Engineering Technician

We are looking to recruit an exceptional Engineering Technician to work on advanced electromechanical prototype systems.

• Assembly: Build, integrate, and modify complex electromechanical prototypes, assemblies, and test fixtures based on engineering schematics, blueprints, verbal directions and your own intuition. This will include prototypes and small volume production.
• Wiring: Perform high-precision soldering, harness assembly, crimping, and custom wiring.
• Fabrication: Milling, turning, drilling, cutting, 3D printing, drilling to modify prototype components quickly.
• Testing & Diagnostics: Develop test setups and execute test plans. Perform advanced troubleshooting on mechanical, electrical, or automated systems to pinpoint root causes of issues and failures.
• Data Collection & Analysis: Record detailed technical data, analyze test results, and generate clear summary reports for engineering teams.
• Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve lab efficiency, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and build/test work instructions.
• Equipment Maintenance: Calibrate and maintain lab equipment, tools, and inventory to ensure safety and operational readiness.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance, technical support, and training to junior technicians and operators.
• Lab management: Adhere to and enhance robotics lab safety protocols (e.g., E-stops, laser safety), maintain equipment calibration, and manage component inventory.

Must-have:

• Technical
  
  Skills:
  
  
  • Strong proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.
  • Hands‑on mastery of diagnostic equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters)
  • Strong proficiency with measurement tools (calipers, micrometers height gauge etc.).
  • Practical CAD experience and fixture design for prototyping (NX/CATIA).
  • Solid understanding of machining and manufacturing methods.
  • Solid understanding of safety standards and standard lab protocols.
  • Solid understanding of BLDC/stepper motors, servo drives and sensor interfaces (CAN, EtherCAT, Serial,Ethernet).
  • Excellent problem‑solving abilities, strong attention to detail.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and a collaborative mindset.
• Experience: 10+ years of hands‑on experience as a technician in testing, manufacturing, prototyping, or R&D environments.
• Education: Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, etc.), vocational certification, or equivalent practical/military experience.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with CNC machining processes
• Experience with lab automation tools (e.g., LabVIEW, basic scripting/Python).
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., IPC standards, Machining/CNC, ISO quality standards).
• Prior experience in a fast‑paced R&D or rapid prototyping environment.
