- 3+ years (preferably 10+) of hands-on mechanical fabrication or prototype integration experience.
- Abilities in machining, welding, mechanical assembly, reading drawings, and producing detailed build documentation.
- Experience working with rugged hardware, power and fluid systems, and supporting field testing in remote or demanding environments.
- Willingness and ability to travel for field deployments and testing.
