What You’ll Drive
Build and integrate electrical and mechanical hardware, including cable harnesses, connectors, sensors, motors, actuators, and mechanical assemblies.
Perform soldering, crimping, wiring, mechanical assembly, rework, inspection, and basic troubleshooting.
Work directly with engineers to identify design and assembly issues during prototype builds.
Turn early, one-off builds into clear and repeatable assembly processes.
Create and improve work instructions, assembly records, inspection steps, fixtures, and tooling.
Support hardware testing, failure investigation, repair, and modification.
Travel to field and test sites, including desert locations, to support hardware setup, operation, troubleshooting, repair, and teardown.
Maintain high standards for workmanship, safety, ESD, FOD, and configuration control.
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of hands-on experience in electromechanical assembly, prototype fabrication, hardware integration, or manufacturing.
Strong skills in soldering, crimping, cable and wire harness fabrication, and connector termination.
Experience assembling mechanical components, motors, actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and enclosures.
Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, pinout tables, and bills of materials.
Experience using electrical test equipment, hand tools, torque tools, and precision measurement tools.
Ability to troubleshoot hardware issues and provide practical feedback to engineers.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where designs and processes are still being developed.
Willing and able to travel to remote test locations and work outdoors in heat, dust, wind, and other demanding conditions when required.
High school diploma or equivalent practical experience.
Ability to safely lift and carry up to 50 pounds without assistance from another person, with or without reasonable accommodation.
U.S. citizenship is required for clearance eligibility.
Strong Plus:
Experience building aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, or other high-reliability hardware.
IPC J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA workmanship, or similar certification.
Experience developing assembly processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, or inspection criteria.
Experience working under AS9100, ISO 9001, or a similar quality-management system.
Experience supporting environmental, vibration, thermal, vacuum, propulsion, or field testing.
Technical school, trade school, associate degree, military technical training, or apprenticeship experience in electronics, avionics, mechanical systems, or manufacturing
