- Experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.).

- A genuine interest in manufacturing, thirst for learning, and high degree of ownership.

- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience building successful production operations from scratch, often working with very little definition.

- Harness & PCBA fabrication experience or proven competency in mechanical system design and analysis.

- Ownership of a complex bill of materials for an electromechanical product.
