- Ability to read and follow technical work instructions (TIS, PQS, control plans) and interpret quality alerts.
- Strong attention to detail and data accuracy when entering defects, repairs, and scrap.
- Willingness and ability to work in a high-voltage battery environment and in designated repair/teardown areas, following all PPE and safety requirements.
