Ability to read and work from schematics, mechanical drawings, and interface control documents
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and comfort working hands-on with flight hardware
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment
Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings or weekends, during critical test and launch campaigns
