• Identify and report potential fitment, quality, manufacturing, and production-readiness improvements
• Assist with quality control inspections of production products
• Help create customer installation guides during the prototype and test-fit process
• Assist with 3D scanning of vehicles and finished products for engineering and manufacturing evaluation
• Assemble finished goods as needed
• Collaborate with engineering, product development, and other teams to support successful product launches
