R&D Electronics Technician Build what doesn’t exist yet. Test what others can’t. Solve what others miss. We’re looking for a hands-on R&D Electronics Technician who thrives in a prototype environment - someone who enjoys building, troubleshooting, and refining electronic systems from concept through production. This is not a repetitive production role. You’ll work directly with engineering to bring new products to life, solve real technical problems, and influence how designs move into manufacturing. What You’ll Actually Be Doing - Build prototype PCBAs and cable assemblies from engineering specs and schematics
- Modify and iterate on designs as products evolve (often in real time)
- Troubleshoot and diagnose issues at the component, circuit, and system level
- Build and maintain test boxes, fixtures, and wiring assemblies
- Run functional and reliability testing on prototypes and existing products
- Provide critical feedback to engineering on manufacturability and design improvements
- Inspect vendor and internal builds to ensure quality and compliance
- Document testing, results, and design changes with precision
- Collaborate closely with engineers to solve complex technical challenges
What Makes You a Strong Fit You’re someone who: - Enjoys figuring things out—not just following instructions
- Can read schematics and translate them into real, working builds
- Has strong troubleshooting instincts and doesn’t stop at surface-level fixes
- Takes pride in clean builds, accurate work, and reliable results
- Can manage multiple priorities without constant direction
Required Experience - High school diploma (technical experience matters more than degrees here)
- Hands-on experience with:
- Soldering, wiring, and circuit assembly
- Electronic components, circuit boards, and schematics
- Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues independently
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
- Strong analytical thinking and communication skills
Preferred (But Not Required) - Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (any technical field)
- Experience with:
- Electronic CAD (e.g., Altium)
- Mechanical CAD (e.g., SolidWorks)
- IPC standards (IPC-A-610 / IPC-WHMA-A620)
- Automotive or vehicle electrical systems
Tools & Environment You’ll regularly work with: - Oscilloscopes, DMMs, and other electronic test equipment
- Prototype builds and custom test setups
- A warehouse/manufacturing environment (not a desk-only role)
What Success Looks Like - Prototypes are built accurately and efficiently
- Issues are identified early—and solved correctly
- Engineering trusts your feedback on design improvements
- Documentation is clean, complete, and usable
- You operate with minimal oversight and high accountability
