About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Electronics Technician to join our hardware team, focused on prototype board bring-up and precision rework of fine-pitch and small-form-factor components. You'll be the person who takes a freshly fabricated PCB from bare board to fully functional unit, and the go-to expert for soldering components most people can barely see without magnification.



This is a critical role that directly impacts hardware development velocity — your work unblocks engineers and gets prototypes into testing faster.

What You'll Do

Perform board bring-up on new PCB designs, including power sequencing verification, voltage rail checks, signal integrity validation, and initial functional testing

Hand-solder, rework, and replace small and fine-pitch components including 0201 passives, QFN, DFN, LGA, and BGA packages

Execute BGA rework using hot air, IR, or reflow rework stations — including site preparation, reballing, alignment, and post-rework inspection

Diagnose hardware faults at the board level using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, thermal cameras

Work directly with hardware engineers to debug new designs, identify root causes of failures, and recommend design or assembly improvements

Modify prototype boards per ECO instructions, including microscope-level trace cuts, jumper wires, and component substitutions

Document rework procedures, bring-up checklists, and failure analysis findings

Maintain ESD-safe workstations and ensure all work conforms to IPC-A-610 and IPC-7711/7721 standards

What We're Looking For

3+ years of hands-on experience in electronics rework, prototype assembly, or board-level repair

Demonstrated ability to hand-solder 0201 passives and fine-pitch ICs reliably

Proven BGA rework experience, including removal, site cleanup, reballing, and reattachment with verified yield

Strong working knowledge of test equipment: oscilloscopes, DMMs, bench power supplies, logic analyzers

Ability to read schematics, PCB layouts, and assembly drawings

Comfortable working independently on ambiguous problems and communicating findings to engineers

Nice to Have

Familiarity with high-speed digital, RF, or mixed-signal designs

Scripting or basic programming (Python, shell) for test automation

Experience supporting low-volume production or NPI environments
