What we offer:

Group Summary:

Oversees prototype builds from start to finish. Designs, orders, assembles, debugs, prepares tooling packages for prototype builds. Sets up processes and helps determine best practices for assembly of new products. Provides technical support by constructing experimental and prototype assemblies. Sets up and performs tests on assemblies and sub-assemblies in various stages of the assembly process. Diagnoses/troubleshoots test equipment, screw driving equipment, dispensing equipment, and various general and more complex assembly operations. Assists fellow engineers with the design/development of assembly process for mechanical components. Using process flow tools software (Visio & Excel), documents process steps and details out critical process settings. Fabricates enclosures, mechanical hardware and test equipment to aid in the design/development of mechanical assemblies. Participates in continuous improvement processes. Modifies, adapts, and interfaces to personal computers and similar systems for use in defined development of assembly processes. Performs other duties as necessary.
