• Experience with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power meters) is a plus.
• Hands‑on assembly experience (mechanical/electrical, soldering, crimping) is beneficial.
• Ability to generate clear, accurate technical reports.
• Strong computer skills (Microsoft Office, ERP systems).
• Programming experience (Python, LabVIEW) and servo drive commissioning are pluses.
• Experience with servo drives (e.g., Copley, Elmo, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa, Siemens, Bosch Rexroth) is advantageous.
• Networking familiarity (EtherCAT®, CANopen®) is a plus.
• Experience with PCB design, robotics, or automated machinery is beneficial.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong time‑management and project‑management abilities.
• Self‑directed, results‑driven, and committed to high‑quality work.
• Customer‑focused mindset with appreciation for product performance and reliability.

Work Environment

• Professional office setting with regular use of computers, phones, and lab‑based test equipment.
• Frequent movement between office and engineering lab areas.
• Requires clear verbal and written communication and the ability to perform detailed visual work.

Physical Requirements

• Regular communication, computer use, and movement throughout office and lab spaces.
• Vision requirements include close, distance, color, peripheral, and depth perception.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required; Master’s preferred.
• 4–8 years of experience in industrial product design and development.
• SolidWorks certification is a plus.
• GD&T certification is a plus.
