• Perform electrical system bring‑up, testing, and validation at the bench and system levels
• Troubleshoot electrical and electromechanical issues and assist with root cause analysis
• Follow and promote safe work practices when working with hazardous voltages
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and bills of materials
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to provide feedback on design quality, manufacturability, and serviceability
• Assist with documentation of build procedures, test results, and field issues
• Support contract manufacturers and internal production builds as needed

What We’re Looking For

• Technical degree, certification, or equivalent experience in Electrical Technology, Mechatronics, or a related field

• IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 certification or demonstrated experience building cable and wire harness assemblies to industry standards
• Demonstrated proficiency in hand soldering, rework, and inspection of through‑hole and surface‑mount components
• Experience wiring control panels, cabinets, and industrial equipment
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Experience working with PCBAs, including assembly, test, and debug support
• Familiarity with industrial components such as sensors, motors, power supplies, relays, and PLC I/O
• Proficiency with common electrical lab and shop tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, crimpers, etc.)
• Strong troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and commitment to quality
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally
• Ability to travel up to 15% of the time

What We’d Love To See

• Current IPC‑A‑610, IPC‑7711/7721, and IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 (Class 2 or Class 3) certifications
