Hardware Technician

Responsibilities

Rework and Repair

Assess condition of returned prototype units and confirm failure mode.
Run the prototype unit through a prescribed set of functional tests depending on reported defect and perform failure analysis to determine root cause.
Strategically disassemble the unit, guided by SOPs, and perform a visual inspection of systems that might be related to the failure symptom.
Perform component/module exchanges to isolate the failure.
Document the work performed on each unit in a thorough, consistent manner.

Prototype Assembly

Strong written and verbal communication for documentation and live discussion with Engineering teams.
Failure Analysis.

Quality variations/anomalies

Solution proposals and repairs.
Assembly/operating instructions (SOPs).
Provide solutions to teams with electrical, mechanical and software troubleshooting and repair.
Assist with scaled prototype assembly/disassembly and small pre-production units in varying numbers.

Prototype QA

Flash, program, and calibrate prototypes or testing equipment following outlined SOPs.
Run software scripts and basic commands using the command line interface of Linux, MacOS, and PC platforms.
Not expected to write those scripts.
Needs to be familiar with AB.

Electrical Technician

Use electronic analysis tools to perform systematic QC of electronic assemblies.
Light soldering to repair electrical components.

Must-Have Skills

Experience in repairs; taking apart small electronics, root cause analysis.
Using AI agents and internal tools to flash and program the repairs.
Ability to adapt to a daily changing statement of work.
Ability to prioritize and balance multiple tasks to complete a given statement of work.
Experience with reaching out to responsible design engineers for troubleshooting, clarification, and feedback.
Willingness to propose and implement process improvements (including SOPs) to increase production efficiency.
Proficient use of text, photos, and videos to clearly convey assembly processes to others.
Seek feedback for continuous improvement.
Electronic/Consumer-electronic repair/debugging experience.
Past prototype or assembly line experience, particularly in small electronics or devices.
Familiarity with troubleshooting processes to isolate failures within electronics.
Experience with Linux, Mac, and Windows OS command line.
Experience with ADB and UART communication protocols.
