  • Review and verify wiring diagrams and assembly instructions to ensure accurate build and integration.
  • Manage workflow in a dynamic environment, rapidly adjusting roles and responsibilities to meet production priorities and deadlines.
  • Facilitate effective verbal and written communication between technicians, engineering, and production teams to resolve technical challenges and improve processes.
