  • Support production and RMA activities to help achieve OTTR, PPM, FPY, monthly build quantity, and floor-defect targets
  • Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing processes and drive continuous improvement initiatives through completion
  • Contribute to successful new product introduction (NPI) activities and manufacturing readiness efforts

What You'll Bring


  • Electrical Engineering Technician diploma, Electronics Technician diploma, or equivalent combination of education and practical experience. Minimum of 4 years of experience
  • Experience testing, troubleshooting, repairing, and reworking electronic systems, assemblies, and components
  • Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and work from electronic schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
  • Hands-on experience using electronic test equipment and diagnostic tools
  • Experience following structured manufacturing, repair, and quality processes
  • Ability to complete required training and adhere to operational, quality, health, and safety standards
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills
  • Experience working within an AS9100 quality management system or similar regulated manufacturing environment

Even Better If You Have


You don't need to check every box below. If you bring experience in some of these areas, we'd especially like to hear from you:


  • Prior experience testing embedded systems
  • Working knowledge of cloud-based ERP and PLM systems
  • Experience working with Linux-based operating environments
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications
  • Experience performing Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
