- Perform PCB soldering, including fine-pitch component assembly (e.g., 0402 SMT) under a microscope.
- Execute optical component assembly and testing procedures, often in a cleanroom environment.
- Debug custom PCBs based on schematics and perform rework to determine root cause of failure.
- Work closely with engineers and other technical staff to develop and document new processes.
- Engage in 3D printing and prototype development.
- Procure parts, manage inventory, and work with suppliers to build samples.
- Perform various hands-on lab work, assembly, and testing tasks.
- Graduation from a technical college with a mechanical or electrical technical diploma or equivalent work experience.
- Extremely hands-on with strong computer skills and the ability to efficiently pick up new software.
- Strong mechanical aptitude; comfortable using microscopes and working with small, precision parts.
- Careful attention to detail and a logical, clear approach to problem-solving.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Nice to Have: 3D printing experience.
- Attributes: A keen attitude, hardworking, willing to learn and explore, and passionate about cool technology used in disruptive new consumer electronics devices.
- Work at the intersection of optics, AI, and embedded systems.
- Support the development and manufacturing of real hardware that ships.
- Join a small, high-impact team where your contributions matter.
