Exciting Hardware Engineering Opportunity | Lab Technician 12+ Months

Hi Candiate,

I hope you're doing well

My name is Vinod Nagwanshi, and I'm an IT Recruiter with Infobahn SoftWorld Inc. I came across your profile and believe your background in hardware assembly, electronics testing, and laboratory support could be a potential match for an exciting opportunity I'm currently working on.

Position: Hardware / Lab Technician
Location: Santa Clara, CA 95051
Duration: 12+ Months Contract

Role Overview:

We are looking for a hands-on Hardware / Lab Technician to support hardware development, prototyping, testing, and system integration activities within an engineering lab environment.

The role involves assembling and installing bench-top development platforms, large server systems, and rack infrastructure; performing hardware modifications and mechanical rework; preparing circuit boards for solder rework; and using oscilloscopes to capture and analyse electrical signal waveforms.

You will also collaborate with engineering teams on prototype development, custom test fixture design, CAD modeling, and rapid prototyping using 3D printing technologies.

Key Skills & Experience:

Assemble, build, and install bench top development platforms and large server systems in bench lab and rack lab.

Deploy systems and racks in the data center, connect power, network and bring them up.

Work on parts replacement projects for small and large volume deployments.

Prepare boards for detailed solder reworks to be completed by another lab.

Connect oscilloscope probes to boards and collect signal waveform data.

Perform mechanical reworks involving power tools such as a Dremel.

Design and produce CAD models and detailed drawings for custom test fixtures, with the ability to integrate designs into lab systems. Experience with Creo is preferred but not required.

Support the development, modification, and refinement of prototype components and fixtures, incorporating feedback from engineers and technicians.

Utilize 3D printing and other rapid prototyping methods to fabricate, adjust, and assemble CAD-designed parts. Proficiency with hand tools is highly desirable.

Run laboratory tests on prototypes and make modifications as needed to improve functionality and performance.

Familiarity with electrical wiring and basic system integration is a plus.
