- Hands-on with SOP development, box builds, PCB/A, harness and cable assembly manufacturing, and FW/SW flashing
- Comfortable around autonomy systems, integration, test, and validation of sensor/compute hardware (LiDAR, camera, radar, compute)
- Working knowledge of mechanical processes (CNC, casting, sheet metal, powder coating, jigs/fixtures), enough to judge whether a part or process will hold up in the field, and what to flag at the CM's FATP line
- Advanced proficiency interpreting mechanical and electrical designs, with working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stacking, and basic SPC
