Engineering Technician- Power Electronics

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Engineering Technician to support mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup. This role plays a critical part in the development and launch of new products and systems, requiring a blend of craftsmanship, technical acumen, and team collaboration. The ideal candidate has a passion for building, testing, and refining electro-mechanical systems in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

• Assemble electro-mechanical systems, pilot equipment, and new product builds (NPI) with a high degree of precision and quality.

• Support installation, wiring, and commissioning of manufacturing and pilot equipment, including conveyors, fixtures, and automation platforms.

• Perform manual fabrication of brackets, fixtures, and wiring harnesses; including soldering, crimping, and machining tasks.

• Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and work instructions to guide builds and troubleshooting.

• Collaborate with engineers on prototype iterations, test fixture development, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Assist in product and process validation activities, including execution of qualification protocols and data collection.

• Operate lab tools and test equipment (meters, scopes, DAQs) to verify system performance and identify faults.

• Document assembly procedures, test results, findings, and provide clear feedback on potential design improvements.

• Maintain organization of the lab and tool spaces, support shipping/logistics and manage incoming parts and prototype inventory.

• Ensure adherence to safety standards and protocols, especially when working with high-voltage or mechanical systems.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED required.

• 4–5+ years of experience in assembly, testing, or support of electro-mechanical equipment or NPI builds.

• Proficient with hand tools, power tools, shear, breaker, hydraulic press, and manual fabrication techniques; machine shop experience is a plus.

• Basic understanding of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems, including ability to troubleshoot and rework.

• Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and interpreting technical drawings.

• Demonstrated ability to read and work from electromechanical diagrams or multi-discipline engineering documentation.

• Experience contributing to design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and feedback loops with engineering teams.

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand or bend for extended periods, and operate safely in an industrial lab setting.

• Communicate collaboratively across cross-functional teams

• Familiarity with PLC systems, HMI/SCADA, Python, or data analysis tools is a plus.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Associate’s degree in a technical discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, manufacturing technology) or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.

• Proficiency in 3D EXPERIENCE, CATIA, and SolidWorks for interpreting and working with complex CAD models.

• Strong foundation in electrical systems and controls

• Experience with medium-voltage (5 kV to 36 kV) systems, and power electronics.

• Prior experience in NPI builds, pilot lines, or early-stage product validation.

• Experience working in Agile development environments, including task management and sprint planning using Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira.
