- Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, software, and integration-related issues encountered during assembly and testing.
- Identify design, configuration, documentation, process, and workmanship issues impacting product performance or manufacturability.
- Collaborate with engineers to investigate issues and implement solutions.
- Participate in prototype builds, engineering evaluations, qualification activities, and manufacturing readiness efforts.
- Create and maintain Issue Logs, TOIs (Tool Open Issues), NCIs (Non Conformance Internal), and other required documentation.
- Suggest work instruction improvements through issue logs and partnerships with engineering.
- Support root cause investigations and corrective action implementation.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, delivery, and productivity.
- Maintain compliance with safety, quality, and manufacturing standards.
- Escalate issues requiring deeper technical expertise or broader organizational coordination when appropriate.
Who we’re looking for
