• Basic understanding of:
• • Voltage, current, resistance
  • Simple wiring diagrams (preferred but not required)

Why Join Square 1 Industries

• Hands-on training in real manufacturing environment
• Opportunity to build practical electronics and troubleshooting skills
• Exposure to battery systems, PCBA, and full assembly builds
• Growth potential within a growing company

A Day in the Life

A typical day might include:

• Assisting with testing of finished assemblies
• Using a multimeter to check basic electrical functionality
• Helping diagnose simple issues like loose connections or wiring mistakes
• Working with production to fix and re-test units
• Supporting assembly tasks such as wiring or component installation
