Job Title:

Engineering Technician

Job Description

This Engineering Technician role focuses on assembling, testing, troubleshooting, and supporting advanced electromechanical robotic systems and products. You will work with off-road, military, and commercial vehicle platforms, aftermarket autonomy upgrades, custom electronics and enclosures, perception sensors such as stereo cameras and LiDAR, and test fixtures used to validate these systems. The position centers on first prototype builds and early engineering development, then expands into pilot builds as designs mature to help transition products from engineering into manufacturing.

You will apply both electrical and mechanical knowledge, contribute practical fabrication ideas, and provide feedback that improves product design, manufacturability, reliability, and overall quality.

Responsibilities

* Assemble, test, and troubleshoot electromechanical robotic systems and products across off-road, military, and commercial vehicle platforms.

* Support aftermarket autonomy upgrades, custom electronics and enclosures, perception sensors such as stereo cameras and LiDAR, and test fixtures used to validate these systems.

* Focus on first prototype builds and early-stage engineering development, ensuring systems are assembled and integrated to meet engineering requirements.

* Participate in pilot builds as designs mature, helping transition products from engineering into manufacturing environments.

* Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to design, develop, install, test, and troubleshoot prototype systems.

* Perform electrical assembly work including soldering, cable harnessing, electronics assembly, and electronics enclosure assembly.

* Complete soldering tasks involving fine-pitch components, through-hole components, SMT components, ICs, and other electronic assemblies.

* Build cable harnesses and assist engineering teams with cable drawings, documentation, and build notes.

* Interpret and work from technical drawings and schematics, including Altium and other EDA tools, Solid Works, CAD models, and related documentation, rather than detailed step-by-step work instructions.

* Provide critical feedback for design improvements and help develop initial assembly processes and procedures.

* Recommend productivity improvements, identify tooling needs, and help maintain tools and equipment used by the team.

* Use electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, benchtop power supplies, multimeters, and related tools during system testing and troubleshooting.

* Document builds, troubleshooting steps, repair findings, and feedback clearly for engineering and leadership review.

* Support occasional travel to assist with product testing, installation, or customer-facing work as needed.

* Handle hands-on electromechanical builds safely, including lifting components and assemblies as required.

Essential Skills

* Two-year technical degree or equivalent practical experience in a related field.

* Hands-on electromechanical build experience with strong troubleshooting ability.

* Experience with PCB rework and cable assembly, with the ability to demonstrate these skills during the interview process.

* Proficiency in soldering fine-pitch components, through-hole components, SMT components, ICs, and other electronic assemblies.

* Knowledge of IPC standards for soldering, cable assembly, and PCB workmanship.

* Ability to build cable harnesses and interpret cable drawings and documentation.

* Ability to read and work from technical drawings and schematics using tools such as Altium, other EDA tools, Solid Works, and CAD models.

* Skill in using electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, benchtop power supplies, and multimeters for system testing and troubleshooting.

* Strong ability to work as part of a cross-disciplinary team focused on shared goals.

* Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and multitasking skills in a fast-paced engineering and manufacturing environment.

* Ability to clearly document builds, troubleshooting steps, repair findings, and feedback.

* Physical ability to lift more than 40 lbs.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

* IPC certification, or strong interest in becoming IPC certified and progressing toward Certified IPC Trainer status.

* CAD experience, including familiarity with mechanical or electrical CAD tools such as Solid Works and EDA platforms.

* Genuine enthusiasm for an environment where job titles do not limit opportunities to contribute, learn, and succeed.

* Demonstrated ability to recommend productivity improvements and identify tooling needs.

* Willingness to travel occasionally to support product testing, installation, or customer-facing work.

* Comfort working from high-level engineering documentation rather than detailed step-by-step work instructions.
