Electrical Technician (Part-Time / Nights & Weekends)

We’re looking for a highly skilled, hands-on Electrical Technician to support our engineering team during off-hours—ideally nights or weekends. This is a very part-time role, perfect for someone with a steady hand and a sharp eye who enjoys diving into detailed electrical work.

Responsibilities

• Perform fine-pitch soldering on PCB assemblies, including adding/modifying components and “blue wire” rework
• Assemble, modify, and test custom electrical cables and harnesses
• Support PCB bring-up activities alongside engineers
• Maintain lab tools and workspace cleanliness for safe and efficient hardware development
• Provide documentation or feedback to improve future iterations of builds

Basic Qualifications

• Proven experience soldering SMT components and performing PCB rework
• Comfortable working from schematics and electrical drawings
• Experience building and inspecting electrical cables to aerospace or defense standards preferred
• Able to work independently with minimal supervision
• Flexible availability during evenings or weekends
• U.S. Person status required due to export-controlled work

Leadership Qualities

Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving. Desire and experience questioning assumptions in ways that lead to break through ideas that are ultimately implemented. Successfully bring in applicable processes/concepts/materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Ability to personally resolve minor issues in development without requiring significant support.

High Commitment, High Initiative. A successful candidate will have a genuine passion for Castelion’s mission and consistently look for ways to contribute to the company’s technical goals and prevent hardware blockers. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. Strong sense of accountability and integrity.

Clear Communicator. Proactively communicates blockers. Trusted in previous roles to be voice of company with regulators, suppliers, gate keepers and customers. Capable of tactfully managing relationships with stakeholders to achieve company-desired outcomes without compromising relationships. Emails, IMs and verbal interactions are logical, drive clarity, and detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity.

• To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
