• Review and analyze test data outputs to identify failures in components such as front-end boards, acquisition boards, and motherboards.
• Make informed technical decisions on whether to repair or swap boards.
• Coordinate with assemblers for board removal and installation, and with calibration operators for re-testing.
• Ensure instruments pass testing, are shipped back, and customers are billed.
• Diagnose, analyze, troubleshoot, and repair equipment at the modular and component levels.
• Communicate repair trends, product failures, and recurring issues to relevant teams.
• Interface directly with customers requiring repair or limited calibration support.
• Escalate unusual or complex product issues to engineering or specialized support groups.
• Complete calibration data sheets with accuracy and efficiency.
• Maintain documentation for customer requirements, quality records, ISO compliance, and reporting systems.

• Understanding of general electronics fundamentals.
• Ability to perform logical and algorithmic troubleshooting.
• Proficiency in repair, engineering, and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with electronics, schematics, and mechanical systems.

Skills

• Experience in a service environment.
• Customer-facing communication skills.
• Familiarity with Tektronix, Keysight, or Anritsu instruments.
• Open to new graduates from strong programs or early-career technicians with solid fundamentals and a growth mindset.

The role is situated within a manufacturing environment focused on testing. The Engineering Technician will have access to their own workspace and equipment necessary for performing diagnostics and repairs.
