Engineering Technician – Electrical / Electromechanical Prototypes

Industry: Power Electronics | High Voltage Systems | R&D

ACT is seeking a highly skilled Engineering Technician to support our Electrical Engineering and R&D teams in building, modifying, testing, and troubleshooting advanced electrical and electromechanical prototypes.

This is not a production-line role. This is hands-on, lab-based engineering support where you’ll work directly with engineers to bring new designs to life. If you thrive on electrical debugging, root cause analysis, firmware flashing, and high-voltage testing — this role is built for you.

• Build, modify, and test electrical and electromechanical prototypes
• Perform PCB soldering and rework (through-hole & surface-mount)
• Fabricate wire harnesses, cables, and subassemblies
• Assemble enclosures, chassis, and full prototype systems

• Troubleshoot circuits, assemblies, and systems
• Perform component-level rework and repair (including power components & MOSFETs)
• Conduct failure analysis and root cause investigation
• Support engineering validation and verification testing
• Flash and configure firmware using approved programming tools
• Support board bring-up and prototype validation
• Use diagnostic interfaces and test software for troubleshooting

• Operate oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, and electronic loads
• Support testing of high-voltage and high-power electrical systems
• Follow strict safety protocols in lab environments

• Perform light machining (drilling, tapping, basic milling)
• Build test fixtures and jigs from schematics or drawings

• Interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Document builds, test results, and debug findings
• Communicate technical issues clearly to engineering teams
• Work independently with minimal supervision

• 5+ years of experience as an Electrical / Electronics / Engineering Technician
• Strong hands-on soldering and rework skills (IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 preferred)
• Experience debugging power electronics and complex assemblies
• Comfortable working with high-voltage systems (up to ~1,000V)
• Experience supporting prototype builds in an R&D environment
• Ability to independently analyze issues and report findings clearly
• Familiarity with CAD viewers, ERP/PLM systems, and Microsoft Office

• Experience with EV charging systems, power electronics, material handling equipment, or charging infrastructure

• High school diploma required
• Technical school or associate degree preferred
• Equivalent hands-on industry experience considered
