What We're Looking For

• Understanding of assembly processes, tolerance stackups, and fixture design.
• Comfortable working with overseas CM/assembler partners.
• Strong documentation instincts (control drawings, assembly specs, tech packs).
• MUST be NYC-based, able to come onsite periodically for hands-on build reviews, however most work will be conducted remotely.

Nice to Have
