About the role
Required Skills & Experience:
Minimum 2-year technical degree (Electronics/Mechatronics) or industry equivalent experience.
Hands-on experience in high-tech electronics manufacturing or equivalent.
Demonstrated proficiency in IPC J-STD-001 (soldering) and IPC-A-610 (acceptability of electronic assemblies), including fine-pitch soldering and small gauge wire (28-32 AWG) handling.
Strong mechanical aptitude for box builds, using hand tools, crimpers, and torque drivers for precision assembly.
Ability to read and follow complex technical specifications, assembly drawings, and wiring diagrams.
Experience working in an ESD-controlled environment and familiarity with cleanroom protocols.
Detail-oriented mindset with excellent fine motor skills for handling small components and delicate wiring.
Proficiency with digital documentation tools (Google Sheets, MS Office) for data collection and reporting.
Job Description:
PCBA Prep & Modification: Perform precision through-hole and SMT soldering, including the installation of jumpers, hardware, and component modifications on PCBs to IPC Class 3 standards.
Box Build Assembly: Execute mechanical and electrical assembly of custom control chassis, including mounting power supplies, integrating PCBs, and managing thermal interfaces.
Rack Integration & Cabling: Install electronic assemblies into 19” racks and perform system-level wiring; route, dress, and terminate complex cable harnesses with strict attention to strain relief and bend radius requirements.
Schematic & Drawing Interpretation: Read and interpret detailed electrical schematics, wire lists, and mechanical assembly drawings to ensure accurate build configuration.
Continuous Improvement: Capture redlines and document assembly best practices to improve build instructions; participate in 5S initiatives to maintain an organized, ESD-safe production environment.
Quality & NCR Process: Inspect own work and initiate Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for any material or process deviations, working with engineering to identify root causes.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
