Why

This is a hands-on mechanical and electro-mechanical lab technician contract in San Diego (92121), unrelated to any of Calder's lanes. Her gaps in lab and technical skills (no lab research experience, no coding or engineering background) would make her a poor candidate. The 3-month contract probably starts now and does not line up with spring or summer 2027, and it offers no conversion signal. Detailed documentation is the only transferable thread, and it is too thin to justify applying. Skip.

Watch out for

• Mechanical/electro-mechanical engineering lab work, unrelated to psychology or mental health
• 3-month contract with no stated conversion path
• Requires lab, instrument, and troubleshooting skills she lacks
• Staffing-agency style posting with a truncated description
• Likely needs immediate start, before May 2027
• Aggregator salary is a single figure, so it may be an estimate
