R&D Electronics Technician
 
Build what doesn’t exist yet. Test what others can’t. Solve what others miss.
We’re looking for a hands-on R&D Electronics Technician who thrives in a prototype environment - someone who enjoys building, troubleshooting, and refining electronic systems from concept through production.
This is not a repetitive production role. You’ll work directly with engineering to bring new products to life, solve real technical problems, and influence how designs move into manufacturing.
 
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
  • Build prototype PCBAs and cable assemblies from engineering specs and schematics
  • Modify and iterate on designs as products evolve (often in real time)
  • Troubleshoot and diagnose issues at the component, circuit, and system level
  • Build and maintain test boxes, fixtures, and wiring assemblies
  • Run functional and reliability testing on prototypes and existing products
  • Provide critical feedback to engineering on manufacturability and design improvements
  • Inspect vendor and internal builds to ensure quality and compliance
  • Document testing, results, and design changes with precision
  • Collaborate closely with engineers to solve complex technical challenges
What Makes You a Strong Fit
You’re someone who:
  • Enjoys figuring things out—not just following instructions
  • Can read schematics and translate them into real, working builds
  • Has strong troubleshooting instincts and doesn’t stop at surface-level fixes
  • Takes pride in clean builds, accurate work, and reliable results
  • Can manage multiple priorities without constant direction
Required Experience
  • High school diploma (technical experience matters more than degrees here)
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Soldering, wiring, and circuit assembly
    • Electronic components, circuit boards, and schematics
  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues independently
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
  • Strong analytical thinking and communication skills
Preferred (But Not Required)
  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (any technical field)
  • Experience with:
    • Electronic CAD (e.g., Altium)
    • Mechanical CAD (e.g., SolidWorks)
    • IPC standards (IPC-A-610 / IPC-WHMA-A620)
    • Automotive or vehicle electrical systems
Tools & Environment
You’ll regularly work with:
  • Oscilloscopes, DMMs, and other electronic test equipment
  • Prototype builds and custom test setups
  • A warehouse/manufacturing environment (not a desk-only role)
What Success Looks Like
  • Prototypes are built accurately and efficiently
  • Issues are identified early—and solved correctly
  • Engineering trusts your feedback on design improvements
  • Documentation is clean, complete, and usable
  • You operate with minimal oversight and high accountability
