Interpret engineering documentation:
Work from drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, P&IDs, work instructions, and test procedures
Identify and help resolve documentation discrepancies with engineering
Maintain high standards of safety, quality, and housekeeping:
Follow all safety and contamination control requirements (FOD, ESD, cleanliness, PPE)
Support continuous improvement of build and test processes
Accurately complete build records, nonconformance reports, and test logs
Mentor junior technicians and contribute to a strong, collaborative team culture.

Skills:    
Minimum Qualifications:
High school diploma or GED
6 years of relevant hands-on technician experience
OR Associate’s degree in a technical field (e.g., electronics, mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing) plus 4 years of relevant experience

Demonstrated experience in:
Vacuum systems: pumps, gauges, valves, basic leak-checking
High-voltage and/or high-amperage systems in an industrial, test, or R&D environment
Mechanical assembly and integration using standard hand and power tools
Ability to read and interpret:
Mechanical drawings and assembly prints
Electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
Written work instructions and test procedures
Proficient with common shop and test equipment (e.g., torque tools, multimeters, oscilloscopes or data acquisition interfaces, pressure gauges).
Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Ability to work overtime, off-shifts, and weekends as needed to support program and test schedules.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and work in confined spaces, at heights, and around noisy or hazardous equipment (with proper PPE and training).

Familiarity with:
Cleanroom or controlled-environment work practices
ESD control, FOD prevention, and contamination control standards
Basic data acquisition, sensors, and instrumentation wiring
Experience with early development hardware:
Rapid prototyping, frequent design changes, build-to-concept or build-to-sketch environments
Providing feedback to engineering on assembly sequence, access, tooling, and testability
Basic computer skills, including:
Use of ERP/MES or work order systems
Reading and updating digital work instructions
Basic data entry and report writing
Demonstrated ability to mentor junior technicians and lead small integration or test tasks.

Additional Requirements:
