R&D, Troubleshooting, & Continuous Improvement

• Lead R&D efforts to enhance existing products or develop new capabilities based on customer needs and emerging technologies.
• Serve as a key technical resource when issues arise during design, build, or testing phases.
• Drive root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for complex electrical or system‑level issues.
• Identify opportunities to improve products, processes, and test methodologies.

Cross‑Functional Support

• Provide electrical expertise to Manufacturing, Sales, Quality, and customers as needed.
• Support production builds, installation, and operational testing to ensure conformance to specifications and regulatory standards.
• Assist in evaluating manufacturing processes and identifying opportunities for improved reliability or efficiency.
