• Diagnose and troubleshoot issues across hardware, wiring, sensors, firmware, Linux configuration, and system integration.
• Perform rework or repairs where appropriate, and elevate design, supplier, or process issues to engineering.
• Maintain and update build instructions, test procedures, commissioning checklists, troubleshooting guides, and known-issue notes.
• Capture lessons learned from builds and tests to improve repeatability, quality, serviceability, and manufacturability.
• Coordinate with suppliers on parts availability, lead times, order status, substitutions, and quality issues.
• Maintain accurate stock and inventory records for parts, assemblies, tools, consumables, and finished devices.
• Support improvements to tools, fixtures, test setups, diagnostic scripts, and production processes.
