  • Provide light network/IT support (router setup, device connectivity, basic troubleshooting)
    Maintain accurate documentation, inventory, SDS files, and asset records

What You Bring

  • Strong electronics fundamentals, component identification, and troubleshooting skills
  • Experience with electronics assembly, micro-soldering, and rework

  • Excellent organization, attention to detail, and commitment to lab safety
    Strong collaboration skills and ability to work independently on defined tasks

Assets: Experience in R&D or hardware labs, wiring harness assembly, SDS handling, basic networking support, and equipment calibration workflows.
