Ensure setups are robust, repeatable, and safe.
-
Collaborate with design, validation, and reliability engineers to support test planning, execution, and troubleshooting. Provide feedback to improve product design and test efficiency.
-
Perform electrical and mechanical testing on high-voltage power converters, following detailed test procedures and safety protocols.
-
Interpret engineering drawings and schematics to support builds.
-
Own organization, cleanliness, and safety of the lab space. Ensure all tools, equipment, and test stations are calibrated, functional, and compliant with safety standards.
-
Coordinate ordering, receiving, and tracking of components and consumables. Maintain inventory of critical lab supplies and test equipment
-
Challenge ideas and decisions with reasoning from first principles.
-
Travel to different facilities worldwide to collaborate with teams and deploy our solutions.
Qualifications:
