  • Support hands-on hardware integration, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.

  • Develop engineering documentation, test procedures, and electrical drawings.

  • Work closely with manufacturing teams to resolve technical issues and support production.

  • Perform electrical testing using multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and other test equipment.

  • Take ownership of projects from initial requirements through manufacturing and testing.

Requirements

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.

  • Hands-on experience in electrical hardware design, integration, and troubleshooting.

  • Experience with cable harnesses, connectors, electrical assemblies, or power distribution systems.

  • Strong ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and engineering drawings.
