SCOPE OF WORK (DELIVERABLES)
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and operations personnel on pressure vessel assembly and testing as part of overall AUV integration milestones.
- Perform device configuration tasks, including flashing and loading specified SW/FW versions onto target hardware.
- Build, test, and integrate complex electrical and mechanical assemblies into AUV systems.
- Execute detailed subsystem End-of-Line (EOL) tests according to prepared test procedures and documentation.
- Conduct incoming quality inspection testing on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).
- Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair electrical, electronic, and integrated circuits down to the component level.
- Support the refinement, documentation, and continuous improvement of pressure vessel production and test processes.
- Maintain 5S standards across test benches/work areas, conduct physical part inspections, close out assigned work orders, and adhere strictly to facility safety protocols.
- Assist with equipment upkeep, calibration tracking, tooling organization, and lab inventory maintenance.
- Provide potential travel support for offshore field operations, testing, or vessel trials as project requirements dictate.
