  • Travel to suppliers to do initial sourcing work, solve ongoing production issues, and implement quality procedures
  • Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.
  • Collaborate with various cross-functional departments: Quality Assurance, Design Engineering, Technicians, program managers to set quality standards, inspection processes, design for manufacturability, troubleshooting, and programmatic milestones

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science
  • 5+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware
  • Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment
