Execute electrical and continuity tests on harnesses and PCBs; record and report results.

Apply and follow ESD controls, safety procedures, and clean work practices.

Perform basic SMT tasks as needed (component placement, reflow monitoring) - SMT experience is a plus and will be utilized when available.

Ensure traceability and accurate labeling of assemblies and components. Complete required documentation, traveler sign-offs, and inspection records.

Identify and report non-conformances; assist in corrective actions and continuous improvement activities.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-compliant work area.
