We are seeking a hands‐on Electronics Hardware Technician to join a dynamic team supporting product development, prototyping, testing, and component‐level repair operations. This role bridges the gap between design concepts and reliable, manufacturable products.
The ideal candidate brings strong component‐level fault‐finding skills, precision soldering expertise, and the ability to interpret multi‐layer PCB layouts.
Key Responsibilities
* Component‐Level Diagnostics & Repair: Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair complex PCB assemblies down to the individual component level.
* Precision Rework: Perform high‐standard soldering, rework, and replacement of fine‐pitch SMD and through‐hole components in compliance with IPC guidelines.
* Prototyping & Assembly: Build electronic sub‐assemblies and electro‐mechanical prototypes using standard workshop hand tools and light machinery.
* Wiring & Harnessing: Fabricate custom wiring looms and cable harnesses strictly according to technical drawings and specifications.
* Circuit Testing & Validation: Utilize bench instruments—including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), function generators, and logic analyzers—to validate and debug circuits.
* Microcontroller Programming: Program microcontrollers using dedicated in‐circuit programming tools and interfaces (e.g., JTAG).
* CAD Design Interpretation: Run, interpret, and verify electronic schematics and active PCB files using Altium Designer, alongside basic mechanical CAD tracking (SolidWorks).
* Failure Analysis: Implement a structured approach to conduct root‐cause failure analysis on faulty electronic components and maintain clear documentation.
* Operations & Lab Support: Assist with New Product Introduction (NPI) pilot runs, maintain lab tooling calibration schedules, and manage R&D component inventory levels.
Required Skills & Experience
* Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of dedicated, hands‐on experience in electronics testing, repair, prototyping, or manufacturing support environments.
* Education: Trade qualification, Certificate, Diploma, or Degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent demonstrated field experience).
* Soldering Proficiency: Advanced competency in micro‐soldering and desoldering fine‐pitch components under a microscope.
* Standards & Compliance: Practical, working knowledge of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)-safe practices and workmanship standards.
* Physical Capabilities: Comfortable executing fine motor tasks for extended periods and lifting test equipment weighing up to ~15 kg.
Highly Regarded Certifications (Not Essential)
* IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies)
* J-STD-001 (Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies)
* Formal ESD training certification
