Mechatronics Technician
The Mechatronics Technician provides hands-on support to the engineering team for prototype builds electrical rework harness assembly 3D printing and demo setup. This role plays a critical part in enabling fast iteration effective hardware validation and seamless physical integration for electromechanical systems including HOD prototypes seatbelt electronics and vehicle-level safety demonstrations.
What youll do:
- Build modify and repair development harnesses and cable assemblies for validation or customer mockups.
- Perform basic soldering PCB rework and connector terminations based on engineer-provided specs.
- Operate and maintain 3D printers post-process printed components and support design fit evaluations.
- Set up and maintain demo benches vehicle-level systems and functional displays for reviews and quoting support.
- Assist in prototype assembly including mechanical installations and functional electrical checks.
- Maintain tooling supplies and safe working conditions in labs and test areas.
- Document rework procedures and assist in tracking iteration history for prototypes and builds.
- Coordinate with engineers to ensure timely execution of validation tasks or pre-launch support needs.
- Build support audit and test machines or portable test equipment
