You begin in a one-week training academy held on-site in a classroom-style lab environment where you learn safety, electrical wiring fundamentals, standard protocols, and point-to-point electrical reading.

Expectations mirror a professional training or classroom setting, and adherence to conduct and dress standards is required. After training, you work in an extremely clean, temperature-controlled production environment. The electrical assembly area consists of cell stations with large working areas, where teams of approximately 5–7 technicians collaborate to assemble units according to specification. You primarily remain within your assigned work cell for the duration of your shift. All tools and materials needed to complete assembly are provided on site, and no outside tools are required.
