• Assist with inspection, troubleshooting, repair, and rework of electronic assemblies and lab hardware.
• Perform basic through‑hole and surface‑mount soldering and component replacement, with guidance or escalation for advanced rework as needed.
• Help identify damaged components, solder joints, traces, or connections; support repairs such as solder touch‑up, bridging, and wicking when trained and appropriate.

• Maintain an orderly, safe lab workspace and handle tools, components, and electronic assemblies with care.
• Collaborate with engineers and other technicians, communicate findings, and seek guidance when issues exceed current skill or authorization.
• Contribute ideas to improve lab, repair, and documentation processes.

You’ll have

• Basic working knowledge of electronics and common electronic components, with willingness to learn more advanced circuit concepts.
• Experience or demonstrated aptitude with soldering and electronic assembly rework; ability to develop proficiency in through‑hole and surface‑mount work.
• Comfort using common bench equipment, especially a digital multimeter; familiarity with oscilloscopes and hot‑air rework tools is beneficial.
• Ability to follow detailed procedures, interpret technical instructions, and maintain careful, accurate records.
• Good hand‑eye coordination, manual dexterity, attention to detail, and commitment to quality and safe work practices.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills, with the judgment to ask for help when appropriate.

Preferred, Not Required

• Experience with PCB repair, surface‑mount component rework, microscopes, or electronic troubleshooting.
• IPC-A-610 or IPC-7711/7721 familiarity or certification; training can be developed on the job.

Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder…or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

• Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage
