## About the role

Builds and assembly: Put together the computers, server racks, and test rigs the whole team runs on, built well enough that people trust them. Catch the problems that look small now before they cost someone a day later. Cabling and networking: Run and terminate the network and power cabling and install the switches the lab depends on, then leave it clean and labeled enough that the next person never has to guess.

## What they're looking for

- Handy end to end: Give you a job like running cable from the rack to the roof, and you can plan the route, put together the bill of materials, and finish it as a clean, tidy install
- Mounting, drilling, fastening, and cable routing come naturally
- Fabrication and shop skills: You can make and modify parts: 3D printing, basic machining, welding, or confident work with hand and power tools
- Basic computer skills: You can build or set up a computer and find your way around Linux, or you’re keen to learn it fast
- Some electronics exposure: Any hands-on experience with breadboarding, soldering, or crimping harnesses
- Careful and organized: You handle expensive equipment with care, label your work, and leave things tidy for the next person
