**Reports to**:
Production Manager

**Duties and Responsibilities**:
We are a small company and so the duties may vary considerably and they may develop as the company grows. However, it is expected that the majority of the tasks will be hands-on work in the workshop but from time to time this may include travel and working outdoors. Examples may include:

- Repair damaged or faulty products that are returned from our customers. For example, water damage to circuit boards.
- Assemble or assist in the assembly of our products and prototypes. We typically assemble products in batches and the process normally involves electronic assembly, mechanical assembly, programming and testing.

- Preparing, packaging and shipping products to and from customers.

- Maintain good records of their work, typically a logbook, and keep good record keeping practices and from time to time contribute to the writing of documentation and instructions.
- Assist in the planning, documentation and execution of research and development work and testing. Many times a year they may be required to assist in testing for new developments and enhancements, this may include outdoor testing and also analysis of data such as measurement logs or video recordings.
- Assist in live support activities, including communicating with customers remotely, triaging problems and escalating issues in a timely manner.

Experience using Python or other computational programs for data analysis.

**Working Conditions**:
Normal working hours will be Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm. However, Gmax Technology operates within a leisure industry, and as such they will sometimes be required to work outside of normal working hours, on weekends or on holidays. This might include responding to unscheduled and urgent requests from customers. Typically, time-off-in-lieu will be offered for these additional hours; however, overtime will be offered when there are significant time pressures.

They will spend a large portion of their time soldering which will include working with leaded and unleaded solder, flux, and cleaning chemicals. Additionally, some of the work may need to be completed under a microscope or magnifying lens.

From time to time, during installation or testing work, they may be required to work outdoors at any time of the year. This could include spending several consecutive full days working outdoors and scheduling may not always allow for us to avoid poor weather.

**Physical Requirements**
- Strength Guidelines

Installations and on-site testing will require them to lift ladders, tools and toolboxes. Additionally, these installations and testing visits may also require larger equipment to be lifted in and out of vehicles, up stairs or held in place temporarily. Such items may weigh as much as 50lbs.
- Motion Parameters

Daily they will require good dexterity in their hands to perform soldering, assembly and repair of small components and wires. They will also be required to sit or stand at a desk for long hours during this time.
