  Execute the electrical assembly and wiring of large‑scale self‑propelled rail vehicles, including the installation of electrical controllers, battery systems, and electric motor systems.
• Panel Build:
  Assemble backplanes per mechanical drawings and wire per electrical schematics.
• Testing & Validation:
  Support the testing and validation of system performance, ensuring all hardware meets rigorous industrial safety and performance standards.
• System Diagnostics:
  Use diagnostic tools to troubleshoot high‑voltage and low‑voltage electrical issues during build and bring‑up.

  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with engineering and production teams to provide feedback on manufacturability and system performance.

• Demonstrated proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and technical drawings.
• Experience with fabrication tools, shop equipment, and electrical diagnostic equipment.
• Willingness to learn new systems and take on tasks beyond your immediate area of expertise.
• Open‑minded and comfortable working as a hands‑on individual contributor in a small‑team shop environment.
