  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to clean, consistent workmanship.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with engineering, production, and management.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with PLC hardware, HMIs, VFDs, motor starters, relays, power supplies, Ethernet devices, and industrial control components.
  • Experience with panel QC, continuity testing, voltage checks, I/O checkout, or first power-up procedures.
  • Familiarity with SCCR labels, panel nameplates, warning labels, and electrical documentation.
Physical and Work Requirements
  • Ability to stand, bend, reach, and work inside control panels for extended periods.
  • Ability to lift and move tools, materials, and panel components safely.
