Production Technician

Summary:

TRIZ Advanced Manufacturing is an entity of TRIZ Engineering Services America LLC, with the mission of building quality sub-assemblies related to electric vehicle high voltage systems and wire harness assemblies. Our mission is to always provide the products that deliver the best value and complete solution for our customers.

The EV Powertrain Production Technician builds powertrain sub-systems (power cradle assemblies, power electronics modules, HV cabling/busbars, thermal sub-systems, battery packs, PDU/HVFB) to documented standards. Work is performed in a de-energized state with HV awareness and damage-prevention practices; an electrician license is not required.

• The EV Powertrain Production Technician assembles electric vehicle powertrain sub-systems up to vehicle-level builds while maintaining strict adherence to sequence of operations, quality standards, and work instructions. Additional duties include collaborating with engineering to provide feedback, troubleshooting assembly issues, and ensuring compliance with HV-aware safety practices.
• Assemble battery packs, power electronics (inverter/converter/MCU), PDU/HVFB, thermal components (heat pump, compressor, chillers, lines), and power cradle structures to specification.
• Perform precision mechanical and electrical build tasks: torque to spec, apply sealants/adhesives, install gaskets, route and secure HV cables/busbars with correct bend radius, strain relief, and protection.
• Execute in-process quality checks (visual/dimensional), and pre-power checks per work instruction (e.g., continuity/IR where applicable); document results and elevate anomalies.
• Handle lithium battery components and sensitive electronics using ESD controls, FOD prevention, and safe handling methods that avoid latent damage.
• Install cooling lines and components; support leak-prevention steps (e.g., O-ring lube, alignment, torque pattern) and basic leak checks per instruction.
• Troubleshoot minor assembly issues; perform approved rework/repairs and record dispositions in travelers or digital logs.
• Maintain accurate records of assembly tasks, test/inspection results, component usage, and serial/lot traceability.
• Operate and maintain tools/equipment (e.g., torque tools, crimpers, presses, presses for busbar insulators, labelers, diagnostic/continuity testers); verify calibration status before use.
• Follow 5S and standard work; keep workstations organized and ready; participate in continuous improvement and redline updates to work instructions.
• Collaborate with the Team Lead and engineering on manufacturability feedback, pilot/NPI builds, and process improvements.
• Pack completed assemblies with appropriate protection (ESD measures, blocking/bracing, dunnage) and prepare for shipment in crates, stillages, or other containers; seal using approved materials.

• High school diploma or GED required, Associate’s degree or technical certification in Electrical Technology, Automotive Technology, Mechatronics, or a related field preferred.
• Certification in high-voltage awareness/safety or lithium-battery handling (e.g., HV safety training) preferred.

• 2 years’ experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably assembly in the automotive or heavy-duty truck industry.
• Demonstrated ability to access and use basic computer applications related to position requirements (e.g., MS Office; basic use of SharePoint/MES for travelers or logs).
• Experience assembling electrical/mechanical components or exposure to EV/power electronics/battery systems preferred.

• Ability to read, analyze, and interpret engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and detailed work instructions.
• Proficient in English (reading, speaking, and writing).
