Beyond the initial build, you will configure and operate advanced laboratory equipment-including high-voltage testers, thermal chambers, and power cyclers-while troubleshooting experimental setups, performing routine equipment maintenance, and executing safe, systematic teardowns.
Additionally, you will support day-to-day lab operations through inventory management, shipping and receiving, equipment calibration, and maintaining a safe, highly organized facility.
