- Experience with basic measurement tools (e.g., calipers, tape measure)
- Demonstrated ability to fabricate and troubleshoot complex cable assemblies
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with a collaborative mindset
- Willingness to work evenings/weekends as needed to meet mission-critical deadlines
- Ability to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted and travel to test sites as required
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Experience supporting flight hardware in high-output production or R&D environments
- PCB soldering and repair experience, including surface-mount and fine-pitch components
- Familiarity with manufacturing and maintaining test systems and racks
- Working knowledge of RF systems and electronic theory
