What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Assemble complex electro-mechanical systems including control panels, subassemblies, and integrated equipment
• Perform precise point-to-point wiring following electrical schematics and build documentation
• Route, terminate, label, and verify wiring harnesses and electrical connections
• Install components including  relays, sensors, controllers, power supplies, and instrumentation
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and engineering change notices
• Support system testing, troubleshooting, and functional verification
• Identify build issues and collaborate with engineering to resolve them
• Maintain high workmanship standards and organized work areas
• Follow quality processes and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
