You will utilize measuring and diagnostic tools, including mechanical and optical equipment, computers, and lasers, to test and modify systems. Your responsibilities include performing troubleshooting, calibrations, and modifications of hardware and software, as well as maintaining accurate production records. You will also provide technical solutions to engineering teams, assist in the design of components and prototypes, and may mentor new technicians.
