    + Test & Troubleshoot – Perform continuity and insulation-resistance checks, leak tests, and functional instrument calibrations; diagnose faults with multimeter, scope, or PLC diagnostics.

    + Support engineering change-orders and quick-turn re-work on evolving prototypes; fabricate or machine simple brackets and test fixtures as needed.

    + Document & Communicate – Maintain accurate build logs, red-line drawings, and update BOMs; raise issues in daily stand-ups and directly with leads and engineers as issues arise.

    + Champion Safety & 5S – Enforce LOTO, PPE, and hazardous-gas protocols; keep work cells clean, organized, and inspection-ready.

    + Field & Commissioning Support – Travel up to 10% for system FAT/SATs or customer-site installs.

    + Other duties as assigned.

    + Able to lift 50 lbs; comfortable in PPE (steel toes, FR, respirator when required).

    + Strong written & verbal communication skills; thrives amid rapid changes and incomplete data.

    + Proficiency with Microsoft Office (e.g. Excel, Word, PowerPoint), as well as chat and teleconferencing applications (e.g. Teams, Slack).
