THIS IS A PART-TIME POSITION.  ESTIMATED 29 1/2 HOURS/WK.  POSSIBILITY FOR FULL-TIME STATUS
We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Technician who will provide hands-on support to engineering and technical teams throughout the prototype development lifecycle, including assembly, testing, documentation, and lab operations. This role assists in the preparation, fabrication, and validation of prototype systems, ensuring adherence to technical specifications, safety standards, and established procedures. The Electrical Engineering Technician supports testing activities by setting up equipment, collecting and recording data, and maintaining accurate documentation. Additionally, the Electrical Engineering Technician contributes to lab organization, inventory management, and coordination of materials and equipment to meet program timelines. Working under direct supervision, the Electrical Engineering Technician ensures efficient, high-quality execution of development and testing activities while gaining foundational technical experience.
Responsibilities

• Works closely with engineers and technicians to support prototype development lifecycle activities, including electrical design support, circuit integration, build, test, troubleshooting, and iterative modification;
• Assists with assembling prototype components, including basic electrical assemblies (e.g., wiring harnesses, connectors, PCB mounting), using hand tools and lab equipment while following schematics, wiring diagrams, and work instructions;
• Prepares materials, electronic components (resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors), parts, and tooling required for prototype builds, fabrication, and circuit integration activities;
• Organizes and stages electrical and mechanical prototype components to support efficient build, integration, and test workflows;
• Assists in setting up electrical test configurations, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, and data systems;
