The Electronics Technician will work closely with our hardware engineers to build, assemble, and validate electronic prototypes, from early-stage breadboard concepts through to production-ready units. You will be the backbone of our lab operations, ensuring that assemblies are built to a high standard and that engineers can iterate quickly and confidently.
· Perform manual soldering of through-hole, SMD/SMT, and fine-pitch components on PCBs, including work under microscope
· Assemble cable harnesses, wire looms, and connector assemblies to engineering drawings and specifications
· Carry out rework and desoldering of faulty or replaced components with minimal board damage
· Build and integrate mechanical and electronic sub-assemblies as part of prototype development
Prototyping Support
· Work directly alongside hardware engineers during the prototyping phase — build first-article samples, assist with design iterations, and flag assembly concerns early
· Interpret schematics, BOMs, assembly drawings, and work instructions to execute builds independently
· Assist in setting up and validating test jigs, fixtures, and lab equipment
Testing & Quality
· Perform functional checks and basic electrical testing on assembled boards and systems using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and function generators
· Inspect finished assemblies against IPC-A-610 workmanship standards; document and report defects clearly
· Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for assembly-related issues
Lab Operations
· Maintain a well-organized, ESD-safe lab environment; enforce safe handling practices for sensitive components
· Manage lab consumables inventory — solder, flux, tools, components — and raise replenishment requests proactively
· Document assembly procedures, rework records, and test results accurately
