Electronics Technician - ILI Systems & Equipment

The Electronics Technician - ILI Systems & Equipment owns the full lifecycle of PIPECARE Western Hemisphere’s electronics assets - bench-level preparation, testing, calibration, repair, and reliability support across the region’s inspection technologies (Caliper, MFL, UTWM/UTCD, and EMAT), the tracking and locating equipment that supports every mobilization (AGM units, tool mounted transmitters, and pig locators) - together with management of the electronics store, tool inventory, consumables, and the component requisitioning that ties it all together.

Given the size of WH’s tool fleet and its annual tool-prep volume, this is designed and resourced as a single-incumbent role covering both functions. It shall be noted that PIPECARE has subsidiaries around the world and, although the Electronics Technician reports to the Shop Supervisor, the responsibility of the Electronics Technician is to ensure that all tasks related to the Western Hemisphere are executed according to the plan, corporate standards, and policy approved by the Corporate Office.

• Follow approved written instructions, schematics, and design specifications to assemble and prepare Caliper, MFL, UTWM/UTCD, and EMAT tools, using test equipment, hand tools, and precision soldering techniques.
• Perform electronic assembly, soldering, rework, and inspection in accordance with approved workmanship procedures, ESD-control requirements, and applicable IPC standards.
• Perform bench and pull-rig/test-loop calibration of sensors, magnetizers, transducers, odometer wheels, and IMUs against reference standards ahead of every mobilization, in accordance with approved procedures and calibration requirements.
• Execute dry-run and pull-test acceptance procedures; a tool is not released until every acceptance criterion is met and signed off.
• Conduct pressure testing of external electronics and containers.
• Perform final check, calibration, and sign-off on tools prior to mobilization.
• Assemble experimental circuitry or prototype builds per engineering instructions for R&D and internal projects.

• Build, test, and capacity-verify battery packs against run-duration requirements, with margin for delays
• Rebuild, rewire, and replace battery packs and individual cells only in accordance with approved procedures, applicable safety requirements, and authorized competency limits.
• Monitor pack health and flag batteries approaching end-of-life before they cause a field failure.
• Ensure battery packs are handled, packaged, labeled, and documented correctly for every shipment, domestic and cross-border, in accordance with applicable DOT/IATA lithium battery transportation requirements and company procedures.

• Prepare, install, and battery-test tool-mounted tracking transmitters (electromagnetic, acoustic, or magnetic) ahead of every mobilization, confirming signal strength and battery life cover the full expected run duration.
• Maintain and pre-run test Above Ground Marker (AGM) units: battery and solar power systems, antenna and geophone accessories, GPS time synchronization, and onboard data storage.
• Maintain and battery-test handheld and vehicle-mounted pig locators/receivers used by field crews to track tool progress and pinpoint a stopped or stuck tool.
• Maintain pig signallers and passing indicators at launch, receive, and key trap locations, including mechanical trigger, battery, and alarm function checks.
• Retrieve and back up AGM passage data after each run and provide it promptly to the Data Analysis team in the required format for odometer/IMU correlation.
• Troubleshoot and…
