Technical Skills Required:

  • Mechanical Systems: Confident in assembling/disassembling complex machinery.
  • Pneumatic Systems: Understanding of dual-action cylinders, solenoid valves, and system flow.
  • Electrical Systems: Basic troubleshooting using multimeters; low-voltage circuit experience a plus.
