Hardware & Lab Technician

Position Overview

This is an entry-level technical role (0-2 years of experience) focused on the hands-on maintenance, calibration, and support of sophisticated hardware and laboratory testing environments. The successful candidate will perform essential functions critical to the R&D, Quality Control, or Engineering teams, ensuring all lab equipment operates at peak accuracy and efficiency. This position serves as the foundational stepping stone for a career in hardware testing, electronic systems, or technical laboratory management, requiring exceptional attention to detail, a strong commitment to safety protocols, and a proactive approach to troubleshooting.

Job Responsibilities

• Conduct routine calibration, maintenance, and functional checks of electronic test equipment (e.g., Oscilloscopes, Multimeters, Function Generators).
• Execute and document standardized hardware validation and quality control tests on components and assemblies following established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Perform hands-on assembly, basic rework, and repair of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and prototype units, primarily utilizing fine-pitch soldering (SMT/THT) techniques.
• Troubleshoot fundamental hardware issues, identifying the root cause of failures at the component level and escalating complex problems to senior engineers.
• Manage the laboratory's inventory of parts, consumables, and tools, initiating procurement requests to maintain adequate stock levels.
• Maintain detailed and organized logs of all equipment maintenance, test results, calibration records, and material usage in a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or similar database.
• Ensure strict adherence to all laboratory safety protocols (e.g., proper handling of chemicals, electrical safety, ESD procedures, and hazardous waste disposal).
• Configure and install essential diagnostic and operating system software on test benches and lab computers.
• Assist engineers in the setup and teardown of complex experimental test fixtures and environments for ongoing projects.
• Identify and propose minor procedural improvements to enhance laboratory workflow efficiency and data integrity.
• Collaborate effectively with engineering and research teams to support testing needs and communicate clear, timely status updates on equipment availability and test outcomes.

Qualifications, Experience, Skills

• Education: Associate's Degree (A.S.) in Electrical Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, or a relevant science/technical field is highly preferred.
• Experience: 0-2 years of professional or extensive internship experience in a hardware, electronics, or technical laboratory environment.
• Technical Skills: Foundational knowledge of electronics, circuit diagrams, and digital/analog concepts.
• Tool Proficiency: Proven ability to use standard lab equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Digital Multimeters (DMMs), logic analyzers, and DC power supplies.
• Soldering: Basic to intermediate skills in soldering techniques for through-hole (THT) and surface-mount technology (SMT) components.
• Software: Familiarity with data recording/analysis tools, proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel for data logging/reporting), and experience navigating basic computer systems and networks.
• Core Competencies: Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills for inventory and documentation, and a meticulous approach to maintaining a clean and orderly work area.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to safely lift and move equipment up to 40 lbs. and perform tasks requiring fine motor skills.
