Your day-to-day will involve updating boards to the latest firmware, assembling product, running functionality tests, logging data, and packaging the approved units.

 * Soak Testing & Bench QA: Hook up boards to 12V test benches, start long-term stress tests, and monitor the hardware for any faults, resets, or errors.
 * System Assembly: Work closely with our production specialists to learn our systems inside and out, assisting with the physical assembly and wiring of our heating kits and components.
 * Data Entry & Reporting: Accurately log test results, serial logs, and pass/fail metrics into spreadsheets or our tracking system.
 * Final Packaging: Once a board or remote passes all quality checks, carefully package the product so it is ready for inventory and shipping.
 * Bench Maintenance: Keep test harnesses, 12V wiring, tools, and your workstation organized and in good working order.
