The Electrical Engineering Technician – Systems Test provides hands‑on electrical and electromechanical support for optical assembly and test operations across both Class 100 (Molecular Cleanroom) and Class 10,000 cleanroom environments. This role is responsible for troubleshooting and resolving motor control, cabling, wiring harness, and instrumentation issues on custom metrology benches and production equipment. The technician will support daily production and test bench operations, occasionally assist with new product introduction (NPI) and new bench builds, and provide infrequent support to other departments.

• Provide hands‑on electrical technical support for daily production and test bench operations, including rapid response to motor control, cable, and wiring harness issues
• Troubleshoot and repair servo/stepper motor systems, motion controllers, encoders, and feedback devices
• Diagnose circuit‑level issues on production and test equipment
• Fabricate, modify, and repair cable and wiring harness assemblies
• Perform cable testing including continuity, hi-pot, and insulation resistance verification
• Create and redline wiring diagrams, schematics, and pinout documentation
• Support new bench builds and NPI activities requiring electrical assembly, integration, and validation
• Troubleshoot data acquisition and instrumentation interfaces (GPIB, RS‑232/485, USB, Ethernet/TCP‑IP, EtherCAT)
• Support PLC troubleshooting (Allen‑Bradley, Beckhoff, or similar) and interpret ladder logic as needed
• Perform soldering and rework activities to IPC‑A‑610 / J‑STD‑001 standards
• Address power distribution, grounding, shielding, and EMI/ESD mitigation concerns
• Provide occasional electrical support to other departments as needed
• Collaborate closely with assemblers, test technicians, engineers (electrical, mechanical, optical, software), and production leadership
• Maintain housekeeping standards and support autonomous maintenance of work areas and equipment
• Demonstrate flexibility to support off‑shift production needs when required
• Follow and promote safe work practices, cleanroom protocols, ESD controls, and laser safety practices (ANSI Z136) where applicable

• Associate's degree in Electronics or…
