Job Summary


We are looking for a skilled and self-motivated Engineering Technician to support our hardware and firmware development teams across all core consumer electronics products. This is a hands-on, in-lab role focused on executing the technical build, rework, and test support work that keeps our development programs moving. You will be the go-to resource for PCBA rework, prototype builds, fixture fabrication, and test fleet maintenance - freeing our engineers to stay focused on design and development. If you love working with your hands, thrive in a fast-paced product development environment, and take pride in doing precise, quality work, this role is for you.

Job Responsibilities


PCBA Rework & Assembly


• Perform precision soldering and rework on PCBAs, including component removal and replacement (SMD and through-hole), fly wire additions, and pad repair.


• Lift and replace fine-pitch surface mount components (QFN, BGA, LGA, and similar packages) using hot air rework stations and reflow tools.


• Interpret schematics, assembly drawings, and rework instructions to execute modifications accurately and repeatably.


• Inspect completed rework using microscopes and visual inspection tools; document work performed and outcomes.


Prototype & Unit Builds


• Assemble and rework prototype units across EVT, DVT, and PVT build phases per engineering instructions.


• Support bring-up activities by preparing boards and units to engineering specifications in advance of testing.


• Maintain accurate records of unit configurations, modifications, and build history.


Test Fixture & Jig Fabrication


• Design, build, and maintain test fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies used by the engineering team for hardware validation and characterization.• Utilize 3D printing (FDM and/or resin) to fabricate custom fixture components, enclosures, and mechanical aids - from design through print to finished part.


• Apply CAD tools (preferred) to design fixture geometry and iterate on designs based on engineer feedback.


• Identify opportunities to improve fixture reliability, repeatability, and ease of use.


Lab Equipment & Test Fleet Management


• Operate and maintain standard lab equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench power supplies, soldering stations, and hot air rework tools.


• Maintain the engineering test fleet - tracking unit inventory, configurations, and condition; performing rework or repairs to keep units test-ready.


• Flag equipment issues, calibration needs, or lab supply shortages proactively to keep the lab running smoothly.


• Organize and maintain a clean, well-stocked, and efficient lab environment.


Engineering Team Support


• Partner closely with hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineers to execute hands-on tasks that would otherwise pull engineers away from core design work.


• Take direction from multiple engineers simultaneously, prioritizing tasks effectively to meet program needs.


• Communicate clearly on task status, blockers, and completed work - keeping engineers informed without requiring micromanagement.

Job Requirements


• 3+ years of hands-on experience in an electronics lab, engineering support, or manufacturing environment.


• Proficient solderer with demonstrated experience reworking SMD components - including fine-pitch and leadless packages - using hot air and iron-based rework tools.


• Experience lifting components and performing fly wire modifications on PCBAs.• Hands-on experience with 3D printing, including operating FDM printers, preparing print files, and post-processing parts.


• Comfortable operating standard lab equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench power supplies, logic analyzers.


• Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layout files, and assembly/rework documentation.


• Detail-oriented with a strong sense of workmanship and quality.


• Organized, self-directed, and able to manage multiple concurrent tasks across a busy engineering team.

Essential Job Function


• Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) for fixture and enclosure design.


• Familiarity with resin 3D printing for high-detail fixture components.


• Exposure to consumer electronics product development cycles (EVT/DVT/PVT).


• Experience maintaining a lab test fleet or prototype unit inventory.


• Basic scripting or test automation experience (Python or similar) is a plus but not required.
