Job Overview

The Engineering Technician will support the New Product Development (NPD) design team through hands-on prototype build support, PCB-level testing and troubleshooting, and full system-level validation. This role bridges design engineering and manufacturing by ensuring new designs are thoroughly tested, issues are identified early, and design improvements are clearly documented. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly with electronics hardware, test equipment, and cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced development environment.

A Day In The Life

• Support NPD engineers during the design, build, and test phases of new products
• Perform functional testing, debugging, and troubleshooting of printed circuit boards (PCBs) at the component, board, and subassembly level
• Execute system-level testing of integrated electromechanical assemblies, including power, controls, communications, and I/O
• Assemble and modify electronic and electromechanical prototypes, including wiring, cable harnesses, and control panels
• Use common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators, and logic analyzers
• Identify design-related issues, document failures, and provide detailed feedback to design engineers
• Assist with design verification, validation testing, and environmental or stress testing as required
• Create and update supporting documentation such as test procedures, test reports, and build instructions
• Process engineering change notices (ECNs) and assist with prototype BOMs and material releases
• Collaborate effectively with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to support design intent and manufacturability

What will help you thrive in this role?

• 1–3 years of hands-on experience in an engineering technician, electronics technician, or similar role
• Strong experience testing and troubleshooting analog and digital PCBs
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings
• Experience with prototype builds, electrical panel wiring, and electromechanical assemblies
• Familiarity with system integration testing and root-cause analysis
• Comfortable using standard electrical and electronic test equipment
• Ability to solder through-hole and surface-mount (SMT) components
• Experience documenting test results, failure analysis, and corrective actions
• Working knowledge of CAD tools such as AutoCAD (Mechanical/Electrical); Inventor experience a plus
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook); Access and SAP experience are a plus
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with design engineers
• Associate degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics, or a related field preferred
• Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered
• Interest in continuing education toward a bachelor's degree is a plus
