Perform high-precision lapping of various materials to meet flatness, parallelism, and angular tolerances.
Interpret and work from manufacturing instructions, engineering drawings, blueprints, and CAD models.
Diagnose assembly issues and recommend effective corrective actions.
Maintain traceability of individual components within kits during the assembly process.
Bond, modify, and rework hardware in support of developmental and production builds.
Handle sensitive optical components (e.g., lenses, mirrors) safely and without damage.
Provide feedback to engineering teams to improve processes and documentation.
Essential Functions:
Operate with limited supervision while achieving operational goals in quality, schedule, and cost.
Set objectives and priorities for assigned lab tasks and responsibilities.
Influence project-level decisions through technical knowledge and practical experience.
