Job description

Pay Period: Must be confirmed before publishing the compensation field

Work Location: On-site

Novatronix is an established, specialized electronics engineering and contract manufacturing company supporting PCB assemblies, electronic systems, custom power products, and related industrial and defense applications.

We are seeking an Electronic Test Technician with strong hands‑on experience testing and troubleshooting populated printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). This is a board‑level diagnostic role, not simply an end‑of‑line functional‑test or calibration position.

The successful candidate should be comfortable using electronic test equipment, reading schematics, understanding circuit behavior, tracing signals and power paths, and isolating failures to a circuit, component, or functional area.

Extensive board repair experience is not required. The primary requirement is the ability to understand why a PCBA is behaving incorrectly and systematically isolate the problem.

Preferred, Not Required

• Spanish‑English bilingual ability
• Experience leading, coordinating, or managing test personnel

Strong candidates should not be screened out solely for lacking Spanish or formal supervisory experience.

Benefits

• Paid time off
