Job Description

The Mission

At Sunrise Systems our engineers dream up the "what if," but you make it "what is." You will be the master of the Engineering Lab, acting as the primary hands-on force in bringing prototypes to life and ensuring our hardware is bulletproof.

Engineering Technician: The Bridge Between Concept & Reality

Do you have a "surgical" hand with a soldering iron? Do you look at a complex schematic and see a story instead of just lines? Do you get a dopamine hit when you finally track down that one elusive bug?

If you’re the person people go to when a prototype "just won't work," we want you in our lab. We aren’t looking for someone to just push buttons; we’re looking for a hands-on partner to help us build, break, and perfect the next generation of LED signs and associated electronics.

What You’ll Actually Do

• The Build: Take a raw PCB and a bag of components and turn them into a masterpiece. You’ll be doing high-precision SMT rework, fine-wire jumping, and assembly that looks factory-perfect.
• The Hunt: You’ll be the "detective" on the bench. Using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and thermal cameras, you’ll diagnose failures down to the component level and suggest the "fix" to the design team.
• The Lab Rig: You’ll design and build custom test fixtures and wiring harnesses that make validation look easy.
• The Command Center: You’ll own the lab environment—managing the component library, keeping the equipment calibrated, and ensuring the "bench" is always ready for battle.

Your Toolkit

• The "Hand": Expert-level soldering (IPC-610 mindset). You’re comfortable with 0402s, QFNs, and the occasional "dead-bug" hack.
• The "Brain": You can read a schematic like a map. You know your way around SPI, I2C, and power rails.
• The "Eye": Extreme attention to detail. You notice the slightly skewed capacitor or the cold solder joint that everyone else missed.
• The "Experience": You have an Associate’s in Electronics, military training, or a "black belt" from years of real-world bench experience.

Bonus Points If...

• You’ve got a home lab or a history of "breaking things to see how they work."
• You can write a bit of code to automate a repetitive test.
• You’ve navigated the "dark arts" of EMC/EMI compliance testing before.

Years of Experience:

Minimum 3 years in relevant field.

Compensation:

Based on years of experience and level of education.
