Position Summary

The Mechanical/Electrical Assembly Technician I plays a foundational role in building Deploy Surveillance’s mobile surveillance units. This entry-level position supports the assembly of structural frames, electrical and mechanical components, camera mast systems, power systems (solar & generator integration), and other hardware per defined specifications and quality standards. The ideal candidate demonstrates mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and the ability to work safely and collaboratively in a hands-on production environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble mobile surveillance units following work orders, assembly instructions, and engineering drawings.
• Install structural components including frames, trailers, masts, mounts, and hardware.
• Fit and secure mechanical components such as camera masts, mounts, lighting fixtures, and generator systems.
• Assist with power system integration (solar panels, batteries, wiring harnesses) under supervision.
• Perform basic electrical/mechanical hookups as needed (routing wiring, connectors, harnesses) and prepare assemblies for final system integration.
• Use hand and power tools reliably and safely (drills, impact drivers, torque tools).
• Verify the integrity of assemblies — check alignment, torque specifications, and fit-up.
• Conduct pre-test inspections (visual checks, mechanical tests) and support functional testing with technicians.
• Identify and document any parts discrepancies, damaged materials, or deviations from specifications.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area consistent with shop safety policies and company standards.
• Collaborate with team members to meet daily production goals and unit delivery schedules.

• Ability to lift up to ~50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform repetitive tasks.
• Good communication skills and ability to work in a team environment.
• Basic understanding of electrical/electronic components is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in manufacturing or mechanical assembly.
• Exposure to vehicle electrical wiring or solar/generator systems.

Working Conditions

• Shop/warehouse environment — typical manufacturing conditions.
• PPE (safety glasses, steel-toe boots, gloves) required.
• Frequent bending, lifting, and interacting with medium/large mechanical assemblies.
