- Manufacture, terminate, label, route, inspect and maintain electrical harnesses and test cables for FM1 integration and ground testing
- Perform prescribed electrical checks including continuity, pinout and polarity checks using approved procedures and acceptance limits
- Support installation, setup, connection and removal of EGSE and harnesses in integration areas and on-site test locations
- Maintain and troubleshoot EGSE, harnesses and test cables; identify faults and report discrepancies for engineering or quality review before making changes
- Support engineers and test teams during integration and ground-test activities by preparing equipment, maintaining cable routing and assisting with checks
- Maintain accurate build, inspection, test, maintenance and as-built records with equipment identification and configuration status
- Track tools and measuring equipment serviceability and calibration status
- Follow electrical safety, ESD, clean-work-area and hardware-handling requirements
- Support packing, transport, deployment and return of EGSE and harnesses for ground-test campaigns
- Help maintain an orderly workshop, equipment inventory and consumables stock

- Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, assembly drawings and work instructions
- Experience using hand tools and basic electrical measurement equipment such as multimeter or continuity tester
- Careful approach to workmanship, inspection, configuration control and recording
- Willingness to raise discrepancies rather than make unauthorised changes
- Basic fault-finding skills and clear communication with engineers and test teams
