Electronic Technician

Role & responsibilities

The Electronics Technician will be responsible for assembling, testing, calibrating, and troubleshooting electronic devices and modules used in our product ecosystem. The role involves hands-on work with PCB assemblies, sensors, communication modules, and finished electronic units to ensure high-quality and reliable production output.

Key Responsibilities

1. Assembly & Fabrication

• Assemble electronic devices, PCB modules, wiring harnesses, and enclosures as per SOPs and engineering drawings.
• Perform soldering (SMD & through-hole), crimping, cable routing, and fitting of sensors/PCBs.
• Build prototypes for new product development and assist in engineering trials.

2. Testing & Quality Control

• Conduct functional testing of hardware units using multimeters, oscilloscopes, test jigs, and diagnostic tools.
• Run calibration procedures for sensors, temperature modules, RF modules, and communication interfaces.
• Identify assembly defects and ensure units meet quality and performance standards.

3. Troubleshooting & Repair

• Diagnose faults at component, PCB, and system level.
• Rectify wiring, connector issues, soldering defects, or component failures.
• Provide feedback to the engineering team for design improvements.

4. Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain accurate test reports, inspection logs, and assembly documentation.
• Report recurrent issues and suggest process improvements.
• Follow established SOPs and update checklists when needed.

5. Cross-Functional Support

• Support Production, R&D, and Customer Support teams in root-cause analysis.
• Assist during field installation testing or remote diagnostics when required.
• Participate in internal audits and quality assurance activities.

Preferred candidate profile

• Strong knowledge of electronic components, circuit boards, and hardware assembly.
• Proficiency in soldering (including fine-pitch SMD).
• Experience with test instruments: multimeter, oscilloscope, signal generators, power supply.
• Ability to read and understand schematics, wiring diagrams, and PCB layouts.
• Good understanding of communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, RS485, LoRa/WiFi preferred).
• Troubleshooting mindset with strong analytical skills.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Familiarity with ESD safety practices and cleanroom/lab environment rules.

Education

• Diploma / ITI  / Electrical / electronics / Instrumentation Engineering.
• Certifications in soldering, PCB rework, or electronics testing are an added advantage.

Work Environment

• Electronics assembly lab / production floor.
• Interaction with R&D, Production, and Support teams.
