Working with us means writing the next chapter for wireless charging tech, and putting your name on projects that will change the landscape of an entire industry. Be seen, be heard, launch your very own ideas into orbit, and celebrate every professional triumph alongside a small (but mighty) team of innovators just like you.
We're looking for a R&D Technician focused on Mechanical Designs that has a passion for mechanical and electro-mechanical engineering designs, prototypes, tests, fabrications, modifications, assemblies & components. Ideally you are naturally curious and enjoy working in collaborative and cross functional environments supporting engineering functions. In this role you will support the Mechanical Engineering team for new product development from concepts to production, and partner with other technicians to build and test prototype designs.
