We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineering Technician to build, integrate, troubleshoot, and maintain complex robotic systems and engineering test assets.

• Independently troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and system-level failures using test equipment, logs, data, and engineering documentation.

• Own assigned hardware and test assets, including configuration, upgrades, maintenance, uptime, and readiness.

• Execute system and subsystem testing and clearly identify, document, and escalate failures.

• Work with engineering to reproduce failures, validate fixes, and drive issues to closure.

• Improve procedures, tooling, fixtures, and workflows to increase reliability, quality, safety, and efficiency.

• Maintain clear documentation of hardware configuration, test results, repairs, and known issues.

• Train and support other technicians on hardware, procedures, and troubleshooting.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building, testing, troubleshooting, or repairing complex electromechanical systems.

• Strong electrical, mechanical, and system-level troubleshooting skills.

• Experience with complex assembly, system bring-up, rework, and component replacement.

• Proficiency with diagnostic equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers, and DAQ systems.

• Working knowledge of Linux environments, shell commands, and Python for system bring-up, troubleshooting, test execution, and data collection.

• Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, CAD, BOMs, and technical documentation.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with robotics, automation, or complex electromechanical systems.

• Experience with system integration, reliability testing, or failure analysis.

• Familiarity with CATIA or similar CAD tools.

• Python, Java, and/or C++ experience.

• Knowledge of IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, or J-STD-001.

The US base pay range for this full-time position is $45.00 to $70.00 per hour.

The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
