You will also support fixture fabrication, assembly, verification, and validation activities while driving continuous improvement efforts focused on reducing test time, increasing fixture uptime, and improving overall product quality and reliability.


Additionally, you will generate and maintain technical documentation including test fixture specifications, assembly procedures, electrical schematics, user manuals, and validation reports.
