As the leader in the professional power category, Duracell has a rich history of innovation, continuously introducing batteries that are smaller, thinner, with more energy and longer lasting than competitive brands.

Since March 2016, Duracell became part of Berkshire Hathaway, a Fortune 500 company that continues to focus on sustainable growth, industry-leading innovation and long-term value for customers and consumers. At Duracell, integrity, end-to-end accountability across all levels, fast decision-making and a “can do” attitude are highly valued.

Duracell has an exciting opportunity for a hands‑on Electronics Technician to contribute to a revolutionary new product and value proposition for the PROCELL B2B business. This individual will be a key contributor to the Front End Innovation (FEI) lab, responsible for board bring‑up, hardware debug, electrical characterization, and small‑batch prototype assembly in support of the PROCELL InSite IoT sensor platform. The Electronics Technician will work directly alongside hardware, firmware, and systems engineers to characterize PCBAs and host devices, collect and document electrical analysis data, perform device teardowns, and resolve hardware issues uncovered during development, integration, and field testing.

Strong bench skills, disciplined test execution, and clear written reporting are central to this role.

Location:

Onsite, Atlanta, GA

• Perform board bring‑up of new PCBA designs, including power rail verification, current draw characterization, power sequencing checks, and functional validation against design intent.
• Debug hardware issues at the board and system level using schematics, BOMs, and PCB layout files. Work component-down to isolate failures and communicate findings clearly to design engineers.
• Characterize PCBAs and host devices in the lab, including power consumption profiling, signal integrity checks, sensor output verification, ADC accuracy measurements, and environmental performance.
• Build, modify, and rework prototypes. Perform precision soldering and rework on SMT and through-hole components, including fine-pitch work, using hot air and hot twezer rework stations and stereo or digital microscopes.
• Execute light, small-batch assembly of prototype and pre-pilot hardware to support proof-of-concept builds, field trials, and reliability studies.
• Disassemble fielded devices for teardown analysis. Document construction, identify failure modes, and capture findings in structured reports with photographs and measurements.
• Set up and operate test benches, fixtures, and DUT configurations for characterization, regression, and burn-in testing. Maintain calibration logs and traceable measurement data.
• Collect, organize, and analyze electrical measurement data. Produce clean test reports with traceable methodology, raw data, and conclusions suitable for design review and internal customer use.
• Operate environmental test equipment and battery test equipment to support reliability, lifetime, and device characterization studies.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and ESD-safe lab environment. Manage consumables, calibration schedules, and lab inventory.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and systems engineers to translate field issues, customer findings, and design questions into bench experiments and reproducible test results.
• Provide regular written and verbal updates to engineering leadership on test progress, issues, anomalies, and proposed next steps.

• Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical Technology, or a closely related discipline. Bachelor’s degree, military electronics training (such as Navy ET / EM, Air Force 2E series, Army 94E), or equivalent demonstrated…
