• Your focus will be on completing repeatable, high-quality assemblies and subassemblies that meet defined requirements for internal use and customer delivery.
• You'll work alongside manufacturing, hardware, and service engineering teams to assemble electromechanical systems and vehicle components, report build issues, and support integration and testing activities.

• Minimum of 2 years experience in a manufacturing or similar environment, such as aerospace, construction, automotive, or electrical service industries.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawing and schematics.
• Safely use hand tools, power tools, hydraulic and pneumatics.
• This role is mainly on-site and occasionally in the field which requires work in non-climate-controlled environments and inclement weather if required or if applicable.
• Work in a stimulating, demanding, and rapidly advancing environment at the forefront of technological innovation.
• Basic English skills – ability to read and understand written instructions and effectively communicate verbally.
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without needing current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.

• Assembler tasks within a fast-moving manufacturing floor, focusing on the final product build.
• Connect wires between individual component leads, connectors, terminals, and contact points.
• Perform electrical wire terminations.
• Execute the process of cutting wires to required specifications, routing, managing, bundling, and securing them at the terminal connections.
• Disassemble, modify, rework, refurbish, and reassemble components as required.
• Perform tasks requiring knowledge of various processes, operations, and equipment.
• Produce electrical or electro-mechanical sub-assemblies by following specifications laid out in engineering prints, diagrams for wiring, list of components, wire inventories, preliminary sketches, and direct verbal instruction.
• Frequently require walking, extending arms and hands for reach, bending, stooping, kneeling, and low-level movement.
• Regularly required to ascend stairs, steps, and use vertical ladders.
• Frequently required to work on elevated platforms.
• Perform work overhead.
• Occasionally lift and move at most 40 pounds.
• Essential vision capabilities including close-up and distance vision, color differentiation, peripheral viewing, depth perception, and ability to maintain focus.

• Assemble mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical production units and subassemblies according to released drawings, work instructions, and build documentation.
• Perform repeatable production builds of wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, and electro-mechanical integrations to defined quality standards.
• Install and connect compute, control, power, and sensor systems following established procedures.
• Conduct prescribed functional tests, inspections, and basic calibration steps to verify build completeness and quality.
• Identify build defects, missing components, or out-of-spec conditions and raise issues to manufacturing or engineering leads.
• Rework or repair production units as directed using approved processes and documentation.
• Maintain organized workstations, tools, and production materials to support efficient throughput.
• Support kitting, material handling, and inventory accuracy for production builds.
• Follow ESD, safety, and quality requirements during all assembly and test activities.
• Accurately record build status, serial numbers, and production data in tracking systems.
• Assist with factory integration, final assembly, and shipment preparation as needed.
• Provide feedback on work instructions and tooling to improve clarity and repeatability.
