- Strong foundational understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, alongside basic computer proficiency (email, video conferencing, data entry, etc.)
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills. Ability to take direction from leadership, work independently, and thrive in an agile environment balancing R&D and manufacturing demands
Bonus points:
Must-have requirements:
- Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
- Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
- Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
- Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
