• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, assembly instructions, and technical documentation.

• Assemble mechanical and electrical equipment according to documented requirements.

• Troubleshoot basic equipment, wiring, component, and process issues; escalate more complex problems to engineering.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Production, Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and Maintenance to support consistent manufacturing output.

• Fabricate or modify simple tools, fixtures, gauges, and prototype components as needed.

• Order standard parts and components through supplier catalogs using the appropriate project or task account.

• Develop an understanding of the manufacturing process so equipment decisions and modifications align with process requirements.

• Ask questions, identify missing information, and communicate proactively when instructions or technical requirements are unclear.

• Support additional engineering or equipment-related projects based on business needs and individual technical capabilities.

Essential Skills

• Hands-on experience assembling, setting up, maintaining, or troubleshooting manufacturing or industrial equipment.

• Experience with electrical wiring, electrical assembly, electronic components, or equipment hookups.

• Ability to read or learn to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.

• Experience in a regulated industry such as medical device, med tech, pharma.

• Experience executing equipment or process validation protocols, particularly Installation Qualification (IQ) and Equipment Qualification (EQ).

• SolidWorks experience.
