Flying Probe Test Jobs in Pullman, WA (NOW HIRING)

We are hiring Electronics Technicians across SEL Manufacturing in Pullman, WA and Lewiston, ID. If you have a foundation in electronics and want to grow your skills doing hands-on test and troubleshooting work that directly impacts product quality, these positions might be right for you.

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories exists to make electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. Our devices must respond to system faults within milliseconds-to ensure safety, avoid damage, and minimize outages. Hundreds of utilities and millions of industrial, commercial, and residential consumers depend on SEL products every day.

Our products are industry-leading, and the test infrastructure that verifies them must be as well. Reliability is designed into every SEL product, and Manufacturing is where that design becomes a physical device a customer will depend on for decades. Electronics Technicians sit at the intersection of electronics, instrumentation, troubleshooting, quality, and production. Whether you are performing root cause analysis, troubleshooting test failures to the component level, repairing an automated test station, improving a test script, creating a flying probe test program, or innovating process improvements, your work has a direct impact on our customers, community, and company.

The work is broad, hands-on, and directly improves product quality, manufacturing capability, and SEL devices. The specific work varies by role and day, but across these positions you will apply your electronics fundamentals and build deeper expertise as you solve problems that matter:

• Troubleshoot complex electronic circuits to the component level using schematics, test data, and electronic instrumentation
• Support, maintain, repair, and improve automated electronic test equipment and production test stations
• Develop and refine test methods, techniques, scripts, and programs, including flying probe test programs
• Analyze failures to identify root causes, trends, and opportunities for improvement
• Partner with test operators, test engineers, and R&D teams to support products and test systems
• Continuously identify, measure, and improve processes to make SEL products, test systems, and manufacturing better

Engineering and Manufacturing personnel work closely together during both new product development and production. The instruments are modern, the learning is continuous, and the stakes are high. Every defect you catch or root cause you identify protects a customer and the people who depend on their power system.

Our manufacturing facilities are US-based, modern, clean, safe, and growing. Electronics Technicians are at the heart of what we do and a vital part of our Test Engineering team. You will see your work move quickly from a problem on the production floor to a better test process, stronger product quality, or a repaired device ready for use.

• You have a solid foundation in analog and digital electronics
• You enjoy hands-on troubleshooting, problem solving, and learning by doing
• You want to build deeper expertise in automated test systems, instrumentation, and manufacturing test
• You communicate clearly and work well with operators, technicians, engineers, and production teams
• You want to build things that work and improve processes that matter

• You have experience troubleshooting electronic assemblies to the component level
• You have worked with automated test equipment, flying probe systems, or production test stations
• You have exposure to programming, scripting, or test automation
• You have experience with manufacturing, repair, or quality improvement work

Your work has purpose. Our customers rely on our products to keep critical systems fully operational-and we stand behind them 100 percent. By concentrating on our purpose, we continue to build our service to the electric power industry worldwide.

You own what you build. SEL is 100% employee-owned. There are no outside shareholders. When the company succeeds, you share directly in that success through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

You will grow here. We employ, train, and challenge highly qualified people. You do not need to be a deep expert on day one. We invest in people who know the fundamentals and want to grow. We know that the person best equipped to improve a process is the one performing the process, and that empowerment and education ensure continuous improvement. Apprenticeships, tuition assistance, STEM education, and engineering development programs are all part of how we grow our people.

It is built to last. SEL has manufactured in the United States since 1984. We view our role in the electric power industry with a long-term perspective, which parallels the longevity of our products.

We are actively filling several electronics technician roles across multiple teams in Pullman, WA and Lewiston, ID. Both are part of the Palouse region-a tight-knit community amid the rolling hills of eastern Washington and north-central Idaho, with two major universities as close neighbors, strong K-12 schools, affordable housing, and no traffic. The Snake and Clearwater rivers converge in Lewiston for year-round fishing and boating. Hiking and mountain biking trails are minutes from town, and ski areas like Bluewood, Lookout Pass, and Mount Spokane are within a short drive. Farmers markets, local festivals, community theater, and Division I athletics round out a quality of life that is difficult to match in a larger metro area.

If you have a foundation in electronics and want to do work that matters, we would like to hear from you.
