  • Exceptional electromechanical aptitude with the ability to disassemble and reassemble complex equipment without instructions.​

  • Experience with hands-on electromechanical troubleshooting and failure analysis.​

  • Understanding of electrical hazards and safety protocols, especially concerning high-voltage equipment and machine shop equipment.​
