Electronics Job information

What is an electronics job?

Electronics jobs refer to a wide range of careers focused on the design, development, testing, installation, and maintenance of electronic equipment and systems. These roles can include positions such as electronics engineer, technician, assembler, and quality control inspector, among others. Professionals in this field work with devices and systems like circuits, microchips, communication equipment, and consumer electronics. Electronics jobs are found in industries such as telecommunications, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and information technology. The field requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of electronic theory and practical application.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in an electronics job?

To thrive in an electronics job, you need a solid understanding of electronic theory, circuit design, troubleshooting, and typically a degree or certification in electronics or electrical engineering. Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, PCB design software, and soldering equipment is often required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you excel in diagnosing issues and collaborating with teams. These skills ensure accurate problem-solving, high-quality work, and efficient project completion in a technically demanding field.

What are some typical challenges electronics professionals face when working on collaborative projects?

Electronics professionals often collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including software engineers, mechanical designers, and project managers. One common challenge is ensuring seamless communication, as technical requirements may differ across specialties. Additionally, managing timelines and integrating various components into a cohesive system can be complex. Staying updated on evolving industry standards and troubleshooting unforeseen issues also requires adaptability and proactive problem-solving.

What is the difference between Electronics Job vs Electrical Technician?

Job description

Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer - Power Electronics
Heron Power is a well-funded startup building next-generation power conversion hardware for the 21st-century grid. Backed by top investors and led by veterans who have shipped gigawatts of power electronics, we are developing advanced converters (inverters & rectifiers) for renewables, energy storage, data centers, and grid applications.
We are looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer who will build from the ground up the automated test infrastructure that allows us to ship high-reliability, high-power systems at scale.
What You'll Own
You will design, architect, and deliver complete automated test systems across the full lifecycle:
  • PCBA functional test (bed-of-nails, pogo, interface fixtures)
  • Subsystem validation
  • High-power / high-voltage end-of-line (EOL) testing
  • Bi-directional converter test cells (source + sink capability)

Key Responsibilities
  • Own test architecture and coverage strategy from PCBA through full system
  • Design and build high-power test cells including bidirectional sources, regenerative loads, HV measurement chains, protection systems, and safety interlocks
  • Develop automated test sequences (power cycling, efficiency mapping, transient response, fault injection, protection validation)
  • Drive Design-for-Test (DFT) with hardware and firmware teams
  • Own fixture design, instrumentation integration, automation software (strong Python preferred), deployment, and long-term sustainment
  • Continuously improve yield, debug speed, and test reliability in a production environment

This is a high-agency role. The test systems you build will directly determine how fast Heron can iterate, validate, and ship products.
What You Bring
Must-Haves
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Strong experience designing and delivering automated test systems for high-voltage / high-power electronics (inverters, converters, or similar)
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of test systems - from concept and architecture through deployment and sustainment
  • Hands-on expertise with instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads, DAQs, DMMs)
  • Strong Python experience for test automation (preferred) or deep experience with LabVIEW/TestStand + willingness to go deep on Python
  • Solid fundamentals in circuits, power electronics, and high-voltage safety

Nice-to-Haves
  • Experience with bi-directional power testing or regenerative loads
  • PCBA manufacturing functional test and yield improvement
  • HIL systems or embedded firmware validation
  • High-volume production test deployment
Why Join Heron Power?
  • Work on technically hard, high-impact problems in power electronics
  • High ownership and rapid learning curve
  • Direct influence on company velocity (your testers = faster iteration & shipping)
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity in a well-funded company
  • Collaborative, first-principles culture with seasoned leaders

Salary: $150,000 - $200,000+ base + meaningful equity
