Job DescriptionJob Description

Electronic Test Technician (or Engineer)

We’re looking for a hands-on Electronic Test Technician (or Engineer) to take full ownership of a critical testing environment supporting production and product performance. This is a high-impact role where you’ll manage, improve, and scale a large portfolio of test fixtures, demo units, and golden samples—playing a direct role in product quality and manufacturing success.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Own and manage a robust test environment with 200+ fixtures
• Highly visible role with direct impact on production and engineering outcomes
• Hands-on, build-and-improve environment—not a desk-only job
• Opportunity to step into leadership as the function grows

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, troubleshoot, and maintain electronic test fixtures, demo boxes, and golden samples
• Diagnose and repair existing fixtures to ensure uptime and reliability
• Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and BOMs
• Support test automation efforts using C/C++
• Partner with Engineering, Production, and Quality to validate and improve test processes
• Maintain organized documentation, revision control, and inventory tracking within ERP systems
• Train internal teams and provide occasional customer-facing support

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5+ years of hands-on experience in electronics, test, or manufacturing
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Strong mechanical aptitude—comfortable building and repairing fixtures
• Experience debugging circuits and electronic assemblies
• Basic C/C++ programming experience (or willingness to learn if strong otherwise)

Nice to Have

• Microcontroller experience (Arduino, PIC, ARM, etc.)
• Familiarity with communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, GPIO)
• Experience with CAD/schematic tools (Altium, KiCad, Eagle)
• Exposure to display technologies (LCD, OLED, TFT)

Environment & Culture

• Fast-paced, collaborative, and innovation-driven
• High ownership with strong cross-functional interaction
• Direct visibility with leadership
• Growth-oriented with real advancement opportunities

Details

• Compensation: $70,000 – $90,000
• Schedule: On-site, Monday–Friday (8:00 am – 5:00 pm
