## About the role

We are looking for an R&D Engineering Technician with strong prototype-machining and fabrication capability to turn approved CAD and drawings into test-ready hardware in Costa Mesa, California. Roughly half of the role is mechanical fabrication; the balance includes instrumentation, harness troubleshooting, supplier coordination, and development-test operations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 4 or more years of hands-on prototype machining, fabrication, toolroom, model-making, or closely related high-mix hardware experience, or equivalent evidence of independence
- Demonstrated ability to take an approved CAD model or mechanical drawing to a finished part using mills, lathes, CNC equipment, hand tools, fixtures, and appropriate inspection methods
- Ability to read mechanical drawings, understand GD&T, tolerances, materials, and inspection requirements, and identify manufacturability constraints before work begins
- Experience coordinating internal or external machine shops and resolving technical questions while preserving engineering approval boundaries
- Reliable organization, safety judgment, documentation, and communication across ad hoc work and multiple engineering customers
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
