About the role

  • Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
  • With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation.

Responsibilities

  • Build and integrate prototype mechanical assemblies from engineering drawings, CAD models, and work instructions, with an emphasis on speed-to-test and iterative refinement.
  • Conduct functional and performance testing on prototype hardware, collect data, and clearly document results to support engineering analysis and design decisions.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical failures and anomalies on prototype systems, identifying root causes and working with engineers to implement fixes quickly.
  • Operate hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment to fabricate, modify, or rework parts and assemblies as the design evolves.
  • Collaborate directly with mechanical and electrical engineers to provide hands-on feedback that improves design for assembly, reliability, and testability.
  • Maintain accurate records of build procedures, test results, modifications, and known issues to support the broader R&D team.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced prototype environment where designs change frequently and problem-solving on the fly is the norm.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD models to guide hands-on build and assembly work.
