Role Description
We are looking to recruit an exceptional Engineering Technician to work on advanced electromechanical prototype systems.
Key Responsibilities
Assembly: Build, integrate, and modify complex electromechanical prototypes, assemblies, and test fixtures based on engineering schematics, blueprints, verbal directions and your own intuition. This will include prototypes and small volume production.
Wiring: Perform high-precision soldering, harness assembly, crimping, and custom wiring.
Fabrication: Milling, turning, drilling, cutting, 3D printing, drilling to modify prototype components quickly.
Testing & Diagnostics: Develop test setups and execute test plans. Perform advanced troubleshooting on mechanical, electrical, or automated systems to pinpoint root causes of issues and failures.
Data Collection & Analysis: Record detailed technical data, analyze test results, and generate clear summary reports for engineering teams.
Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve lab efficiency, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and build/test work instructions.
Equipment Maintenance: Calibrate and maintain lab equipment, tools, and inventory to ensure safety and operational readiness.
Mentorship: Provide guidance, technical support, and training to junior technicians and operators.
Lab management: Adhere to and enhance robotics lab safety protocols (e.g., E-stops, laser safety), maintain equipment calibration, and manage component inventory.
Qualifications & Requirements
Must-have:
Technical Skills:
Strong proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams.
Hands-on mastery of diagnostic equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters)
Strong proficiency with measurement tools (calipers, micrometers height gauge etc.).
Practical CAD experience and fixture design for prototyping (NX/CATIA).
Solid understanding of machining and manufacturing methods.
Solid understanding of safety standards and standard lab protocols.
Solid understanding of BLDC/stepper motors, servo drives and sensor interfaces (CAN, EtherCAT, Serial,Ethernet).
Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail.
Clear written and verbal communication, and a collaborative mindset.
Experience:
10+ years of hands-on experience as a technician in testing, manufacturing, prototyping, or R&D environments.
Education:
Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, etc.), vocational certification, or equivalent practical/military experience.
Nice-to-have:
Experience with CNC machining processes
Experience with lab automation tools (e.g., LabVIEW, basic scripting/Python).
Relevant industry certifications (e.g., IPC standards, Machining/CNC, ISO quality standards).
Prior experience in a fast-paced R&D or rapid prototyping environment.
