Engineering Technician - Electro-Mechanical Build & Integration

Catania Product Development is seeking an Engineering Specialist – Electro-Mechanical Build & Integration to support the hands‑on execution of first‑of‑kind product development efforts. This role is intended for someone who is equally comfortable working with both mechanical and electrical aspects of hardware and can help turn early product designs into functioning prototypes and integrated assemblies.

This position supports a fast‑moving environment where formal work instructions may not exist and the 3D model, drawings, and engineering intent are often the primary inputs. The right candidate can think through assembly and integration challenges, work across mechanical and electrical build tasks with confidence, and communicate issues clearly when additional engineering input is needed.

This role is best suited for individuals who prefer autonomy and are comfortable being accountable for their outcomes.

This role requires US Citizenship.

• Build first‑of‑kind electro‑mechanical products and subassemblies directly from 3D CAD models, drawings, and engineering guidance
• Determine practical assembly and integration approaches when formal work instructions or established processes do not exist
• Perform hands‑on mechanical assembly, alignment, fastening, packaging, and fit‑up activities
• Perform hands‑on electrical build work including soldering, wiring, connector installation, cable routing, harness support, and basic electronic assembly
• Move fluidly between mechanical and electrical build tasks as product needs require

• Integrate mechanical and electrical elements into cohesive working assemblies and prototypes
• Identify and work through issues involving fit, access, sequence, interfaces, wiring paths, packaging constraints, and assembly practicality
• Support the physical realization of designs where build sequence, integration approach, and hardware interaction are not always obvious from the model alone
• Help ensure assemblies are built in a way that supports function, serviceability, and test readiness

• Troubleshoot issues encountered during build, integration, checkout, and test support activities
• Use sound judgment to try practical solutions independently before escalating
• Communicate issues, blockers, and risks early and clearly, including what was attempted and where support is needed
• Help identify mismatches between design intent and physical implementation and provide useful feedback to engineers

• Support engineers in testing products against requirements
• Assist with hardware setup, configuration changes, instrumentation support, and hands‑on test execution as needed
• Observe product behavior during checkout and test activities and communicate issues that may affect performance or requirements compliance
• Help improve prototype readiness by identifying build, integration, and test support needs early

• Work closely with engineers and other team members to keep product execution moving
• Maintain strong attention to detail, organization, and follow‑through across both mechanical and electrical tasks
• Support multiple active efforts as priorities shift
• Contribute positively in a fast‑paced, hands‑on development environment where ambiguity is common

• Experience using or interpreting Solid Works models with or without engineering drawings
• Demonstrated experience building directly from 3D CAD models (Solid Works)
• Strong hands‑on experience with soldering, wiring, connector work, cable routing, and electronic assembly
• Strong hands‑on experience with mechanical assembly,…
