## About the Role

* Practical experience in technical engineering or prototyping environments, supporting early-stage hardware development and assembly systems.
 * Demonstrated capability in hardware fabrication, including advanced soldering, wire harness termination, and PCB-level prototyping.
 * Technical proficiency operating lab instrumentation such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeters for power profiling and signal analysis.
 * Ability to interpret complex electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and engineering documentation.
 * Capability to write or modify Linux and Python scripts to drive technical automation, instrument control, and data acquisition.
 * Experience with additive manufacturing tools, CAD design tools, or 3D printing workflows is a plus.

## Description

* Perform physical bring-up and QA evaluations on early-stage engineering designs to diagnose hardware malfunctions and optimize performance.
 * Utilize spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeters to execute power profiling, signal verification, and system tuning.
 * Operate additive manufacturing technologies to build mechanical components and iterate on pre-production physical prototypes.
 * Manage firmware deployments and software release installations across physical testing hardware in the R&D lab environment.
 * Document comprehensive technical SOPs, diagnostic guides, and test records to support expanding lab infrastructure as operations scale., * This isn't a traditional manufacturing assembly-line position, you will work directly on early-stage, experimental hardware prototypes in an R&D environment.
 * This is not a desk-bound design job, you will spend your time in the hardware lab working with physical PCBs, bench instruments, and mechanical fabrication tools.
 * This isn't a static maintenance role, you'll actively feed technical feedback back to engineering teams to refine mechanical, electrical, and software designs.
