• Proficiency in documenting technical work, validations, and time study results in a clear and structured format.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to work independently as a self-starter with minimal guidance.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to disassembly and reassembly tasks.
• Comfort working in a heads-down environment while maintaining effective communication with team members and engineers.

• Completion of a 2-year trade school or technical program in automotive or a related field is strongly preferred.
• Certification as a mechanic or completion of a recognized automotive technician program.
• Experience working with mechanical service development engineers or service integration engineers.
• Familiarity with automotive body repair and related procedures.
• Ability to collaborate with a team of technicians while also managing individual assignments.
• Strong organizational skills to manage multiple procedures and special projects concurrently.
• Comfort using email and tracker tools to manage daily tasks and project status.
