Description
Mechanical technicians are responsible for 3D design. They help develop plans, drawings, and technical specifications. They help develop plans, drawings, and technical specifications. They might install, repair, and maintain machines and various parts. They might work in a variety of mechanical engineering fields such as the design, development, maintenance, and testing of machines, parts, and tools for electric vehicles and charging stations. Every day they have the opportunity to leverage their knowledge and make a difference, not only on their team but also in the wider community, to help shape the future—transportation electrification!
