• Supporting the modification of existing test rigs to support a new test request;
• Troubleshooting test rig issues;
• Utilising AutoCAD and other tooling to produce electrical schematics and PCB layouts;
• Working within a non-office based environment with access to prototyping areas, avionic and fluid mechanical test rigs.
