• Collaborate with mechatronics engineering teams testing novel in-vehicle and vehicle-adjacent technologies
• Support the operation of research studies, including participant scheduling, proctoring, and data handling
• Assist engineering & IT teams as necessary with day-to-day operations, inventory management, and hardware assembly & disassembly

What You’ll Bring:

• Current enrollment in a 2 or 4-year degree program with a technical focus
• Technological curiosity and an insatiable desire to improve systems
• Advanced computer skills and proficiency in a wide array of common software tools
• A critical eye as to what makes for good software & hardware
• Flexibility to work on a wide range of projects and ability to adapt quickly
