Growth Opportunities

Responsibilities

Translate designs (schematics, CAD, functional requirements) into an assembly process flow

Partner with EE, PD and SW design teams to build the first article of a given prototype, including mechanical assembly and functional test procedure verification

Generate detailed work/assembly/test instructions that inform the team’s contract labor force as they move through the assembly process, ensuring a process that is repeatable and aimed at realizing design intent

Troubleshoot assembly issues as they arise and taking corrective action as appropriate in order to keep the build on schedule

Communicate with designers responsible for a given prototype—both proactively in order to drive design improvements before the build, and reactively to solve issues slowing progress

Support the day-to-day work of the technician workforce, helping them interpret work instructions, making calls on priorities in partnership with the team’s project managers and engineers, and spotting opportunities to improve the speed or quality of work
