● Support installation and routing of cables, sensors, and electronic components within mechanical assemblies.

● Identify mechanical assembly issues such as interference, misalignment,



loose components, and improper fitment.

● Assist engineers in modifying and improving mechanical assemblies based on testing and field feedback.

System Integration & Testing

● Integrate mechanical, electrical, and embedded subsystems into complete products.

● Perform functional testing of assembled systems according to defined test procedures.

● Verify sensor operation, motor operation, communication, power supply, and embedded functionality.

● Conduct basic electrical and mechanical inspection before system testing.

● Assist in prototype testing and field validation.

● Troubleshoot issues occurring during system integration and testing.

● Record test results, failures, corrective actions, and observations.

● Support reliability and endurance testing of products.

Production & Quality

● Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), assembly instructions, drawings, and quality-control procedures.

● Maintain production records, inspection reports, test reports, and failure logs.

● Maintain component traceability and assist with BOM verification.

● Identify defective components and assemblies during production.

● Ensure proper workmanship and consistency across assembled units.

● Support prototype-to-production transition and implementation of engineering changes.

● Maintain an organized, safe, and ESD-compliant electronics and mechanical work area.





● Coordinate with engineers and fabrication teams to resolve assembly and production issues.
