Build and Test Technician
Location: Morrisville, NC
 
Job Summary:
Seeking a detail-oriented and hands-on Build and Test Technician for a short-term contract. This role is critical to our product development cycle, focusing on the system-level assembly, integration, bring-up, and testing of new electronics hardware.
 
The ideal candidate will be proficient in building complex electro-mechanical systems from engineering drawings, capable of meticulously executing test plans, and able to identify integration issues. Soldering and rework skills are highly desirable but secondary to system-build capabilities.
 
Key Responsibilities:

• System Assembly & Integration: Assemble and integrate electronic subsystems, PCBs, and components into final enclosures and test racks. Build and route complex wire harnesses and cables according to diagrams.
• System Bringup: Power on and perform initial diagnostics and calibration on fully assembled systems, working closely with engineers to troubleshoot and resolve integration, communication, or power issues.
• Test Execution: Run established system-level test procedures and validation plans using standard test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.).
• Mechanical Assembly: Handle light mechanical assembly for various circuit boards and subassembly components.
• Documentation: Meticulously document test results, system failures, and bugs.
• Electronics Rework (as needed): Assist with or perform board-level modifications, component placement, and repairs as required during debugging.

Minimum Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate's Degree (AS) in Electronics Technology, Mechatronics, or a related field is a strong plus.
• Demonstrable experience in electro-mechanical or system-level assembly and testing in an ESD-controlled environment.
• Ability to read and interpret manufacturing and test instructions, system-level assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics.
• Hands-on experience with basic electronic test and measurement equipment (DMM, oscilloscope, power supplies).
• Experience with running automated test scripts (e.g., Python).
• Familiarity with quality system procedures and documentation (e.g., ISO 9001).
• Strong attention to detail and excellent manual dexterity for handling assemblies and delicate connectors.
• Clear communication skills for reporting test results and collaborating effectively with engineers on debugging tasks.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in a similar electronics or system technician role.
• Experience in a fast-paced R&D or new product introduction (NPI) environment.
• Proficient in hand-soldering and rework techniques, including SMT and through-hole components.
• Experience building and terminating custom cables and wire harnesses (e.g., crimping, connector assembly).
• IPC-A-610 or J-STD-001 certification.
• Experience with 3D printing and low-pressure injection molding
