Follow organizational, safety, and regulatory requirements while maintaining a strong commitment to product integrity.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in mechanical design for electrical equipment, a strong command of CAD tools, and a practical understanding of how designs translate to fabrication and assembly. They communicate clearly, manage multiple priorities confidently, and enjoy collaborating with both engineers and shop personnel.
