Electronic Technician

About the role

The Electronic Technician plays a critical role in bridging Research & Development and Manufacturing by supporting the build, testing, validation, and transfer of new products from prototype through production. This position focuses on assembling and testing engineering prototypes, troubleshooting complex manufacturing and product issues, supporting process development activities, and collaborating closely with Engineering, R&D, and Production teams to ensure successful product commercialization. The role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where products, processes, and requirements evolve and who enjoys working on next-generation technologies before they enter full-scale production.

Responsibilities

• Build, assemble, and test engineering prototypes, development units, and pre-production products.
• Support the transition of new products from R&D into manufacturing by validating processes, procedures, and tooling.
• Set up, operate, and optimize complex manufacturing and prototype fabrication processes.
• Perform electrical, mechanical, and RF testing using specialized equipment, including network analyzers and other laboratory instrumentation.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing, prototype, and product-related issues using structured problem-solving techniques and root-cause analysis.
• Partner closely with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, R&D, and Quality teams to evaluate product performance and manufacturability.
• Provide technical feedback on prototype builds, design iterations, and process improvements.
• Assist in prototype development activities, engineering change implementation, and process validation efforts.
• Conduct R&D production runs and pilot builds to validate manufacturing readiness and support product launch activities.
• Develop, maintain, and update work instructions, test procedures, manufacturing documentation, and prototype build records.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for assigned processes, products, or technologies.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on product quality, manufacturability, throughput, and cost reduction.
• Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing methods, testing procedures, and product reliability.
• Document findings, build results, testing outcomes, and process changes clearly and accurately.
• Communicate technical information and feedback effectively to cross-functional teams.
