$47 - $62 per hour

Slope

ABOUT THE TEAM

You will join a dynamic R&D Engineering team focused on manufacturing, testing, and deploying cutting‑edge electronic systems in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) domain. The team thrives on rapid troubleshooting, cross‑functional collaboration, and delivering high‑quality hardware in challenging environments. As part of this group, you will work closely with manufacturing and design engineers, manufacturing and automated test teams, and manufacturing technicians to build and test industry‑leading EW systems.

ABOUT THE JOB

As an Engineering Technician, you will be a hands‑on enabler of both prototype and production test hardware related to electronic warfare systems. You will support multiple projects by handling assembly, rework, test setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting activities. This role is essential to keep engineering momentum high, ensuring test stations are built to specification, tested thoroughly, and maintained to perform reliably in production.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Assemble, install, and troubleshoot circuit board and system‑level test stations, including automated test software and Radio Frequency (RF) test equipment. Perform electrical rework and modifications, including soldering, assembling and modifying wiring harnesses, test fixtures, and circuit boards. Support integration of automated test stations, including installation and configuration of test equipment such as power supplies, signal generators, power meters, and spectrum and network analyzers. Execute test procedures for integrated assemblies for troubleshooting activities, including setup of instrumentation, data collection, and report generation. Perform precision PCB rework, including fine‑pitch soldering, component replacement, jumper installation, and wiring modifications. Support electrical assembly of prototype or debug test stations supporting EW production activities. Troubleshoot electrical assemblies and subassemblies, identifying faults or performance issues under engineering guidance. Build cable assemblies and wiring harnesses, including crimping, termination, continuity testing, and labeling. Conduct incoming inspection of electrical components, PCBs, and assemblies for quality, workmanship, and compliance. Maintain lab organization, including ESD‑safe practices, tool calibration, equipment upkeep, and inventory tracking. Fabricate simple test fixtures, jigs, adapters, and harnesses to support engineering workflows. Document build steps, test results, rework performed, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and traceability.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Hands‑on experience in electro‑mechanical assembly and prototype builds, including mechanical installs, wiring, soldering, and component handling. Strong troubleshooting skills: able to follow test plans, identify failure modes, and work with engineers to resolve issues. Proficiency with PCB rework: component removal and replacement down to 0201, wiring modifications, connector/cable work. Experience with cable harness fabrication, crimping, and wiring assemblies. Good understanding of ESD, safety, and clean‑lab protocols; able to maintain rigorous environmental and safety standards. Excellent attention to detail; able to document processes, maintain quality control, and track inventory or tooling accurately. Comfortable working in fast‑paced production environment; adaptable as needs evolve. Familiarity with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, environmental chambers, etc. Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings/schematics, follow assembly instructions, and use tools/jigs/fixtures properly. Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Prior experience in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) or defense sector, or work involving ruggedized or harsh‑environment applications. Experience with testing electronic assemblies, and knowledge of electronics testing best practices. Experience with automated test software or test equipment instrumentation. Experience with inventory/tracking tools, lab management software, version control for hardware documentation. US Hourly Range $47 to $62 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
