Upskilling the team through hands-on coaching, onboarding new technicians, and building out their technical and process capabilities
Supporting the mechanical + software engineering teams in assembly, testing, and support of new robotic systems, and translating engineering intent into clear build instructions
Developing and maintaining engineering documentation, including assembly instructions and SOPs
