- Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
- Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production
- Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware
- Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

- A genuine interest in manufacturing and thirst for learning
- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data
Preferred Qualifications
- PCBA fabrication experience including prior work with or setup/modification/monitoring SMT processes
