• Maintain a clean, organized workspace with foreign object debris (FOD) control, and follow all safety and PPE protocols.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of assembly processes as production scales.
• Helpestablishthe assembly standards, documentation, and training that a growing technician team will work from.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated precision mechanical assembly experience (compressors, pumps, engines, turbomachinery, aerospace, medical device, or comparable high-tolerance work).
• Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, GD&T, schematics, and bills of materials.
• Proficiencyassembling totorque, tolerance, and fit specifications with calibrated hand and power tools.
• Experience writing orsubstantially improvingassembly SOPs or work instructions.
• Comfortoperatingfrom partial documentation and deciding what to build versus what to update.
• Experience working within a documented quality process (inspectionrecords, part traceability, nonconformance handling) in a high-reliability or regulated environment.
• Strong attention to detail, manual dexterity, and pride in workmanship.
• Clear written and verbal communicationto interfacewith design engineers and technical experts.
• Authorization to work in the U.S.
