+ Identify, troubleshoot, and solve technical problems that arise during assembly, testing, or operation of systems.

+ Set a positive example for other team members by demonstrating best practices, strong work ethic, and attention to detail.

+ Oversee the full process from assembly through final test, acting as a reference point for problem solving within your area of expertise.

+ Actively participate in pilot production for new products and support the transition from pilot to volume production.

+ Develop and improve technical product documentation (TPD), processes, records, and related production documentation.

+ Evaluate the impact of new or revised procedures on the production process before implementation and provide feedback and recommendations.

+ Generate constructive ideas for product and process improvements based on hands-on experience and test results.

+ Acquire and maintain sufficient knowledge of new and existing products, processes, modifications, sub-modules, and complete systems.

+ Develop an in-depth understanding of how individual modules interact with the overall system and other subsystems.

+ Share relevant expertise and best practices with colleagues to support knowledge transfer and team development.

+ Support strong teamwork by collaborating on solutions, participating in departmental tasks, and implementing agreed improvements.

+ Coordinate daily activities in line with the production plan and monitor progress against practical realities on the floor.

+ Closely control and manage the use of tools, materials, and equipment to ensure availability, proper use, and care.

+ Perform mechanical assembly and testing operations using hand tools, test equipment, and appropriate documentation.

+ Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams to guide assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and repair activities.

+ Conduct inspection and testing of systems and subassemblies, document results, and perform troubleshooting and repairs as needed.

+ Support lean manufacturing, kaizen activities, and other process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency, quality, and safety.

Essential Skills

+ Experience building and testing mechanical and electrical systems, preferably in a manufacturing or technical environment.

+ Ability to perform mechanical assembly and testing using appropriate tools and procedures.

+ Proficiency in reading and interpreting blueprints, mechanical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.

+ Hands-on experience with electrical and electro-mechanical assembly, wiring, and troubleshooting.

+ Mechanical aptitude and a strong inclination toward working with mechanical and electro-mechanical systems.

+ Experience using hand tools and test equipment for assembly, inspection, testing, and repair.

+ Ability to perform testing and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems.

+ Comfort working in a cleanroom environment and following strict procedures and cleanliness standards.

+ Strong computer skills sufficient to work with documentation, records, and test or production-related software tools.

+ Ability to inspect, identify, and document issues in assemblies and systems and support corrective actions.

+ Capability to manage multiple tasks in line with a production plan and to coordinate activities effectively.

+ Strong teamwork skills, including the ability to collaborate, share knowledge, and support departmental tasks.

+ Education such as a diploma, certification, associate degree, or bachelor's degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent manufacturing/technical experience.

+ Manufacturing internship or co-op experience in a relevant technical or production environment.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications
