The role also supports engineering activities such as assisting with the redesign of legacy test stations and participating in the validation or commissioning of duplicated test systems.

• Good interpersonal skills with the ability to work closely with engineers, managers, and production staff.
• A structured and logical approach to diagnosing links between hardware, instrumentation, and software.
• Ability to provide robust, timely fixes to keep production flowing.
• Hands‑on experience with electronic test fixtures, instrumentation, and test equipment.
