Assembly & Integration: Assemble and integrate mechanical and electromechanical LPBF printer sub-assemblies using engineering drawings, BOMs, specifications, travelers, and work instructions. Install mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, fluid, motion, sensor, wiring, harness, and related hardware as applicable. Perform precision fastening, torqueing, alignment, leveling, measurement, and dimensional verification. Verify hardware configuration, workmanship, critical characteristics, and dimensional requirements. Identify missing, damaged, incorrect, or improperly configured components. Identify potential fit, form, function, manufacturability, accessibility, tooling, or integration concerns. Protect precision, high-value, and high-surface-finish components from damage or contamination. Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and other technicians to meet production priorities. Provide technical guidance and support to other technicians as appropriate to level.

Testing & Verification: Perform functional and acceptance testing of completed sub-assemblies. Execute mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, pressure, leak, motion, and other applicable subsystem tests. Configure and operate test equipment, fixtures, and instrumentation appropriate to the work. Evaluate test results against engineering requirements and acceptance criteria. Identify abnormal conditions and communicate test results, observations, and hardware behavior. Troubleshoot test failures at a complexity appropriate to experience and level. Verify hardware performance following adjustment, rework, or corrective action. Prepare verified sub-assemblies for downstream printer integration. Troubleshooting & ReworkApply structured troubleshooting methods to mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and electromechanical hardware issues. Use measurements, observations, test data, configuration information, and physical evidence to investigate failure modes. Perform approved rework, adjustment, repair, alignment, and corrective-action activities. Determine when issues can be resolved within established processes and when Engineering or additional technical support is required. Support root-cause investigation and resolution of hardware, process, component, and workmanship issues. Clearly communicate troubleshooting observations, findings, and corrective actions. Support other technicians during troubleshooting and rework activities as appropriate to level.
