Job Title: Electronics Engineering Technician

Job Description

This role provides hands-on engineering support for the development, modification, and testing of electronic components and products. You will build and test 120V control panel fixtures, troubleshoot electrical devices, and support prototype development activities in an engineering lab environment. Working closely with supervisors, technicians, and engineers, you will help ensure that electronic systems and components are designed, fabricated, and tested efficiently and accurately.

Responsibilities

• Perform engineering support activities, including hands-on construction, assembly, and testing for the development of new or modified electronic components and products.
• Provide technical support to the Prototype Build and Test team to enable efficient execution of building and testing 120V control panel test fixtures under the direction and guidance of supervisors and technicians.
• Design and fabricate parts, components, and sub-systems, or arrange for their fabrication and testing as required for prototype and development projects.
• Review, mark up, and provide feedback on drawings to support drafting and design documentation, ensuring accuracy and clarity of technical information.
• Coordinate with internal customers and other departments to design, build, and test component systems, facilitating clear communication and alignment on technical requirements.
• Troubleshoot nonconforming systems and components, identify root causes of issues, and make recommendations for service, repair, or design improvements.
• Provide limited technical guidance and assistance to operators and other team members to help complete and coordinate technical activities effectively.
• Exchange technical information with vendors, customers, and inspectors regarding assigned products and components to support quality, compliance, and performance objectives.
• Use test equipment such as multimeters and other electronic instrumentation to perform measurements, diagnostics, and verification of circuit performance.
• Follow all applicable codes, procedures, and internal standards related to the job to ensure safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
