Electronics Test and PCB Technician

We are seeking an experienced Electronics Test & Intake Technician to manage testing, troubleshooting, and intake of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in our electrical engineering PCB lab. This role focuses exclusively on the PCB lifecycle, from intake/inspection through testing and functional validation, handling a diverse mix of high-voltage/high-power boards and low-power digital/analog PCBs. You will run automated tests, isolate failures with conventional lab instruments, and perform high-quality board modifications to support rapid hardware development. 

• →Perform incoming inspection, serialization, and intake validation for custom and prototype PCBs; log hardware revisions and failure tracking seamlessly within GitLab. 
• →Execute test procedures on low-power digital/analog and high-voltage/high-power circuit boards utilizing custom Python testing scripts alongside conventional lab instrumentation. 
• →Analyze simple electronic circuits to isolate component-level or trace failures; utilize Altium Designer and Visio documentation to cross-reference schematics and layout designs during debugging. 
• →Execute high-quality, in-house board modifications, component replacements, and trace repairs on both Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Plated Through-Hole (PTH) components. 
• →Set up and safely operate standard electronics engineering lab tools including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), function generators, electronic loads, and high-voltage power supplies. 
• →Optimize PCB-specific testing stations; collaborate with engineers using SolidWorks models to ensure proper fitment of mechanical support hardware and test fixtures. 

• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on electronics experience explicitly focused on testing, troubleshooting, or assembling printed circuit assemblies. 
• Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, or a closely related technical field. 
• High degree of manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination are necessary to safely handle sensitive electronic components, manipulate test probes, and operate delicate rework tools. 
• Proven experience safely handling, testing, and initial troubleshooting of printed circuit board assemblies. High voltage experience is a plus. 
• Excellent visual acuity and the ability to work under a lab microscope for extended periods to perform fine-pitch inspection, precision soldering, and micro-rework on dense SMT components. 
• Active or recent J-STD-001 or IPC-610-A (Preferred) certification is required. 
• Expertise in fine-pitch soldering and precision rework for both SMT and PTH components on complex multi-layer boards at IPC class 3 workmanship. 
• Familiarity navigating CAD software (Altium Designer, SolidWorks, and Visio preferred) to locate parts, inspect layers, and reference schematics. 
• Experience executing Python scripts for hardware validation and utilizing GitLab (or similar Git-based tools) for issue tracking and documentation.
