Solid understanding of dimensional tolerances, fit, and how they affect equipment function, including critical tolerances around 0.0005 inch.

Ability to take a mechanical design from initial concept through fabrication, assembly, and a functioning finished product.

Experience designing mechanisms involving linear motion, precision motors, or robotics.

Comfort working on-site in a small engineering team, balancing detailed design work with learning unfamiliar equipment.
