  • Have 1 to 2 years of hands-on experience in a technical or engineering environment
  • Have exposure to multiple engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software)
  • Are familiar with diagnostic tools like multimeters, calipers, feeler gauges, and microscopes
  • Can read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, and communicate findings clearly to engineers and operators
