• Interpret mechanical blueprints, technical specifications, and assembly instructions to assess and troubleshoot systems.
• Work closely with engineers to identify and resolve mechanical issues and implement corrective actions when necessary.
• Ensure all mechanical systems meet performance, safety, and compliance standards before vessels are shipped to clients.
• Maintain thorough logs of test results, repairs, modifications, and any deviations from standard procedures.
• Assist in the calibration of mechanical systems and components used during production.
• Follow all best practices and safety standards in mechanical work, ensuring that all systems meet industry standards.
• Provide feedback to design and engineering teams to optimize product designs and improve mechanical processes.
• Assist with troubleshooting mechanical problems in prototype vessels and provide support for new vessel designs.

Qualifications:

• 3 years of experience in a mechanical technician or similar role, ideally in a high-tech manufacturing environment (experience with autonomous systems or defense technologies is a plus).
