Assemble, modify, and repair prototype assets using hand tools and computer software while exercising proper assembly and rework techniques
Work individually or in small teams to complete troubleshooting procedures while communicating with engineering teams for process documentation
Document configuration management, diagnostic and troubleshooting events and asset health using various systems and automated tools
Document prototype build changes and effectively schedule developmental modification requirements
Analyze performance through a product-focused lens, taking into account software, engineering, and consumer needs, while capturing and effectively communicating findings to developers and key stakeholders

What you'll need to succeed:

High School Diploma or GED equivalent with two years of employment experience required. Associate or Bachelor's Degree preferred
Must have a valid driver's license in the state of residence and ability to meet Latitude AI's minimum driving record requirements, as verified by Motor Vehicle Record background checks prior to hire and periodically thereafter
