• Perform testing, validation, troubleshooting, and manufacturing processes in concert with design engineers.
• Assist editing and implementing technical documentation.
• Develop your expertise concerning electro-mechanical assembly of fully electric propulsion systems.
• Respect and foster a culture of safety, including working safely around high-voltage

Minimum Qualifications:

• Minimum 2 years experience in mechanical assembly and testing and/or manufacturing environment
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings and technical documentation
• Strong critical thinking skills.
• Ability to pivot and rapidly develop solutions to changing goals
• Experience working in a collaborative team environment
