Senior Solder​/Electrical Assembly Technician

Senior Solder / Electrical Assembly Technician

Location:Burbank, California
Company:WET (Design)

WET creates experiences that transform the way people encounter nature’s elements. We bring together water, light, fire, fog, ice, motion, sound, and advanced engineering to create places that move people—emotionally and physically. From the Fountains of Bellagio to the Dubai Fountain, WET has redefined what is possible when artistry, technology, and precision craftsmanship work as one. WET describes its work as “unleash[ing] the magic of the elements,” bringing together artists, physicists, architects, and choreographers to push the boundaries of the physical world.

We are looking for an experienced, detail-obsessed Senior Solder / Electrical Assembly Technician
to help build the lighting systems behind extraordinary WET experiences. This is a critical, hands‑on production role for someone who brings advanced soldering skill, strong electrical and mechanical instincts, exceptional workmanship, and a genuine sense of urgency.

The components you build will travel from our production floor to some of the world’s most ambitious destinations—where they become part of the light, movement, and magic that millions of people experience.

As a Senior Solder / Electrical Assembly Technician, you will assemble, solder, test, inspect, and prepare LED lighting assemblies, light heads, cables, connectors, and power supplies for deployment in WET’s custom water‑feature and experiential projects.

You will work with delicate, high‑value components and precision tools to create reliable, production‑ready assemblies that meet exacting quality, electrical, mechanical, and aesthetic standards. This is not generic bench work: every connection, solder joint, cable route, torque setting, and test result matters.

You will partner with Production Engineering and Manufacturing teams to improve processes, document best practices, solve problems quickly, and help the team meet demanding project schedules without compromising safety or craftsmanship.

• Assemble, wire, solder, test, inspect, and prepare LED light heads, lighting assemblies, power supplies, cables, connectors, and related electrical hardware

• Clean, prepare, tin, position, and solder components onto printed circuit boards using through‑hole soldering techniques

• Build and repair cable assemblies, connectors, harnesses, and associated electrical components to drawing, schematic, and work‑instruction requirements

• Perform cable dressing, cable routing, cable‑tray work, conduit‑related installation tasks, and mechanical integration of electrical assemblies as required

• Stage materials, verify kit completeness, set up workstations, and prepare assemblies for efficient production execution

• Use calibrated precision tools and test equipment, including torque wrenches, ohmmeters, programming equipment, and other electrical diagnostic tools

• Complete electrical and functional testing; identify defects, troubleshoot failures, document results, and ensure assemblies meet acceptance criteria before release

• Handle fragile, sensitive, and precision‑built assemblies with care to prevent damage, contamination, electrostatic discharge, or cosmetic defects

• Read, interpret, and work from technical drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, bills of materials, procedures, specifications, and test instructions

• Maintain accurate build, inspection, test, rework, and traceability documentation

• Work closely with Production Engineers to develop, refine, document, and improve assembly processes, tooling, test methods, and work instructions

• Identify recurring defects, quality concerns, material issues, and process gaps; recommend practical solutions that improve quality,…
