  • Perform low-voltage (24V DC) wiring and electrical panel work
  • Read and create wiring diagrams and schematics
  • Assist with documentation, including work instructions, schematics, and validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ)
  • Follow company safety standards and support compliance with manufacturing and quality requirements

***Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor of an employment Visa at this time.

Experience, Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
