  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, logic diagrams, and chassis wiring documentation
  • Collaborate with engineers and programmers to resolve communication and pinout issues
  • Operate shop tools and equipment safely (forklifts, cranes, multimeters, etc.)
  • Support continuous improvement by identifying and documenting wiring or programming best practices
  • Assist with cross-functional production needs (plumbing, fabrication, etc.)

  • Basic computer and programming literacy (CANalyzer, PCAN, or similar software a plus)
  • Familiarity with PLC or other logic-based control systems (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens) is a plus and beneficial for understanding multiplex programming structure
