Electronic Repair Engineer

About the role

Repair, upgrade, modify, or verify sub-components of a wide variety of complex automatic/logic-controlled electronic or electro-mechanical equipment at a component level. Key tasks include using advanced diagnostic techniques, improvising circuits or equipment for special needs, working independently on assigned projects, performing complex analysis of major malfunctions to the component level, and performing calibrations traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.

Responsibilities

• Set up, operate, and adjust complex instrumentation
• Troubleshoot to the component level using knowledge of analog, digital, and RF electronics
• Perform moderate circuit design and demonstrate a high level of mechanical ability (e.g., pneumatics, hydraulics, and fluidics)
• Work with minimal supervision in a high-pressure environment with shifting priorities
• Interface effectively with customers, suppliers, employees, and management
• Provide accurate repair estimates for both cost and time
• Document repair procedures and train others to perform repairs
• Maintain stocking levels of key components using organizational skills
• Lift 50+ pounds and follow all safety procedures, including electrical, chemical, and mechanical safety

Requirements

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering plus three to four years of directly related electro-mechanical experience
• Proficient soldering/de-soldering skills, including Surface Mount, Ball Grid Array, and high-density components
• Ability to interpret electrical datasheets and related terminology
• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and ability to master database programs
• Equivalent combination of education and experience may be acceptable

Skills

• High Power DC supply repair, testing, and calibration (1kW to 80kW)
• AC and DC Servo/Stepper motor rebuild and test
• Embedded systems hardware/firmware (CPLD, FPGA, MPU, etc.)
• Senior experience in AC and DC circuitry, advanced test equipment, simulation software, and discrete semiconductor characteristics
• LabVIEW, Python, Multi-Sim, or equivalent electrical design software
• Hardware programming languages (e.g., JTAG)
