- 3+ years; stated alternatives are R&D, prototype, or test technician work, or machinist work that includes assembly.
About the job
Build and test prototype sensor hardware, custom parts, fixtures, and fluid-system test rigs to help engineers move designs from concept to fielded hardware.
What you'll do
- Assemble sensor prototypes, sub-assemblies, and test rigs from drawings, sketches, and conversations with engineers.
- Machine one-off parts, fixtures, and tooling; plumb oil and coolant loops and assist with leak, pressure, and flow tests.
- Maintain shop equipment and tools, track materials, and keep the shop safe and organized.
What they ask for
- 3+ years of hands-on mechanical work as an R&D, prototype, or test technician, or as a machinist who also assembles what they make.
- Work from drawings, including GD&T, sketches, and CAD models, and inspect work using calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
- Have independently built prototype assemblies, fixtures, or test rigs from raw parts to finished builds.
- Work directly with engineers to turn rough requests into finished parts and flag designs that are difficult to make.
Nice to have
- Experience setting up and operating manual or CNC mills and lathes.
- Experience with fluid systems, or a mix of mechanical and electrical skills (wiring, soldering, sensors); building things independently outside work is also welcomed.
