  • Take ownership of prototype hardware, managing the physical components that are essential for our development and testing efforts.
  • Contribute to daily technical design discussions with senior engineers, bringing your fresh perspective to help solve complex challenges.
  • Document your findings by writing clear technical reports that will inform critical project decisions and guide the team's next steps.

What We're Looking For
