About The Role

Electronics Debug Technician II

Radar Reinvented.

Echodyne offers the world's first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

Echodyne Is Seeking A Electronics Debug Technician II

With experience in RF electronics to join our team working in a fast-paced environment, developing high-performance commercial radar solutions.

As an Electronics Debug Technician II, you will play a key role in the production of Echodyne radars, enabling us to meet aggressive production goals while maintaining the highest quality. You will contribute to solving and learning from challenging problems and root-cause investigations related to system-level and board-level failures, all related to state-of-the-art radar. In this role, you will draw upon your deep background in design and testing to aid in the quick progression through the smallest assessments to the largest debug efforts for groundbreaking products.

Responsibilities

• Perform measurements and tests on Echodyne Radar systems and subsystems with a goal of identifying root-cause for production test failures
• Localize failures to the subsystem level to be addressed by rework technicians before re-entry to the production flow
• Compile and analyze test and measurement data, distilling into key performance metrics, and regularly present results
• Develop and document debug methodologies in support of resolving emergent failure modes
• Work with the electrical engineering, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure the completeness of root-cause analysis and the soundness of corrective and preventative actions

Required Skills / Experience

• Hands-on experience working with micro-electronics printed circuit assemblies in a lab environment
