Sr Electrical Technician

Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and repair electronic device board circuitry, including failure investigation down to the component level.
• Perform hands-on SMT soldering, including replacing microprocessors and other fine-pitch components on PCBAs.
• Provide manufacturing test support by performing troubleshooting, fault isolation, and implementing corrective actions for electronic products.
• Create detailed test reports documenting functional and performance testing of electronic products.
• Conduct engineering and development tests, as well as detailed experimental testing, to collect design data and support product development.
• Support product testing during integration, functional, design verification, performance, and qualification testing phases.
• Install components, units, and printed circuit boards in accordance with specifications and engineering documentation.
• Fabricate parts, cables, wire harnesses, and test fixtures required for test setups and test boxes, and maintain all related equipment, passive loads, and test fixtures.
• Maintain and write work procedures and all related documentation for each task performed to ensure repeatability and quality.
• Customize units and make adjustments or repairs according to written specifications and engineering change instructions.
• Order and maintain inventory of replacement parts for electronic test equipment, including tracking warranties, service, and repair records.
• Work with vendors to obtain pricing and availability of needed parts and perform quality checks on newly delivered equipment to ensure proper operation.
• Create ADCNs (assembly deviation/change notices) for minor electronics assembly rework instructions in accordance with IPC standards.
• Create engineering test and status reports to communicate progress, issues, and test outcomes to the broader engineering team.
• Interface with customers and suppliers as needed to support troubleshooting of electronics assemblies and test setups.
• Build and set up test boxes (breakout boxes) used as hardware test stations for PCBAs, controllers, finished products, and other electrical devices.
• Design and assemble test boxes by creating cable and wire harnesses, making wire connections, installing indicator buttons, building basic instrument control panels, drilling mounting holes, and integrating appropriate connectors.
• Support ongoing improvements in lab efficiency, equipment reliability, and test coverage through collaboration with hardware, software, test, and design engineers.
