Résumé du poste

Axon seeks a Senior QA Technician in Brussels to validate hardware for drones and ground robotics within the Robotics Engineering team. You will perform soldering, PCBA rework, and mechanical assembly in a world-class lab to ensure product reliability that protects lives.

In this L5 role, you’ll interface with engineers during bring-up and debugging, performing hands-on electrical and mechanical troubleshooting on prototypes and collecting precise data to inform releases.

Qualifications

• Technical degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in an electronics hardware testing or QA technician role, preferably within a high‑tech R&D environment.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and PCB layouts.
• Extensive hands‑on experience with electronic test equipment (Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, DMMs).
• Strong proficiency in SMT soldering and manual PCBA rework.
• Experience with battery testing.
• Demonstrated ability to document technical test results clearly and concisely using tools like Excel and Word.
• Independent worker capable of managing lab priorities with minimal supervision.
• Fluency in English (written and verbal); proficiency in French or Dutch is a plus for the Brussels location.

Responsabilités

• Execute hardware test plans and support mechanical assembly for robotics mainboards and subsystems.
• Perform critical calibrations, including voltage, current, and voltage-clamp calibrations, using specialized equipment such as Arbin testers.
• Conduct chassis and panel inspections and open‑circuit testing to ensure mechanical and electrical integrity.
• Perform advanced soldering and high‑complexity rework on densely populated PCBAs (rigid and flex) to support engineering prototypes.
• Bring up, characterize, and debug systems using laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and power supplies.
• Maintain and manage the Brussels engineering lab, including equipment calibration schedules, component inventory, and safety compliance.
• Collect and document test results meticulously, ensuring all data is organized and accessible for engineering review.
• Partner with Electrical and Mechanical Engineers to reproduce and isolate hardware/software boundary issues.
• Assist in regulatory compliance testing (FCC, CE, IEC) by preparing test setups and gathering data.
• Automate repetitive test flows using basic scripting or specialized test software where applicable.
