What you will do

• Turn engineering CAD into CNC aluminum, laser-cut and bent sheet-metal, metal and nylon 3D-printed, and carbon-fiber parts.
• Improve designs for manufacturability by adjusting tolerances, threads, radii, and geometry.
• Run same-day prints on the in-house 3D printer and hand-fit, drill, bend, assemble, and repair parts and units.
• Fit new parts and upgrades between unit versions, including repairs within 24 hours when needed.
• Build and maintain a network of fast local workshops and provide daily updates on production, failures, and supplier status.
