Assemble to engineering prints, wiring diagrams, and verbal instructions; suggest improvements as needed. Documentation & Data Collection Create and revise development assembly instructions, work procedures, and build logs. Accurately document build steps, part issues, rework, and test outcomes. Take detailed measurements, record motor performance data, and provide timely feedback to engineering teams. Fixture & Tooling Development Design and build simple jigs, fixtures, and custom tools to support repeatable and safe assembly processes. Assist in improving tooling and setup for test and automation equipment. Create 3D printed fixtures and tools for development work. Testing & Troubleshooting Support and execute static and dynamic testing of motors and electromechanical subsystems, including test stand setup and instrumentation. Conduct basic troubleshooting on mechanical and electrical issues during assembly and testing phases. Cross‑functional Collaboration Provide general technical assistance to engineers across mechanical, electrical, and systems disciplines. Collaborate with manufacturing, production, and automation engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability and automation readiness. Participate in design reviews, test planning, and root‑cause investigations. Qualifications, Knowledge, and Skills Required Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics) or equivalent hands‑on experience. 3+ years of experience in a technical or technician role with a focus on electromechanical assembly. Demonstrated hands‑on experience assembling or testing BLDC motors or similar electromechanical systems. Proficient in using hand tools, measurement instruments (calipers, micrometers, multimeters, crimpers), and basic shop equipment. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams. Experience with simple CAD tools (e.g., Creo) to support fixture and assembly aid design. Experience with J‑STD‑001. Experience with IPC 610 and IPC 620. Verbal and written communication skills. Interpersonal and customer service skills. Organizational skills and attention to detail. Time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines. Analytical and problem‑solving skills. Ability to function well in a high‑paced and at times stressful environment.
