We are seeking a highly skilled and hands‑on Engineering Technician to support mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup. This role plays a critical part in the development and launch of new products and systems, requiring a blend of craftsmanship, technical acumen, and team collaboration. The ideal candidate has a passion for building, testing, and refining electro‑mechanical systems in a fast‑paced environment.

Responsibilities
  • Assemble electro‑mechanical systems, pilot equipment, and new product builds (NPI) with a high degree of precision and quality.
  • Support installation, wiring, and commissioning of manufacturing and pilot equipment, including conveyors, fixtures, and automation platforms.
  • Perform manual fabrication of brackets, fixtures, and wiring harnesses; including soldering, crimping, and machining tasks.
  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and work instructions to guide builds and troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate with engineers on prototype iterations, test fixture development, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Assist in product and process validation activities, including execution of qualification protocols and data collection.
  • Operate lab tools and test equipment (meters, scopes, DAQs) to verify system performance and identify faults.
  • Document assembly procedures, test results, findings, and provide clear feedback on potential design improvements.
  • Maintain organization of the lab and tool spaces, support shipping/logistics and manage incoming parts and prototype inventory.
  • Ensure adherence to safety standards and protocols, especially when working with high‑voltage or mechanical systems.
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • 4–5+ years of experience in assembly, testing, or support of electro‑mechanical equipment or NPI builds.
  • Proficient with hand tools, power tools, shear, breaker, hydraulic press, and manual fabrication techniques; machine shop experience is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems, including ability to troubleshoot and rework.
  • Experience with CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD) and interpreting technical drawings.
  • Demonstrated ability to read and work from electromechanical diagrams or multi‑disciplinary engineering documentation.
  • Experience contributing to design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and feedback loops with engineering teams.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand or bend for extended periods, and operate safely in an industrial lab setting.
  • Communicate collaboratively across cross‑functional teams.
  • Familiarity with PLC systems, HMI/SCADA, Python, or data analysis tools is a plus.
Bonus Qualifications
  • Associate’s degree in a technical discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, manufacturing technology) or equivalent hands‑on experience preferred.
  • Proficiency in 3D EXPERIENCE, CATIA, and Solid Works for interpreting and working with complex CAD models.
  • Strong foundation in electrical systems and controls.
  • Experience with medium‑voltage (5 kV to 36 kV) systems, and power electronics.
  • Prior experience in NPI builds, pilot lines, or early‑stage product validation.
  • Experience working in Agile development environments, including task management and sprint planning using Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira.
