• Fabricate and build unique rapid prototypes, assemblies, and instrumentation boxes. Support revision iterations according to engineering specifications
• Perform PCB soldering (THT and SMT), assembly, rework, and cable soldering to industry standards
• Assist with upgrades, modification, and reconfiguration of test bays to support ongoing test and research projects
• Communicate project activity, status, and issues to technical owners promptly
• Assist in the creation and maintenance of documentation and participate in redline reviews
• Maintain and develop new inventory of consumables and parts

Required Skills:

• 2+ years of relevant experience as an Electrical or Mechanical Technician, with a focus on rapid prototyping and iteration in a research, fabrication, or test lab environment
• Demonstrated experience in fabrication, assembly, testing, troubleshooting, deployment, operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical and electrical scientific equipment
• Experience with building, repair, and modification of high vacuum chamber systems including associated parts and electromechanical assemblies
• Hands-on experience with electric hand tools and basic fabrication tools (e.g., drills, saws, mills, lathes, drill press, sanders, etc.)
• Proficient in PCB assembly, rework, and cable soldering, with a working knowledge of IPC standards. 
• Familiar working with DMMs, oscilloscopes, LCR meters, HV probes, thermocouples, calipers, and other common measurement equipment.
