Electronics Engineer Technician

RO Intelligence is building advanced hardware and monitoring systems for desalination and water infrastructure. Our work depends on reliable, field-ready electronics that can operate in real-world environments, from the lab bench to pilot deployments.

We are looking for a hands-on Electronics Technician who can help build, test, troubleshoot, repair, and document the physical hardware behind our desalination monitoring platform.

About the Role

This is a practical, bench-focused hardware role. You will work directly with circuit boards, sensors, wiring, connectors, enclosures, instrumentation, test fixtures, and prototype assemblies. The right person is comfortable making hardware work in the real world and turning messy prototype work into repeatable build and test processes.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys soldering, PCB rework, cable harnesses, instrumentation setup, troubleshooting, and hands-on hardware debugging. We are looking for a builder, not a desk-only designer.

Compensation:

$70,000–$95,000 base annual salary, depending on experience, location, and demonstrated hands-on electronics skills. Equivalent hourly range: approximately $34–$46/hour.

What You’ll Do

You will support the build, test, repair, and improvement of prototype and pilot-ready electronics assemblies.

Responsibilities include:

• Perform electronics assembly, soldering, rework, wiring, connector repair, and component-level modifications.
• Build and maintain cable harnesses, sensor leads, test leads, enclosure wiring, and hardware assemblies.
• Support PCB bring-up, board inspection, continuity checks, power checks, signal checks, and basic component troubleshooting.
• Troubleshoot issues across boards, wiring, connectors, sensors, grounding, shielding, power systems, communications links, and test setups.
• Use bench tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, soldering irons, hot-air tools, crimpers, and test fixtures.
• Assemble, configure, and test sensor packages, data acquisition components, power distribution assemblies, and field-deployable electronics.
• Support prototype builds, pilot deployment preparation, hardware repairs, upgrades, field-readiness checks, and post-deployment refurbishment.
• Create and maintain work instructions, build checklists, wiring diagrams, test procedures, labeling standards, inspection steps, build logs, and issue tracking.
• Provide practical feedback to engineering on manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and field readiness.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 90 days, you will help ensure that:

• Prototype and pilot hardware assemblies are reliable, organized, repaired, and test-ready.
• Known failure modes are documented with clear fixes or escalation paths.
• Bench setups and test fixtures are labeled, organized, and usable by others.
• Build steps, wiring references, inspection checks, and test procedures are documented.
• Engineers receive clear, specific feedback on hardware build, repair, and field-readiness issues.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience as an Electrical Technician, Electronics Technician, Hardware Technician, Lab Technician, Test Technician, Engineering Technician, Instrumentation Technician, or similar role.
• Strong hands-on soldering skills, including through-hole soldering, wire and connector soldering, board-level modifications, and basic surface-mount or hot-air rework.
• Experience assembling, wiring, debugging, repairing, or testing physical electronics assemblies.
• Comfortable working with cable harnesses, connectors, sensors, test fixtures, enclosures, and instrumentation hardware.
• Ability to use common bench tools, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, soldering/rework equipment, crimpers, and hand tools.
• Ability to read and follow schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, bills of materials, and test procedures.
• Strong troubleshooting mindset with the ability to isolate issues related to power, wiring, connectors, components, sensors, grounding, shielding, or test setup.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage hardware environment where processes may need to be created, improved, and documented.
