Job Details

Looking for a hands-on and detail-oriented Electronics/HW Technician to join our team, responsible for PCB fabrication support, soldering, board-level repair, and diagnostics of electronic assemblies used in automotive Battery Management Systems, as well as managing lab tools, equipment, and inventory to keep the workshop production-ready:

Key Accountabilities / Main Responsibilities:

  • Perform through-hole (TH), SMD, and micro-soldering/rework on PCBs, including fine-pitch components, BGA/QFN rework, and jumper-wire repairs.
  • Support PCB manual fabrication and assembly processes, including panel checks, solder-paste stencil application, reflow/wave soldering setup, and post-assembly cleaning and inspection.
  • Diagnose and repair faulty boards down to component level using schematics, multi-meters, oscilloscopes, and thermal imaging to identify shorts, opens, and damaged components.
  • Perform functional testing and bring-up support for new and repaired boards, verifying power rails, signal integrity, and basic communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN).
  • Manage lab tools, test equipment, and calibration schedules, ensuring instruments (DSO, power supplies, soldering stations, hot-air rework) are maintained, calibrated, and available.
  • Maintain accurate inventory of electronic components, consumables, and spare parts, including receiving, labeling, stock counts, and reorder alerts using an ERP system.
  • Assist hardware engineers during prototype builds and design validation, providing feedback on manufacturability and assembly issues.
  • Document repair logs, failure-analysis reports, and test results, and maintain organized records of board revisions and rework history.
  • Follow ESD-control procedures and safety guidelines when handling static-sensitive devices and lab equipment.
  • Reading schematic diagrams is mandatory; familiarity with Altium Designer is a plus.

Education:

Diploma or technical degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Bachelor's degree is a plus).

Experience:

  • Minimum of 1 3 years of hands-on experience in PCB soldering, rework, or board-level repair.
  • Experience with automotive or battery-related electronics is strongly preferred.

Tools & Technical Knowledge:

  • Proficient in TH and SMD soldering, including fine-pitch and micro-soldering/rework techniques.
  • Hands-on experience with rework stations, hot-air guns, microscopes, and reflow ovens.
  • Good knowledge of electronics design fundamentals and debugging (analog/digital circuits, power supplies, basic communication protocols).
  • Basic knowledge of PCB design software (Altium Designer, KiCad, or equivalent) for reading and interpreting schematics and layouts.
  • Familiarity with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, multimeters, LCR meters, and programmable power supplies.
  • Experience with assets and inventory management systems (Odoo ERP or similar) is a plus.

Skills and Abilities:

  • Strong hand-eye coordination and attention to detail for fine soldering and micro-rework work.
  • Good troubleshooting and debugging skills at board level.
  • Organized approach to tools, assets, and inventory management.
  • Ability to work independently as well as within cross-functional teams.
  • Good technical documentation and communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and adapt to changing priorities.
  • Following will be considered as a plus: Experience with BGA/QFN rework and Thermal Imaging inspection.
  • Familiarity with ESD-safe workstation setup and standards.
  • Basic understanding of automotive standards (AEC-Q, ISO 26262) as applied to hardware assembly and testing.
