Engineering Technician

The Engineering Technician supports ACT's engineering and research & development teams by independently building, modifying, testing, and troubleshooting electrical and electromechanical prototypes. This role is primarily electrical in nature, with secondary mechanical assembly responsibilities, and is based in an engineering lab environment rather than a production line. The technician works closely with engineers while receiving minimal written or verbal instruction and is expected to execute tasks independently, analyze results, and report findings clearly. This position requires strong hands-on skills, sound technical judgment, and the ability to perform failure analysis, debug complex issues, and document results.

Responsibilities :

Prototype Build, Assembly, and TestingBuild, modify, and test electrical and electromechanical prototypes to support engineering and R&D , including through-hole and surface-mount , enclosures, chassis, and prototype , connectors, and wire harnesses.

Electrical Debug, Failure Analysis, and ReworkPerform component replacement, rework, and repair as directed by engineering or based on documented , assemblies, and , functional, or performance issues and support corrective actions.

Firmware Programming and DiagnosticsPerform basic firmware flashing and configuration of electronic assemblies using computers and approved programming , update, and verify firmware images on boards and systems as part of prototype bring-up, testing, and

Lab Equipment and High-Voltage WorkSafely operate laboratory equipment including bench power supplies, oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, electronic loads / load banks, and related test , including work around high-voltage equipment up to approximately 1,000 volts, following established safety procedures and engineering guidance.

Mechanical Assembly and Fixture SupportPerform light mechanical work such as drilling, tapping, basic milling, fastening, and mechanical , drawings, or schematics.

Documentation, Reporting, and CommunicationRead and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and basic CAD , test results, observations, and , logs, and work records independently and communicate findings back to engineers and , design, or process issues verbally and in writing.

Engineering SupportWork closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to support R&D experiments, design iterations, and

Skills / Other : Strong hands-on electrical fabrication and assembly experience in an engineering or R&D , from small passive and surface-mount devices to larger power components such as MOSFETs, connectors, and high-current , behavior analysis, and failure , configuration, and diagnostic activities using a computer and approved toolsComfortable using software tools such as : CAD tools (for viewing and interpreting drawings)ERP / PLM systems (for job tracking, BOMs, and work orders)Microsoft Office tools for documentation and reportingAbility to work independently with minimal supervision and manage multiple , workmanship quality, and safety awareness.

Education / Training : High school diploma or equivalent , associate degree, and equivalent hands-on industry (, IPC-A-610, J-STD-001) are strongly preferred.

Experience : Minimum 5 years of relevant experience as an electrical, electronics, or engineering , assembling, testing, and reworking electrical and electromechanical , electrical debug, and validation testing in an engineering or R&D , power electronics, material handling equipment, or EV chargers is a plus, but not required.

Pay : $29-$33 / hr
