  • Hands‑on expertise in precision assembly techniques and a deep understanding of GD&T and technical drawings.
  • Ability to drive a project through all stages of development, from initial concept and prototyping to high‑cadence internal delivery.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to act as a technical liaison between scientists, engineers, and fabrication technicians.
  • Proficiency in CAD modeling for the design of assembly jigs, fixtures, and handling equipment.
Bonus Points For
  • Experience managing small‑scale, high‑complexity hardware with micron‑level tolerances and delicate material interfaces.
  • Deep understanding of chemical and material bonding techniques that includes glue, epoxy, soldering, and precision welding.
  • Background in automated assembly or developing semi‑automated systems for a production environment.
  • Familiarity with cleanroom operations and cryogenic vacuum systems.
  • Knowledge of advanced metrology for verifying complex 3D assemblies, such as radiography or tomography.
Pay Range

$175,900 — $263,800 USD
