R&D Electronics Technician

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Build prototype PCBAs and cable assemblies from engineering specs and schematics
• Modify and iterate on designs as products evolve (often in real time)
• Troubleshoot and diagnose issues at the component, circuit, and system level
• Build and maintain test boxes, fixtures, and wiring assemblies
• Run functional and reliability testing on prototypes and existing products
• Provide critical feedback to engineering on manufacturability and design improvements
• Inspect vendor and internal builds to ensure quality and compliance
• Document testing, results, and design changes with precision
• Collaborate closely with engineers to solve complex technical challenges

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Enjoys figuring things out—not just following instructions
• Can read schematics and translate them into real, working builds
• Has strong troubleshooting instincts and doesn’t stop at surface-level fixes
• Takes pride in clean builds, accurate work, and reliable results
• Can manage multiple priorities without constant direction

Required Experience

• High school diploma (technical experience matters more than degrees here)
• Hands-on experience with:
• Soldering, wiring, and circuit assembly
• Electronic components, circuit boards, and schematics
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues independently
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Strong analytical thinking and communication skills

Preferred (But Not Required)

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (any technical field)
• Experience with:
• Electronic CAD (e.g., Altium)
• Mechanical CAD (e.g., SolidWorks)
• IPC standards (IPC-A-610 / IPC-WHMA-A620)
• Automotive or vehicle electrical systems

Tools & Environment

• Oscilloscopes, DMMs, and other electronic test equipment
• Prototype builds and custom test setups
• A warehouse/manufacturing environment (not a desk-only role)

What Success Looks Like

• Prototypes are built accurately and efficiently
• Issues are identified early—and solved correctly
• Engineering trusts your feedback on design improvements
• Documentation is clean, complete, and usable
• You operate with minimal oversight and high accountability
