Hardware Technician

We are seeking a hands-on Hardware Engineering Technician to support prototype development, hardware validation, board-level rework, and product testing. This role works closely with hardware and electrical engineers to build, modify, test, and evaluate next-generation devices as well as support sustaining engineering efforts on existing products.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working in a lab environment, performing fine-pitch SMT soldering and PCB rework, installing hardware into test environments, collecting performance data, and documenting results to support engineering decisions.

• Build, assemble, and modify prototype hardware systems and devices
• Perform SMT soldering, PCB rework, and component replacement on prototype and production boards
• Support engineering change requests and hardware revisions
• Replace obsolete or end-of-life components with approved alternatives and validate functionality
• Install prototype hardware into development labs, test rooms, and evaluation environments
• Configure and troubleshoot cameras, sensors, microphones, speakers, and related hardware
• Execute validation testing and collect performance data on new hardware designs
• Evaluate and compare hardware configurations, documenting performance differences and findings
• Support sensor testing and data collection efforts for new technologies and hardware concepts
• Perform hardware debugging and failure analysis using common lab equipment
• Assist with compliance, EMC, EMI, and ESD testing activities as required
• Maintain detailed test records, configurations, and validation results
• Collaborate closely with electrical, hardware, and product engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle
