This position requires on-site presence in the lab five days per week. Expertise in SMT hand soldering (down to 0201 components), PCB rework, fine-pitch soldering, board bring-up, debugging, and testing experience is essential. Set up, calibrate, and operate electronic test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies).

Work will be prioritized through a lab ticketing system to support the testing and bring-up needs of multiple engineering teams. This role covers the full spectrum of engineering challenges, from big-picture lab improvements and process development to PC test station support, and hands-on board-level debugging and soldering. If you are energized by helping to build a growing lab, introducing new ideas and best practices, and helping teams develop, troubleshoot, and test new top products, this role is for you. Experience: 15+ years of hands-on experience in electronics testing, hardware repair, software troubleshooting, PC and lab maintenance. Familiarity with standard lab test equipment and measurement tools. Ability to read and interpret schematics, assembly drawings, and datasheets.
