What You’ll Do

  • Precision assembly: Assemble miniature transmissions and housings by hand, using jigs, glues and hand tools.
  • Component modification: Modify parts for fit with a drill press and Dremel, and do basic PCB integration.
  • Quality checks: Inspect assemblies against spec before they move on, and flag defects or out-of-tolerance parts.
  • Operations and reporting: Log build time and task status daily in Odoo, and report technical inconsistencies to the Lead Tech.
  • Tools and inventory: Maintain shop tools and jigs, track consumables and parts stock, and flag reorder needs.
  • Process improvement: Give feedback on assembly steps, jigs and instructions to cut build time and rework.
  • Safety and upkeep: Keep the workspace organized to "Cleanroom Lite" standard and follow shop safety rules strictly.
